ATK Newmark Lite Telemark Binding (NTN)

About the binding

Kneel before the full-aluminum, lightweight, hard-charging answer to every telemarker's need. Multiple spring stiffness options. Full NTN boot size compatibility. One binding to flex them all.

Our second visit to planet Telemark starts from where
the first one ended.

The Newmark Lite is the result of a complete rethink
of our historic Newmark binding from 2016. The objective was clear: bring in a
lighter, smarter and more versatile form of the Newmark, while applying the
technologies, materials and attention to detail that define ATK today.

The result is a fully CNC-machined aluminum Telemark binding weighing just 255 grams in uphill mode, equipped with an intuitive step-in system, adjustable emergency release and a removable NTN module. One binding, compatible with all NTN sole lengths and designed to adapt to different skiing styles, from smooth backcountry turns to carving on groomed slopes.

NTN Module:

• One Binding to Flex Them All:
  the Newmark Lite is offered in a single version compatible with all NTN
  sole lengths. The system can be configured for S and L boot sizes by
  selecting the correct position of the NTN hook and the dedicated module
  support installed on the toe piece.
• Removable
  NTN module: during the ascent, the entire NTN module can be
  removed from the binding and carried in a pocket or backpack. Removing the
  module from the foot provides a tangible advantage during the climb.
  Weight carried in a backpack is transported continuously, while weight
  attached to the foot must be repeatedly lifted and accelerated with every
  step.
• Snowpack
  Proof System - NTN: the underside of the NTN module features a
  completely smooth profile specifically designed to prevent snow
  accumulation and reduce the typical “snow clog” that can form beneath
  Telemark bindings.
• Two
  spring kits: the Newmark Lite comes with soft springs
  installed as standard, while a stiffer spring kit is included directly in
  the box. This allows the skier to adapt the binding response according to
  personal skiing preferences. Changing between the two configurations is
  straightforward. The rear caps of the NTN module can be unscrewed,
  allowing the installed springs to be removed and replaced with the
  alternative set.

• Toe piece:

  • Telepathic
    step-in: immediate and intuitive usability was one of the
    key objectives behind the Newmark Lite. The toe piece has been designed to
    make stepping into the binding quick and natural, so the skier can focus
    on skiing rather than on the binding.
  • Snowpack
    Proof System: one of ATK’s patented technologies has been
    integrated into the Newmark Lite to reduce the accumulation of snow
    beneath the binding mechanism and preserve functionality during use.
  • Six-screw:
    the toe piece uses a six-screw mounting pattern compatible with the ATK
    M06 drilling jig.
  • CNC-machined:
    the structural components are fully CNC machined from aluminum,
    contributing to the Newmark Lite’s total weight of just 255 grams in uphill mode.
  • SBC02
    Leash Compatibility: the binding is compatible with the ATK SBC02
    leash.
  •  Adjustable emergency release: the
    toe piece is equipped with an adjustable emergency release system, situated
    under the front lever.

  Uphill System:

  Heel Riser: simple, reliable and
  lightweight, the Newmark Lite heel riser is activated by pressing the rear
  lever. To retract it, simply press it back toward the ski. The heel riser can
  also be used when climbing without removing the NTN module. In this
  configuration, keeping the riser engaged prevents the NTN hook from connecting
  with the second heel of the NTN boot.
