Atomic Neox 412 Ski Bindings- As skis became shorter and shorter, the percentage of ski covered by bindings increased to nearly 40%. This high amount of coverage began to inhibit the flex of the ski so Atomic went straight to work, excited by the new challenge. After numerous failed attempts to make human feet smaller, Atomic decided just to do the work it takes to make a better binding. Along came the NEOX binding, specially designed to maintain correct release values while allowing the ski to perform as it was intended.
