Official ATK Binding Thread

[CaliBrit]

Not happy to hear that as I am looking to install two on new skis to me. I wonder if a dab of silicon caulk on top of the screw heads would stay in place.

Yeah I’m going to experiment next season.

I have some 3M abrasion tape that they put on the leading edge of helicopter blades that is very thin, super tough and abrasion resistant.

I’ll report back.

Slick strips work great on finding screws to keep snow build up down-

Hardest part is cutting little circles.
It’s the same material Voile uses for their anti ice binding covers.

No personal experience, but even though that race model is slightly lighter, its springless toe design is similar to ATK’s heaviest freeride models. So I’m hoping that’s a good sign for being more robust.

Upon further inspection of the ATK Revolution including placing it up against a regular ATK SL WC: the springless toe design conveys a robust impression, but some elements of the toe unit base are pared down in subtle yet noticeable ways, especially around the screw holes.
Also noticeable is the stunning beauty of the toe piece. I might even take one out of the box and put it on display in a plastic case in my workshop, as it's that wonderful to behold.

looks like an updated haute route will be coming out this season, slightly different heel piece with two risers

Helio180 and Dynafit Radical share the same mount pattern, do they not?

Hoping to reuse some existing holes.

Nope, they are both 30mm wide at the toe but have different lengths. Heels are completely different. https://skimo.co/tech-binding-hole-patterns

Plum has some versions that do. They also have adjustable heel plates that drops their race heels straight into Radical holes.

Thank you, gentlemen.

You're thinking of the 14mm Kreuzspitze plates https://skimo.co/kreuzspitze-adjustment-plates they are compatible with Plum heels. There are no Plum or ATK toe pieces that exactly match the Radical pattern.

Plum Guide toes do, no? Guide heels do for sure. Then they have this plate for R170 heels, I have them myself and can confirm they fit Rad heel pattern. http://www.fixation-plum.com/en/acce...wide-rail.html

[waxoff]

^^The Description section for that plate indicates that also Wepa and Pica heels share the Guide/Rad pattern. Dunno about the toes though.

Edit: yeah, right, Guide toes are same as Vertical four main holes. Meaning the two rear holes from Rad toe mount can be reused

Checking over my gear this morning and a wing on one of my AL09 spacers was missing. No idea how I missed it. If anyone has a single space so I don’t have to buy a set I would be interested. Thanks.


Edit: I do see that I can buy a single

[BeHuWe]

I know it’s spendy, but there are ATK/Hagen/BD(other tech binding compatible aswell) jigs available on Hagen right now.

This is super welcome, the only thing that let me down on the Haute Route is the kinda weird riser shape. The free raider riser style on the lighter binding will be amazing!

I have a question about heel elastic travel in ATK bindings: I've skied the R12 for 3 years now (12mm heel travel) - does it ski (not release) noticeably different than a Haute Route (0mm elastic heel travel)? E.g. much harsher/more feedback? Or is this something you barely notice?

Thank you! Missed this and was about to pull trigger on current/last year version. Will be stoked with the extra riser for small weight penalty.

Maybe a long shot, but does anyone have an atk jig in the front range or central mountains i could borrow for a mount? Happy to pay or bring some beer as tribute

I'm in Golden and have the DIY Jig with ATK templates. You're welcome to come by and install sometime. I have drill bits too.

One of the heel pieces in my ~5 day old R13 Evo wasn't transitioning out of walk mode. finally got around to inspecting it, the catch that holds the brakes down is permanently stuck in the walk position, doesn't matter how the heel piece is rotated. anyone experience this/know of a fix? you can see in the picture that my pins are forward

Real late to the response here, but I think they ski pretty similarly. In my experience the Freeride Spacer is the most important part of the equation. I've spent a bunch of time on Haute Route, and Freeraider heels, both with and without the spacer, and in a blind test I'm pretty sure I'd immediately notice the spacer, but not the elastic travel.

That’s nice. Would have liked that on my Kuluars.
