ATK Trofeo Brake Binding
As per usual in sports, World Cup competitions drive innovation. The Trofeo Brake Bindings allow entry into the race category with an ISMF-approved braking system that doubles as compliance with ski-resort policies. With one heel flap that controls uphill/downhill mode and brake position, this race binding focuses on simplicity and value. As compared to the ATK Revolution WC, the braked Trofeo has a less expensive classic toe design and more durable steel U-springs which will appeal to the common folk. ATK offers two versions based on skier size: standard and lightweight (LT) which approximate release values of 9 and 6 respectively. At a fraction of the weight of most bindings with brakes, the Trofeo Brake will also appeal to those trying to tick ski-resort requirements when uphill training. Made with Aluminium 7075 and stainless steel, the ATK Trofeo Brake and Trofeo Brake Lightweight are built to last in a class all their own.
- ISMF-friendly race binding will future-proof you for years.
- One riser is also the mode switch (no flat mode).
- Selectable lateral and vertical release of 9 or 6 (LT).
- Brakes accommodate up to ~71mm wide skis.
- Optional crampon receptor can be added.

I broke the wire/cable that connects the heel flap to the brake on one binding and the other will break soon. Do you sell replacements and is it an easy repair?

Hi, we do replace those under warranty but sadly do not have any to sell yet. It's a somewhat involved process that our ATK-certified technicians handle.

Sorry I could answer directly below the last replay.
Since the adjustment screws of the R07 are quite asymmetric to one side (left in the pictures on the ATK side). I think they would be outside of the brake footprint. But without the heel in hand I can't check. Maybe you could? If only those small ridges are in the was I think those could be filed down.

Hi Jakob,
I just played with it for a while. In the standard orientation, the heel piece does overlap with the screws, which would be a no-go. However, if you were to unscrew the top slider plate and flip it around, you can line up the heel so that it does not overlap the screws. That said, you would still need to remove material on the sides to make it fit flush. I think this would be pretty difficult to get right with hand tools (i.e. without a milling machine). We do not recommend using the R07 plate with the braked ATK heels. But if you want to buy it and experiment with it yourself, you are of course welcome to do so.

Thanks a lot for trying. The thing is I have a R07 on my race skis and need the adjustment with my current boots. The new race rules require brakes. I would rather not drill them for the R17 plates if I can avoid it.

have you tried mounting the heel on the ATK R07 ("ski saver") plate? The plate has some small ridges on the side of the mount holes. But I think it could be filed down to allow the heel with brakes to be mounted.

Hi Jakob,
We haven't mounted ATK's braked race heels on the R07. As you mentioned, there are ridges on either side that interfere, and also the two screws used for BSL adjustment sit directly under the binding, not sure how you'd safely modify the plate while keeping functionality.

Which DIN do you recommend for somebody who is 5’11” and 170 pounds? R9 seems high but R6 seems low.

Hello Evan
You can calculate the Release value here - Binding value. You need the Boot sole length and other things to calculate.

Will this work with a dynafit black light 74? I know it says up to 71mm, can 3mm of extra clearance be had by bending at all? If not, do you have a lightweight race binding with brake recommendation for the black light 74?
4/4/2023
Hi Keith! Pushing the brake out past 71mm is not recommended and would certainly increase the risk of damage, however, it has likely been done. The Grizzly Olympic Binding would safely accommodate the Black Light 74. Thanks!

Is this compatible with the ATK adjustment plate?

Hi Jeppe, yes, we've mounted this heel on an R01 plate. It works!

What niche does this binding fill? The pre-brake Trofeo was heavier than the SL WC but offered a flat touring mode and an extra riser height. The brake-equipped version of the Trofeo looks like a heavy version of the SL WC. Am I missing something?
12/15/2022
Hi Dane, it's a less expensive binding with a touch more durability owing to the thicker toe piece.

Hey Jon, this brake is integrated into the heel piece of the binding so when you transition from hike to ski the brakes are automatically deployed. This provides the fewest movements for speedy transitions. If speed is not a concern we do have the ATK race brakes and the Black Diamond Helio brakes. They both will require you to manually lock and unlock the brake when transitioning. The only difference between the two is the Black Diamond Helio brakes will have an adjustable track where the ATK race brake does not.
