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.
Does this plate use the same heel piece mounting hole pattern as the RT 8/10/11 Evo (45/25 x 60)? Also when you say there's 25mm BSL adjustment, what binding are you assuming? I'm trying to get a sense of the overall length of the rails, thanks!
Nick, The mounting pattern is different. It is the 45x25mm, but 75mm long. The usable travel length of the rails is 60mm.

Actually the mounting pattern is 45/25x73mm. ATK thankfully provided me with a printable drilling pattern on request - although it's not available in the downloads section of their website. Stack height of the brake is roughly 11mm (10.75mm measured). So when paired with ATK WC Revolution one ends up with the same 11mm pin height delta that many of us are used to from the Raider Evo's or older Dynafit TLT bindings.

Do these come as a pair for $110 or are they sold individually?
Hi, 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.
Are these the brakes I'd want for the ATK Haute Route 10 bindings?

Hi Patrick, yes these brakes would be compatible with the Haute Route 10. Note that the mounting pattern of this plate is different than the plate that comes with that binding, so you'll need to get some new holes drilled in your skis.

Is there a version that wouldn't require new drilling?
I have a few pairs of these brakes in different sizes, and I mounted a pair of 97mm brakes on a pair of 78 waisted skis. It looked like it might work but obviously has quite a bit of overhang.
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.

Hi, 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.
Hi Joeran, the brake from this product is not compatible with other plates like the R01. The mounting pattern is a bit different, you would need to drill 2 new front holes.

Are these brakes compatible with BD Helio 145 bindings?
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.
