New ATK hybrid binding

New ATK binding just got released. Stated release range of 4-11 or 6-13, hopefully this gets a proper DIN cert, if yes would be very good competitor to what is out there right now based on weight alone. If not having a proper DIN will probably just be a competitor in the heavy freetour type binding (kingpin, rotation, tecton) but with a proper looking toe piece that has elastic travel (according to ATK).
Very excited to see it out there, and what it actually looks and feels like, and especially curious if it will get a DIN cert, as if it doesn't is it really a true "hybrid" binding, or just a beefy touring binding?

I'm guessing it would get a real DIN cert as otherwise would be filling basically the same niche as the freeraider apart from not needing tech heels

Yeah I hope so. It does separate itself from the freeraider since you would have a more alpine style toe for the way down. I'm curious to see durability as well and how it compares to shift, since it does seem to have a lot more metal, but still tons of moving parts.
