Hey guys! I'm looking to put either one of these on my touring setup (Armada JJ 116 ULs). Looking for some input on which of these two would be best. One for sure has a better price point but the other definitely has some better features. Thanks!

I had to google both bindings and wtf the helio has the same heelpiece as atk12? Im not a pro but for a 116mm wide ski id get something like atk r14 or if you care about safety some fritschi bindings. I have the r14 and can only recommend, pretty light and stable on the descent. R14 also comes with "freeride spacer" which guarantees a max. powertransfer from boot to the ski. Would have a look at that.

Biggest difference is the U-Spring in the mtn so if you don’t care about adjustable release get the cheaper mtn.But the Atk will also have a bit smoother Ride but thats a very small difference

ATK makes all the helio bindings as far as I'm aware
