For ski mountaineers and athletes who demand the pinnacle of performance and minimal weight, the ATK Timepacer 12 Binding is the perfect companion. Whether you’re pushing your limits on steep ascents, racing up mountainsides, or enjoying the thrill of a fast descent, this binding ensures that every move is executed with precision, comfort, and control. Designed with innovation at its core, the Timepacer offers cutting-edge features that make it a standout in the world of high-performance touring bindings.
At just 250g, the Timepacer delivers exceptional nimbleness, a crucial advantage for uphill efficiency without sacrificing the performance needed for downhill fun. Constructed with Alu 7075, POM, and stainless steel, the binding’s advanced materials provide optimal strength while maintaining a minimal overall weight. Its race-inspired, airy design is engineered to maximize your uphill experience without compromising the power transfer needed for the descent. Every component is meticulously designed to deliver performance without excess bulk, enabling athletes to push their limits further.
The Timepacer 12 is packed with ATK's proprietary technologies designed to enhance ease of use and reliability. The Race Brake System® is a game-changer, automatically activating the ski brake when you switch the heel flap between uphill and downhill modes. This means less hassle, more focus, and a system that just works when you need it. When transitioning back to uphill mode, the brake locks without requiring any additional movement, allowing you to save valuable time and energy during your ski tours.
The Easy Entry System® revolutionizes step-ins, featuring a redesigned toe piece with innovative geometries. This allows you to step in smoothly and easily—even if your boots have seen many seasons and are showing signs of wear. Coupled with the Snow Pack Proof System, snow and ice build-up under the toe piece is minimized, ensuring that your binding remains reliable and agile, even on the coldest days with frequent transitions.
Whether you're climbing up or carving down, precision in release and fit is essential. The Timepacer 12 boasts lateral release adjustability from 6 to 12, allowing you to fine-tune your release settings for optimal safety, control, and performance. With a 30mm boot size adjustment, this binding is compatible with a wide range of boots, ensuring a snug and secure fit for every skier. The dedicated T-shaped heel plate enhances power transmission, offering superior control while also providing added stability during your most demanding runs.
The Timepacer 12 Binding is designed to handle a variety of terrain with ease. It offers three climbing positions (flat, +28mm, and +38mm) to ensure optimal adaptation to the ever-changing conditions of the mountain. Whether you're dealing with a steep incline or a gentle slope, you can easily adjust the heel piece to match the terrain, ensuring maximum comfort and efficiency. The Speed Toe Piece, which features a hybrid mounting pattern, provides better downhill performance, making it perfect for skiers who seek precision in both uphill and downhill modes. Plus, its ergonomic lever makes opening, step-out, and closing operations easier, so you can focus on the adventure ahead.
Crafted from high-quality materials such as Alu 7075 and POM, the Timepacer 12 is built to last. It stands up to the rigors of backcountry skiing, with components engineered to withstand the elements and maintain peak performance season after season. The ski brake system, available in widths of 80mm, 86mm, 91mm, and 97mm, is designed to be nimble and light while ensuring compliance with on-piste regulations. Its careful construction ensures longevity, so you can rely on it even during your most demanding expeditions.
The philosophy of “performance through minimalism” is at the core of ATK's design approach. With every gram carefully considered, the Timepacer 12 Binding is a testament to ATK's commitment to lightweight, high-performance ski touring gear.
