ATK Candy 5 97mm
Product description
The right start to ski touring!
The brand new ATK model "Candy 5" combines the complete DNA of the ATK bindings and embodies a sophisticated combination of robustness and simple, intuitive handling especially for the needs and requirements of particularly lightweight users such as Children and young people.
Light, with a minimalistic design and with lower release values (Z-value of 1.5 - 5) than usual, the new ATK "Candy 5" is particularly easy to use and, with its significantly lower body weight, offers the next generation of ski tourers the best and highest performance product quality.
"Candy 5" offers the same features as the ATK "adult models", such as extremely low weight (only 290g!), Solid, extremely reliable construction and comfortable, practical handling and thus represents ATK's 100% commitment to the next ski tourer generation!
All technical details have been specially adapted to the use of particularly lightweight people (<40kg):
The innovative ATK toe piece made of carbon plastic, which is already used in "Release10" and "C-Raider12", has been further developed for even easier handling and is equipped with a larger locking lever made of special plastic and, above all, with softer springs, which further improve safety.
The heel, which is simplified compared to "normal" models, offers an adjustment range of 50mm and two different walking positions that can be reached by turning the heel.
The incomparable ATK CAM-RELEASE-SYSTEM in the heel offers a super-soft step-in that only requires a few kilos of pressure to get into the binding, while the ELASTIC-RESPONSESYSTEM, which is also integrated, guarantees a length compensation of a total of 12mm and thus further increases the release security.
The proven stopper on the heel is available in 5 widths (75, 86, 91, 97, 102 mm) and comes with a significantly softer spring on the locking button than in the standard version.
You are just ordering these bindings without the skis?
Please inquire which width your ski has in the middle.
If you are insecure or your ski is out of the designated widths, our ski hotline will advise you.
Depending on the ski boot size and sidecut of your ski, the mounting point of the binding may change and thus the width of the ski may differ below the stopper.

Cam Release System®
The king of the ATK® patented systems! The CAM RELEASE SYSTEM® is fitted inside of our touring bindings heels in order to drive the boot step-in and vertical release in case of fall. A special CAM profile is pressed towards the heel pins by a pre-tensioned spring: when the step-in or a fall release occur, the pins are forced to go through the CAM profile which provides a precise resistance to the pin release, depending on the release value set on the binding.
-Provides the most stable downhill performances on the market with consistent reduction of bootorsion compared to any other tech heel part
- Extremely precise release performance
- Provides the softest heel step in of the industry
- Small dimensions compared to performance and astonishing lightweight

Elastic Response System®
A spring is placed in between the base plate of the binding and the adjustment screw. When the ski bents under the effect of a compression or a jump, the heel part can slide backward with an elastic travel of 10 or 12 mm, depending on the binding.
- Grants the natural ski flex, also in case of big jumps/compressions
- Improves binding release performance when the binding is stressed
- Reduces the pressure on the ski-boot-binding system
