Features
Welcome to a whole new world of fitness touring with the Timepacer, the perfect binding for skiers who need a reliable, high-performance option for their training skis. Designed for all athletes who aim at maintaining their fitness throughout the winter season, the Timepacer excels in both uphill efficiency and downhill fun. Whether you are a seasoned competitor or an athlete cross-training for summer sports, this lightweight binding combines minimal weight with maximum performance to ensure you enjoy every session on the snow.
Toe piece —
- Speed Toe Piece: redesigned to improve downhill performance with its hybrid mounting pattern—narrow at the front holes and wide at the rear. Its ergonomic lever, designed with a specific joint, makes opening, step-out, and closing operations easier. The Speed Toe Piece also includes our Snowpack Proof System, carefully designed to prevent snow and ice from accumulating under the locking mechanism, ensuring it remains safe and easy to operate even on the coldest days with frequent transitions.
- Integrated but removable rampant support.
Heel Piece —
- Brake management system: this binding comes equipped with a race-inspired ski brake system (available in 80, 86, 91, and 97mm widths), specially designed for seamlessly switching between uphill and downhill modes by simply flipping the first heel flap. By including this nimble and light solution we ensured compliance with on-piste regulations, allowing for a wider choice of training ground.
- Lateral release adjustability: the Timnepacer delivers exceptional power and reliability, with adjustable lateral release values ranging from 6 to 12. Customize your binding settings for optimal safety, control, and performance in diverse mountain environments.
- Adjustability: The Timepacer 12 introduces a new, dedicated heel plate that significantly enhances power transmission, thanks to its “T” shape, while providing 30mm of length adjustability.
- Walking modes: offers three different climbing positions (flat, +28mm, +38mm), allowing for optimal adaptation to varying terrain and inclines.
Performing Through Lightness —
Our foundation, our roots. ATK took its first steps in this industry by developing lightweight race bindings, and now, as then, lightness is key to achieving what athletes crave: speed. Therefore, it's easy to understand why “performance through lightness” has been the mantra that has accompanied ATK's growth in its early years.
As our role in the ski mountaineering universe started to evolve, we needed some stabilization because it's easy to lose control during a phase of growth, just as it is easy to get caught up in the events. That's why we decided to keep our roots stable, not changing our approach to the activity, and ultimately not getting in our own way.
In fact, as we expanded our catalogue to include the speed touring, touring, and free touring categories, we remained steadfast in our commitment to enabling an ever-wider range of ski mountaineers to achieve performance through lightness.
Durability —
Crafted from high-quality materials and engineered to withstand the rigors of backcountry skiing, the Timepacer offers exceptional durability and reliability. The carefully machined components and thoughtful construction ensure longevity to this tech binding, providing peace of mind during your most demanding adventures.
