The V-Crest 10 Brake Binding blends lightweight touring efficiency with downhill power for everyday backcountry missions
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“If you want a do-it-all tech binding that punches way above its weight class, the Crest 10 is it. It’s got the uphill efficiency of a race binding, but still feels stable and confident on the descent.”
The V-Crest 10 Brake Binding is built for skiers who want lightweight touring capability without giving up confidence on the descent. Weighing just 295 grams, this binding delivers an impressive combination of uphill efficiency, customizable release values, and reliable power transmission in a minimalist package. It’s ideal for backcountry missions that call for long approaches, technical terrain, and variable snow conditions.
The updated Speed Toe Piece features a hybrid mounting pattern and an ergonomic lever design, offering smoother transitions and better snow-shedding performance when things get deep. The heel piece includes ATK’s Elastic Response System to promote natural ski flex and help absorb impacts, while the dual MagnetoHeel flaps and 20mm of boot length adjustment add everyday usability and touring comfort. Built with durable materials like aluminum and stainless steel, the V-Crest 10 is a high-value choice for skiers who want serious performance with zero excess.
