R01 - 30mm Heel - Heel adjustment plate with "30mm" of adjustment range. Compatible with all ATK race heels, noting the range is more like 25mm for these. Also compatible with Ski Trab Gara Titan, La Sportiva RSR, and other Hagan/BD race heels. With bolts it weighs just 36g (1.3oz). Adds 5.5mm of heel stack. Stock Note: If these are out, the Trab Race plates also work.
R04 - Rental Adjustment - Long 60mm plate with a quick-adjust bolt positioning mechanism and some elastic travel. Fits ATK race heels. Weighs 85g (3oz) and raises your heels by 9.5mm
R06 - Ski Saver for Speed Radical Heels - Heel adjustment plate with 25mm of range. Compatible with all ATK race heels. The plate's mounting pattern is the Dynafit Speed Radical/Radical 1.0 heel pattern (32/36mm wide x 52.5mm long). Perfect for if you want to save weight from a Dynafit Speed Radical pattern binding to a race-style binding but don't want to drill any new holes in your skis. Comes in at just 40g (1.4oz). Adds 7.6mm of heel stack.
R07 - Ski Savers for ATK Race Heels - Heel adjustment plate that mounts into existing ATK race heel holes, allowing the race heel to be shifted forward or backward by 7.5mm (15mm total range) to accommodate a new boot that is similar in BSL. Easy to adjust with only two screws. Weighs just 40g (1.4oz). Adds 7.75mm of heel stack.
R08A - XXL Toe Adjustment Plate - Wider version of the R13 adjustment plate offering better torsional stability due to the larger contact area. Fits the standard ATK toe pattern (30mm wide x 27mm long). Offers three mounting positions: +13.5mm, 0mm, and -13.5mm. Could be useful when remounting skis over existing holes due to the wider mounting pattern of the plate. With screws it weighs 52g or 1.8oz. Raises your toes by 5.5mm.
R13 - Standard Toe Adjustment Plate - Adjustable toe plate for standard ATK toes (30mm wide x 27mm long). Offers three mounting positions: +13.5mm, 0mm, and -13.5mm. Nice if you either want to experiment with mounting locations or need to dodge holes due to a remount. With screws it comes in at 38g (1.3oz). Raises your toes by 6.45mm.
R16A - Free Touring Toe Plate - Adjustable toe plate for any ATK freeride toe (Hagan Core, ATK Raider 12, etc...) Three options: +13.5mm, 0mm, and -13.5mm. A good option if you don't know where you want to be mounted, need to dodge some toe holes, or have a large range of boot sizes to accommodate. With screws it weighs 58g or 2oz. Adds 5mm under your toes.
R17 - 30mm Heel - A wider adjustment plate purposefully designed for ATK's braked race bindings. Weighs 45g with screws.
Is my understanding correct that the R01 heel plate will work with Black Diamond Helio 200LT bindings? Pretty sure it's the BD version of the Haute Route binding. Also, all of the necessary screws come with the plate?
Can you please state what the mounting patterns is for the R16A. I mean the pattern for mounting to the skis. Trying to figure out whether these will safely mount to my Ripstick 104 Tours (advice on that would be welcome too!).
So... how are these R16A adjustment plate actually supposed to work? The adjustment range is 27 mm, but the adjustment range on the ATK Evo binding and equivalents is 25 mm. Are you supposed to squeeze an extra mm out of the heel-piece adjustment? Even if that's ok, the tolerances for the mounting distance between heel and toe are very low. What am I missing here?
Hi Eric, the plate is a multi-use design, not specifically a mount-shift plate. It allows quite a range of boot sizes while also letting you change toe-mount location to some degree.
Which plate do you recommend for my Backland 100’s? (Thanks for the good advice and great skis, btw!). XXL or Standard toe plate? Skis just have holes from mounting the Crest bindings.
Is it okay to have a toe adjustment plate (thereby increasing the height of the toe piece) and not have a heel adjustment plate? Will the binding still perform? If so, what tradeoffs would exist given that one's toes would be 5 mm higher than the heel?
With no heel adjustment plate, the binding would perform fine, but because toe adjustment plates are only adjustable at certain increments, you'd need to have a boot with a very specific BSL to get any use out of the plate. Otherwise, it's basically a toe shim. Raising the toe could help negate your delta angle, but you could also just use a normal toe shim like the ones B&D makes.
I'd like to use the toe mounting plate to create a touring setup that can be used by folks with different BSLs. The only thing that concerns me is that changing the mounting position again and again could possibly result in a mechanical failure (e.g, the screws holding the top piece to the mounting plate would rip out). i certainly would hate to be on a tour and have the toe piece rip out! is this mounting plate manufactured with the idea that it can screwed/unscrewed again and again?
Hi Benjamin, yes that is no problem. The holes are nicely tapped to easily accept screws in and out. If you're careful not to cross-thread it should last a long while.
Hi, do you know if R16A plate will work with toe pieces of the new ATK RAIDER 11/13 EVO 2023 bindings ( the toes which have release adjustment system)?
Highly recommend. Minor weight penalty, great boot adjustment and makes for a less stressful mounting. Only downside for some is the 5mm rise in heal height.

Question from
John Bell
Howdy, will an R16A allow my toe piece to be removed and replaced multiple times? I.E. If I mount that to two pairs of skis can I share toe pieces between them? Already have demo plates on the rear and can swap my heal piece, specifically curious about the Trofeo, I want to try it on a few models of skis, but don't want to buy 3 sets of bindings upfront. Know I'll buy ATK regardless, so not upset buying these plates upfront.
Hi Rolla, the rental race plate will fit the Revolution, SL, Trofeo, Haute Route, and some rebranded bindings such as the Helio 145 and Hagan Ultra. It does not work with touring brakes or Raiders which have built-in adjustment.
Does the r13 work for the c raider and what is the height of the r13. Are all the toe adjustment plates the same height or is one taller? Trying to fight ATKs obsession with high heels
The R13 doesn't work for the C-Raider, or the Raider for that matter. You could get a Raider toe shim, which will work with the C-raider with some slight modifications.

Do the R13 toe adjustment plates work for the helio 200 toes?
The Black Diamond Helio 200 has the standard ATK toe pattern (30x27), which means that it will work with the R13 - Standard Toe X2 from the drop down above!
What is the thickness of these plates (specifically, the R16A for a pair of c-raider 12s)? And is it a safe assumption that they will change the heal:toe delta by that same amount?
Thanks for the question! The R16A plate is 5mm thick. You are correct, this will change the delta by that amount as the binding will sit flush on the plate as it does on the topsheet.

Thinking of picking up a pair of used skis that have ATK evo bindings mounted for a size 30 Dynafit PDG boot (313mm BSL). I have size 28 of the same boot (293mm BSL). Any insight on which adjustment plate I might need to set them correctly for my boots? Would it just be the heel I'd need to move?
