Atomic Shift² Touring Binding

Yes, that is exactly what it is designed for. The hybrid construction allows you to switch between a pin-toe setup for efficient uphill touring and a traditional alpine heel for reliable, high-performance downhill skiing.

The Shift² is highly versatile and compatible with standard Alpine DIN, GripWalk, and Touring ISO boot soles. This makes it a great choice if you own multiple pairs of boots or plan to upgrade your gear.

It offers the security of a standard alpine binding, including consistent release values and superior elastic travel to prevent unwanted pre-releases. With the updated AFD and reinforced toe piece, it provides the same level of reliability and safety you would expect from a dedicated resort binding.

Atomic focused on durability and reliability with this update. Key changes include a reinforced toe piece, a more robust locking lever for easier transitions, and a redesigned AFD to ensure more consistent release performance.

No, the Shift² is engineered for advanced to expert skiers. With a maximum DIN setting of 13.0, it is designed to handle the aggressive forces and technical demands of experienced backcountry and resort skiers.

Yes, the extra-wide platform is a significant advantage, especially when skiing on wider powder skis. It maximizes lateral power transfer, giving you more stability and control in variable snow conditions compared to narrower touring bindings.
