Atomic Shift² 16 MN Bindings - No Brake

The Atomic Shift² 16 MN is a hard charging hybrid binding engineered for skiers who demand uphill efficiency and extreme downhill performance in one system. Built off the same platform as the DIN 13 model but with some key upgrades, this version can be pushed to the limits. The new 3-Part Power Heel boasts nearly twice the amount of elastic travel compared to the 13, while a metal reinforced baseplate with rubber dampeners provides reliable shock absorption and power transfer when charging big lines or plowing through variable snow. Another key upgrade is the Hike & Ride Switch, made from aluminium to withstand heavy use day after day and deliver increased durability. With all the other improvements from last seasons updated Shift²’s like the micro-adjustable AFD featuring the aluminium power block, XL toe wings and more reliable brake locking system, this binding truly is the one for big mountain charging skiers. Hunt out the biggest lines and rip them with the upmost confidence with the Shift² 16.

Features

3-Part Power Heel: At DIN 16, they absorb twice as much energy than Shift² 13 MN at DIN 13. The result: the binding stays on when you need it most during deep compressions, big landings, or high-speed chop yet still releases when it should. 3-Part Power Heel delivers enhanced energy absorption and secure boot retention, extending the Shift²s trusted downhill performance into the biggest terrain and toughest conditions. A hybrid toe pairs with an alpine-style heel for full freeride capability.

Updated Platform: The new micro-adjustable AFD features a single-block aluminum insert located inside, integrally supporting the AFD while allowing micrometric up and down adjustment via a central screw for an extremely precise fit with the boot interface. The result is a binding with 30% more lateral stiffness in the toe for superior power transfer.

Reinforced Baseplate: A metal-reinforced baseplate with integrated rubber dampers delivers strong power transfer and reliable shock absorption. Built for high responsiveness, it offers stability and comfort whether you’re charging big lines or working through variable snow conditions.

Alu Hike & Ride Switch: Made from durable, lightweight aluminium, this upgraded switch easily shifts between hike and ride modes. Its robust construction stands up to heavy use in demanding conditions, delivering dependable performance whether you’re climbing skin tracks or charging big descents

Touring Capability: The Shift² employs a pin toe construction for touring, granting complete freedom of movement during hikes. Featuring a simple step-in mechanism, effortless transition between skiing and touring modes, and swift access to climbing aids, the Shift² streamlines the process of reaching untouched slopes like never before.
