Atomic Backland Summit 12 BR Black Ski Bindings

The Summit 12 shares the family's intuitive toe guide and pole-operated risers, keeping transitions straightforward in the backcountry. Its AutoFlex spring allows approximately 5 mm of heel travel, helping the binding accommodate ski flex during compressions and turns.

A release range extending to 12 makes this version better suited to heavier or more aggressive skiers than the Summit 9. The touring brake locks for climbing, then returns to ski mode without adding a separate leash step.
