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.

Questions & Reviews
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.
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.
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.
You can calculate the Release value here - Binding value. You need the Boot sole length and other things to calculate.
