I would like to mount either this binding with DIN 12 or the Timespacer 12 or the Haute Route 10 on my Skitrab neve 93mm x 181 cm. I weigh 105 kilos and am 194cm tall and am an advanced skier but I do not shred. I like slow controlled, technical descents. Which would you think is best for my weight, the skis and my style?
Oh, I previously had the Titan vario which releases on the uphill, but never had problems on the downhill and the atomic mtn 12 binding (no problems). Thanks.
The Kuluar bindings from ATK were built to provide the perfect weight-to-feature ratio for those who want a svelte yet functional binding. Compared to lighter race bindings, the Kuluar has an adjustable lateral release that allows you to crank it up (or down) to match your skill. The Elastic Response System allows the heel piece to slide aft on the base plate, helping prevent unwanted release in compression scenarios. The push-button brakes are easy to operate and have a fighting chance at stopping a runaway ski; or, opt for no brakes with the LT version. ATK offers a cornucopia of binding models, and the Kuluar with Brakes is the exact combo to meet many intrepid adventurers' needs.
- Alu 7075, Stainless Steel, and POM make up a hardy construction.
- 20mm of BSL adjustment accommodates your boot quiver.
- Elastic Response System compensates for ski flexion if you bottom out on a landing.
- Included crampon receptor can be removed for additional weight savings.
- Easy Entry System makes stepping into the toe piece a breeze.
- Available with multiple release ranges.

Hi, is the spring replaceable on these bindings to change the vertical release? Also, recommendations for toe shims?
11/19/2025
Seth- The Kuluar springs are replaceable with the Trofeo springs. The Kuluar 12 uses the 10 Trofeo spring and the Kuluar 9 uses the Trofeo 6 spring for reference.

Will the 97mm brakes work on a 100mm ski? Will the 102's be restocked soon?
10/20/2025
Kristoff, the 97mm brakes will work up to a 101mm ski just fine.

What are the approximate vertical releases for the two models?
Can you sub in a 108 push button brake?
How wide a ski will the 102 accept?
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
The vertical release on the Kuluar 9 is approximately 8-8.5, and the Kuluar 12 is approximately 9-10. Keep in mind that the measured release value will vary with your bot sole length!
We can swap a brake for you - if you're interested, reach out to us at help@skimo.co! I would say the 102mm brake will fit a ski up to approximately 105mm.

Can these be sold and mounted without the brakes since the LT is not stocked
5/3/2025
Hi David, yes these can! You'll want the "Classic Brake Seat Covers" on the ATK Binding Parts page to protect the internal plastic and prevent them from icing up.
5/3/2025
Hi David, we are happy to reconfigure one for you, please reach out to help@skimo.co to set it up.
