A binding the reviewer got as a demo and liked enough to keep — something they only do with favourites. The highback recalls the Force of ten years ago but is rebuilt with a modern flex pattern: soft at the top, widening and stiffening about 2 cm down. The twist and the give up top are good enough that it never bit their calf. The 2024 redesign improved the response, and a new gas pedal raised toe-side response so it's now symmetrical.

Good
- ✓A well-judged highback flex pattern that never bites your calf
- ✓The 2024 redesign made the response symmetrical
- ✓Flexes well underfoot for a full-disc binding
- ✓Mid-pack weight at around 900 g each
Not so good
- —On rough snow the Atlas holds an edge more quietly
- —The Strata, Ultra or Falcor are better if you want more buttering
