ATK Touring Ski Brakes
It is a common occurrence to see race bindings adorning skis from all categories. The reason for this is simple; race bindings are simple, durable, and tour extremely well. Seeing this, ATK has produced the Touring Ski Brake, which allows you to have the simplicity of a race binding and security of a ski brake on a ski that is wider than typical race dimensions. The internal brake mechanism is easy to use and resilient to snow buildup, providing for reliable operation in the field. The 25mm of BSL adjustment accommodates many different sizes of boots and is constructed with metal for exceptional durability. If you have wanted to use a race binding with brakes on wider skis, the Touring Ski Brake from ATK is for you.
- 25mm of BSL will accommodate your quiver of boots.
- Internal brake mechanism resists snow buildup, allowing you to use these on a powder day without worry.
- Durable metal construction of the adjustment plate ensures these are built to last.
- Compatible with Trofeo and other bindings that have a similar hole pattern.
- Each individual brake weighs approximately 99g.
Questions & Reviews
I bought a used pair of Salomon skis with a Ski Trab Gara Titan on them.
Now I want/need to change two things:
1. Add a brake
2. Add an adjustment plate so they fit my sole length
Through your awesome blog I found that the hole pattern of the Gara matches the ATK this brake is made for, but: Will it work with the Gara? I'm a bit concerned with proper functioning of the brake.
Thank you so much!
Yes, this brake will work! The Touring Ski Brake is essentially an adjustment plate with an independent brake connected to it. The brake is operated via a button/plunger, and does not rely on whatever binding is installed to function.
Now for my question. Can I remove the 3+ small screws on the brake and swap brake sizes without having to remount with one of the other brake/plate, say, in 86mm?
Yep, the brakes can be very easily removed without remounting.
I have some old Race RT binding with no ski breaks. Is it possible in some way to fit this on the R01 plate? I assume the mounting pattern to the ski is not the same as the R01? Don't really want to make new holes in the skies.
Also, which width brake do you recommend for a 106 waist (Salomon QST)?
I would recommend the 108mm brake.
Thanks!
Plate-to-binding, yes, this plate is made for race bindings just like the R01 plate. It will accommodate ATK race heels, and other heels that use the same 25mm wide heel pattern. You can find a complete table of binding hole patterns here.
