Designed for rising athletes destined for the World Cup and other elite racers, the Atomic Icon RS 16 has the same proven race technology as the bindings used by World Cup pros but tailormade for up-and-coming racers needing DIN levels 8-16. A wide, solid base and a mounting position directly underneath the boot optimizes power transfer. Power and durability come from steel and fiberglass binding construction, while a Metal Race Pedal allows the boot to sit squarely in place for better energy transmission to the skis. Elevated brakes that sit close to the heelpiece of the TÃœV-certified binding allow for uncompromising edge angles toward the gate.
