ELANAAA-SERIESOnly the most motivated athletes can leave the mainstream behind by pushing beyond their limits. We at ELAN would like to make this as excitingand easy as possible, while also ensuring everyone’s safety. An ELAN ski binding is the result of more than 85 years of research and development.An evolved technology enriched by the experience of the world’s top athletes who trust our bindings when they fly over cliffs, kickers and rails.KEEPS YOU BRAVE.The next level to Access All Areas is reached with the new AAAttack2 bindings. A new toe construction extends the possibilitiesof allmountain skiing.Skiers prefer equipment which provides control, performance and usability. Not only for clear slopes and untracked powder areas, also for stoked parkand half pipe rides. The ELAN AAAttack2 reaches the next stage in combining functionality and modern design to meet these demands. A perfect tool forall-around skiers who are willing to attack!The new FR PRO2 Toe:The FR PRO2 AT Toe:The AAAttack2 14 AT can beadjusted to Alpine (Type A ISO5355) and GripWalk boots, butalso up to Walk Sole, Walk To Rideand Touring ski boots(Type T ISO 9523).The new standard toe construction in theAAAttack2 line – FR PRO2 - is compatiblewith Alpine and GripWalk ski boots.The super secure 77mm metal AntiFriction Device – AFD Metal – can beadjusted to Alpine Boots (Type A ISO5355) and GripWalk Boots.Safety FirstTo increase the safety and performance aspect of the new AAAttack2 bindings,a new release kinematic was developed to reduce friction and guarantee moreconstant release values. The interaction between the spring and the tensionelement is designed as a new system that significantly reduces friction, for evenmore precise and constant release values. Every toe piece is calibrated beforepackaging to ensure exact DIN settings.8

AAAttack2 AT DEMO models, modified versions of the AAAttack Freeski bindings, are the first demo freeski binding, suitable for rental, that areanchored on a metal toe track. This unique feature ensures a lower stand height, a more compact design and increased stability compared withother bindings.FR PRO2 AT Toe:The AAAttack2 AT DEMO models can be adjusted toAlpine (Type A ISO 5355) and GripWalk boots, but alsoup to Walk Sole, Walk To Ride and Touring ski boots(Type T ISO 9523).With these bindings, boot-binding compatibility issuesduring demos or rentals are relegated to the past.To avoid displacements during handling of the skis, thelength adjustment lever of the demo models is nowbetter integrated.The AAAttack2 AT DEMOmodels provide a modifiedPowerRail track under the heel piece,making it easy to adjust manually.Since this easy to adapt AAAttack2 AT DEMO Freeski binding model was designed for a wide range of sole lengths, it can be adjusted to all available alpine boot sole lengths from 259 to 382 mm, tool-free in a matter of seconds, by moving the toe and heel pieces.ISO 5355TOURING - ISO 9523Alpine Adult(A)GripWalk(GW)Walk SoleWalk To Ride(W)Touring(T)AAATTACK2 18X ATXXXXAAATTACK 16 ATXXXXAAATTACK2 13 ATXXXXAAATTACK2 11 GWXXAAATTACK2 13 AT DEMOXXXXAAATTACK2 11 AT DEMOXXXXLine 2018/192AT – Alpine Touring.

TECHNICAL INFORMATIONELAN TECHNOLOGIES1. FUSION1The Fusion System is the world’s first trulyintegrated ski binding system, paving theway for faster turn initiation, smoother flexand easier turning and enhanced edge-to-edge responsiveness.2The Fusion binding system now has anupgrade. Its features include easier handling with tool-less mounting and synchronous movement, better performance withfreeflex under the binding and improvedstability and a considerable 15% / minus330 g weight reduction per ski. Designedby the acclaimed Porsche Design Studio,the upgraded Fusion got the look, too!31Click-in bindings2Central locking mechanism3Syncro movement4Stability5Freeflex6Wide binding hold14562. SHIFTThe Shift System is built with a lean profile comprised of lightweight materials, anddesigned to offer optimized performance.2561The foundation of the Shift System is aplate-in-plate free flex design that allowsthe ski to bend along its length. Additionally, vibration absorbers dampen chatterbetween the ski and the plate, improvingthe connection between the skier's feet.Wide ABS platform creates optimal powertransfer further increasing precision andedge hold.34LIGHTWEIGHT112THIN PROFILEReduced weight due to construction.PERFORMANCE2"PLATE-IN-PLATE" FREEFLEX CONSTRUCTIONA new solution, two plates that move freely.This technology has free flex and greatpower transfer at the same time.3POWER TRANSFER PLATFORMDelivers optimal power transfer furtherincreasing precision and edge hold.4VIBRATION ABSORBERSImprove comfort and provide a smooth ridein any situation.EASY HANDLING5ENHANCE GLIDING6TOOL FREE, CLICK IN BINDINGS

3. FREEFLEX EVOFreeflex EVO reduces the impact on the natural flex of the ski to a minimum. The new construction of the roller pincer system and its wingsguarantee utmost stability. The newly designed longer wings overlapbetter with the ski boot and hence in less forward pressure. ELAN developed an intelligent Race AFD gliding element which moves togetherwith the ski flex enabling constant contact between boot and bindingin all flex situations. The synchro adjustment of the wings provides precise adjustment to ski boot sole heights, preventing wobbling betweenbinding and boot.4. SUPERLITERAIL - SLR IIThe SLR (SuperLiteRail) System is based on a new construction usinghighly valuable materials for improved weight distribution, lightweight design and it guarantees durability.SUPERLITERAIL II – Bindings-Base System below 1700g! With the2-piece SLR II base, weight was reduced significantly. Only 1680 gramsper pair makes this adult system extraordinarily light for a DIN 9 binding,due to a base weight of only 280 g and a refined lighter binding construction with 1400g binding weight. The base offers 3 different mountingpositions to cover boot sole lengths between 199 and 347 mm.5. QUICKTRICK / POWERRAILThe one-of-a-kind rail system developed by ELAN meets the demands ofthe adult skier market and is perfectly suited for both the retail and rentalsectors! The PowerRail is a true success due to its great number of features: easiest handling, maximum flexibility, optimal performance, perfectmatching, increased stability and durability. In addition, the toe and heelguides can be replaced or fitted to provide long-term performance.Powerrail System is a modular system for maximum flexibility. Differentbases - PowerRail PR and TWIN PR - can be combined with specialdampeners in different widths and colors for optimal ski-fitting and furthermore different binding models (EL 11.0 MBS and EL 10.0) are available.Mounting and adjusting of all rail bindings is extremely simple and withoutany additional tool: Open the toe/heel- lever and slide the toe/heel onthe rail and lock at the appropriate boot sole length and close the lever– READY to GO!6. RX/SX KINEMATICSThe RX and SX product lines were developed using kinematics based on laboratory measurements and tests. The advantages: enhanced performance and safety.Considerably improved canting stabilityfor better edge grip and faster edge toedge turns.Horizontally – more stability formore direct power transmissionfrom boot to edge.Vertically – whether it is iced up, dirty or worn,the boot is always precisely secure due to thelinear adaptation to the height of the ski bootsole. This ensures precise and powerful turns.13
