The Backland Summit 9 offers the same great features found on Atomic's Summit 12 but with release values geared for lighter skiers. The glass-infused polyamide (PA) construction of the Summit 9 is lightweight, damp, and durable, making it an excellent material for a backcountry binding. The integrated brakes are intuitive and can be engaged with the ski still on, helping lessen the time spent transitioning. The built-in toe guide helps you step into the toe piece the first time while the AutoFlex system helps keep your skis happily on your feet in bumpy terrain. Simple, reliable, and sturdy, the Atomic Backland Summit 9 will be with you for many adventures.
- Lateral release is adjustable between 4-9 so you can dial it in.
- AutoFlex System allows for 8mm of rearward travel, helping prevent pre-release.
- Four brake width options of 80, 90, 100, and 110 to stop your quiver of skis.
- 50mm of BSL adjustment will accommodate the quiver of boots and more!
- Step-In Aid helps make short work of clicking into the toe piece.
- Flat mode and two riser options let you find the setting that's just right.
- Risers engage over the heel pins so no tower rotation is necessary.

Can you take the brakes off of these and just use leashes or does it need a different baseplate?
11/29/2025
Hi Evan, they're is a brakeless version and if you look closely, they do have a different pad in front of the heel where the brakes would be. That pad/the brakes take up space and support the heel track from underneath in the area around the mounting screws, so I wouldn't recommend mounting the bindings without the brakes or the brakeless pad.

Hello,
Will these, in size 90mm, fit Atomic Backland 88/89 SL? I think the answer is yes, but just want to confirm before buying. Thx.

Hi there, I'm thinking about picking these up for a pair of Dynafit 97 Free skis. I'd normally go for the 90mm model - I prefer not to have brakes sticking too far outboard. Was just hoping to confirm that the 90mm brakes will fit a 97mm waist? Thanks!

Rhys, I tested, go with the 100mm. With just 10mm between sizes, they fit close to stated width and the arms tuck in well.
