The Binding That Disappears on the Ascent and Delivers on the Descent.
The Experience:
The Ultra Worldcup is the lightest binding in the HAGAN lineup and one of the lightest race-ready tech bindings available anywhere. It is composed of a titanium and aluminum alloy construction stripped to its absolute essentials, with a fixed release setting and a single-minded focus on uphill speed. At 110g brakeless and 135g with brake, it is the binding of choice for skimo racers, elite mountaineers, and fastpacking tourers who have done the math on every gram in their setup and refuse to carry anything that isn't earning its place. Two versions exist to serve two distinct needs. The Ultra Worldcup Brakeless is the pure performance option, the lightest possible configuration for ski mountaineers and weight-focused tourers operating in open backcountry terrain where a retention system is not required. The Ultra Worldcup Brake is the mandatory choice for competitive skimo racers, ISMF-sanctioned races require a brake, and most independently organized races operating within resort boundaries require either a brake or a leash as a condition of participation. If you're racing, this is the one. If you're not racing but simply want the lightest functional binding available for backcountry objectives, the brakeless version saves you 25g per binding and removes one more piece of hardware from the equation. Either way, what you get is a binding that disappears beneath your foot on the skin track and snaps into action the moment the descent demands it. Note that the Worldcup toe piece does not feature a ski crampon slot, however it is fully compatible with the optional ATK crampon slot adapter for technical objectives that demand one.
The Ultra World Cup is made for HAGAN in partnership with ATK in Italy. HAGAN partnered with ATK, well respected for quality, craftsmanship and functionality, to bring what we feel are their best products to North America. The Ultra World Cup is identical to the ATK SL World Cup .
