It's hard to argue with stronger and lighter! ATK placed itself front and center in the eyes of the ski mountaineering crowd with a knockout ski crampon made with a robust, lightweight alloy. Designed by Batman himself, these sinister-looking crampons inspire confidence in steep terrain. Available in several widths, most ATK crampons have a deep bite. The exception is the 70mm race crampon, which is shallower and has extra cutouts to save weight. All the crampons are sold in pairs and come with a carrying pouch. They are compatible with most Dynafit-style toe pieces, but notably not Plum bindings.
Stock Note: If the size you're looking for is out of stock, check out the Trab crampons which are the same thing.

* Please note that ATK ski crampons are exactly the width specified so measure your ski where the crampon will sit and make sure to order a higher number.
They'd be tight if they worked - I'd measure the width of the ski at the back of the toe piece, if it's less that 86mm go for it. Or, easier, Dynafit makes a 90mm crampon found here that's compatible.
Light weight, sturdy, and slide in easier than other brands. The 75mm crampons have deeper bite than I want for my Race Pro 71s so I might grind down the rear teeth a bit. I tried Dynafit Speed crampons and they had too little bite.

Just got a pair of LaMachines Micros yesterday. (After one day I absolutely love them!!!) Was able to stay on my feet on the flagstaff skinner today but the tension and pucker factor was pretty strong without skipons. The drop down menu shows a 91mm width but the table shows 97mm as the closest.
Question A: is it 91mm or 97mm ? Question B: could you guys do me a solid and check which one fits best on the micros? Question C: would the skitrap ones be lighter
We do have a 91mm crampon - sorry about that! I just checked the fit. You will want the 97mm, the 91mm is just slightly too small. It could work, but it will rub. A couple millimeters extra on either side isn't the end of the world.
The Trab crampons are basically identical to the ATKs, they are just rebranded ATK crampons. So go with either, but the weight and performance will be the same.

What size should I go with for a ripstick 104?
I see that the 102 measures a true 102, but will a 108 be to wide?

Hi Scott, the 102mm will be too narrow, go for the 108mm. Just a few millimeters on each side, it'll work well.

Just to confirm, will these work with the Moment Voyager XV bindings (manufactured by ATK)?
You should be good with the 102mm width. If in doubt, you can measure the ski where the crampon will sit in order to confirm. We measure the ATK 102mm crampon at a true 102mm.

Hi! Will the 102 be too big on a pair of Elan Ripstick 94 with ATK Evo Raider 11 bindings? Thanks
Hi Liz, you should get the 97s! The 102s will overhang a bit and still be usable, but it's always best to get them tight to have less torque on the binding.
I use the 91mm ski crampons for 85 waisted skis with ski trab gara titan bindings. These things are plenty light and certainly useful in slick, icy, hardpack conditions. As usual, I don’t take the time to slide them on enough when it would make my skinning life easier, but that’s my problem.
With enough gumption and finesse you can slide these on without taking off your skis. Not super easy but that’s true of most ski crampons. It can be a bit challenging to find when the crampon is centered and will pivot downward to the snow. Just gotta be patient and keep sliding back and forth a bit to find the sweet spot.

Hello!
This may be an ill-advised question, but just want to be certain....
I ski the 102mm underfoot Black Crows Navis Freebird w/ ATK Raider 13 binding. Using a tape measure, I actually measure the width as 100mm at the base of the binding (and measuring the base of the ski vs. the topsheet).
Hi Ben! Out of an abundance of caution, I would suggest going with the 108mm crampon. The ~3mm of space produced by the crampon on both sides of the skis won't be any trouble. Thanks!

Gregory Kempers
I got these assuming they'd work in these older superlites, but just can't get them in on my workbench. Considering filing part of the binding to get them to fit. Do I just have the totally wrong crampons? Thanks!
Gregory, yes they are compatible. Funny, the ATK usually slide in easier. The metal receptors are sometimes a bit 'bent' or otherwise too tight. Try bending the clip open a bit first.
Are these compatible with Dynafit Speed Radical bindings? What width would you recommend for my 2021 DPS Wailer A100s? Would 102mm be too tight? I measure the ski base width at the waist at 101mm.
These should work, but I'd measure the exact width of the ski at the toe piece to be sure. You could also get the 91mm Hagan ski crampons, which are compatible.
I have faction agent 2.0 (suppose the ski is 96 mm under the foot), I measured the waist around the crampon slot about 96.5 mm, just wondering the 97 ATK crampon will fit or have to go with Dynafit 100mm ?
Liming, The 97 mm ATK will comfortably fit a 97mm ski. So it should work fine.

Question from
Curt Pollock
I have some ASNES Combat Nato skis (84 62 74) and I need a ski crampon to use with that ski. I plan to put an older model Plum tech toe on that ski. The Dynafit ski crampons work but the narrowest Dynafit ski crampon is 80mm. Would the ATK ski crampon work and would you recommend the 70mm race or 75mm standard ski crampon? Will the difference in width pose a problem? Is there a better solution for a ski crampon for such a narrow ski? I haven't mounted bindings yet so I have some flexibility. It just has to be a tech toe. Curt
Curt, Generally it is best to go with the narrowest crampon, to minimize side to side deflection. With such a narrow ski, the 75mm should not be a problem. Doesn't look like the 70mm is available currently.

With the atomic backland 100 skis and ATK crest 10 bindings would the 102 mm ATK ski crampón work with this setup?
4/8/2023
Answer from
Gabriel I
Hi Cody, the 102mm should be a nice snug fit on your Backland 100's. But the best bet is to measure your ski right where the crampon will sit. Unlike binding brakes, ski crampons don't have any play in the width, so they must measure wider than the ski.

Question from
David
Do you guys sell anything that works as a spacer between the crampon and the bottom of the boot, so that when the risers are up, the boot can still push the crampon down, and the crampon still gets good penetration into the snow/ice?
We don't sell a product for this, but for a creative solution to get full "bite" when using tall riser settings, some folks have opted to use the two holes in the top to use bolts or cord to secure a section of PVC pipe, block of wood, or maybe part of a plastic cutting board!
If your skis measure 100mm at the waist, the 102mm wide ski crampons should fit no problem. ATK ski crampons measure exactly at their listed width.
You can check your skis with a mm measuring tape if you are unsure. Just make sure to measure at the area you expect the ski crampon to sit on your ski. Also, measure on the base of your ski, as the top sheet can often be slightly narrower.

Benno
Hi, I have a pair of atomic backland 85 ul would you recommend the 86 or 91 width ski crampons? Thanks
Hi Mark, it's best to measure your ski right behind your toe piece where the crampon will sit. There is no wiggle room on these crampons, and they are not amenable to bending. If it's really close, it might come down to how well your toe piece is centered on the ski.
