ATK HY 11 Hybrid Ski Bindings

The HY 11 is interesting because ATK has attacked the hybrid-binding weight problem without treating the descent as an afterthought. At 675 g it is still not light by pin-binding standards, but it is notably lighter than many alpine-interface hybrids.

Consider Another Option If:

your priority is maximum uphill efficiency, your release settings exceed 11, or you prefer the proven simplicity of a conventional tech binding.

• Freeride touring with moderate release settings
• Skiers who want more alpine-like support without a 900+ g binding
• Medium to wide touring skis

• Boot sits flat on the ski in downhill mode
• Adjustable toe release and 9 mm heel elasticity
• Negative walk mode for flat approaches
• Two additional climbing positions
• HY brake system integrated into transitions

Do touring boots need tech inserts?

Yes for uphill mode. The HY offers broad sole compatibility for skiing, but the touring function still relies on tech inserts.

How does the HY 11 differ from the HY 13?

The platform and 675 g weight are essentially the same. The primary difference is the lower 4-11 release range, which better suits lighter skiers.
