Designed for high-level athletes—including future world champions and other elite racers—the Atomic Icon RS 16 features the same race-proven technology found in World Cup bindings, but tailored for up-and-coming competitors requiring a DIN range of 8–16. It features a wide, solid pedal and mounts directly beneath the boot for optimized power transfer. Power and durability are derived from a steel and fiberglass construction, while the Metal Race Pedal ensures the boot stays firmly in place for superior energy transmission to the skis. Raised brakes positioned near the heel of the TÜV-certified binding allow for extreme edge angles when navigating gates.
