Ultra World Cup Brake
ISMF-legal racing and fast resort laps, where a brake is required and the binding should disappear.
Race Legal. Race Light.
The Ultra World Cup is the lightest binding in the HAGAN lineup and one of the lightest race-ready tech bindings available anywhere. Titanium and aluminum alloy construction, stripped to its essentials, with a fixed release setting and a single-minded focus on uphill speed.
This is the version with the brake, and if you're racing it's the one you need. ISMF-sanctioned races require a brake, and most independently organized races operating inside resort boundaries require either a brake or a leash as a condition of entry. At 135g it costs you 25g per binding over the brakeless version, which is a small price for being able to start. 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.
If you're not racing and simply want the lightest functional binding for backcountry objectives, the brakeless version saves you those grams. The toe piece on both has no ski crampon slot, but it's compatible with the optional ATK crampon slot adapter.
The Ultra World Cup is made for HAGAN in partnership with ATK in Italy, who we work with to bring their best products to North America. It is identical to the ATK SL World Cup.
Specifications
Choosing a brake: pick a width equal to or slightly wider than your ski’s waist. A brake narrower than the ski will not clear it.
Shipping & Returns
Orders ship from our US warehouse. Skis ship oversized, so allow a little extra transit time. Full details on our shipping page.
Returns: Unused gear can be returned within 30 days. Once bindings have been mounted, skis cannot be returned. Please confirm your length and brake width before mounting We reccomend brakes be >2mm wider than the skis midpoint.
Warranty: Three years against manufacturing defects, extended to five years when you register your gear. See warranty & returns.
Mounting & Setup
We offer professional binding mounting when you buy a ski and binding together. Add it to your order and we'll mount and test before shipping.
If you're mounting elsewhere, bring your boots — sole length sets the adjustment, and release values should be set and checked by someone qualified.
This is a tech (pin) binding and needs boots with tech inserts. Nearly all modern touring boots have them; alpine boots don't.
