Ski With Edge Control You Didn't Think a Tech Binding Could Deliver.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Experience:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn most tech bindings, the boot sole never actually contacts the ski — and that small gap is where downhill performance quietly leaks away. The ATK AL09 Freeride Spacer closes it. By filling the space between the boot sole and the ski, it transfers impact force directly into the ski rather than through the binding pins, eliminating the torsional and vertical \"slop\" common to lesser tech bindings and delivering edge control closer to an alpine setup than a touring one. Two elastic anti-friction pads preserve proper side release when the spacer is loaded during jumps and compressions, and included washers let you dial in the exact height for your boot sole — so when it's calibrated correctly, your lateral release behaves exactly as it should. For the freeride tourer driving wide skis hard, it's a small part that makes a meaningful difference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 29g each\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade For: Free touring\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: Delrin 100 BK602\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Black\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains: Pair — 2 spacers (for two bindings) + 2 sets of shims.

Under load, that gap closes into a solid boot-to-ski connection. Too little gap can make stepping into the heel pins difficult and overstress the spacer. Because performance and durability depend heavily on correct setup, the AL09 is not warrantable — but individual spacers can be replaced at a very reasonable price. To add to already-mounted bindings, remove the binding, install the spacer, and remount with fresh glue using the same screws — no new holes required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ATK Race","offers":[{"title":"Pair","offer_id":42666805657857,"sku":"AL09","price":73.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single","offer_id":42666805690625,"sku":"AL09-1","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/8116\/files\/IMG_6312.heic?v=1772229784","url":"https:\/\/haganskiusa.com\/products\/core-12-pro-freeride-spacer","provider":"HAGAN Ski USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
