ATK Trofeo Binding
Historically, race binding selection was based on an individual's needed release value and not much else. So even though the metallic hue of that one binding was calling your name, too bad! At least until now, that is. With the Trofeo, ATK has made the same great, race binding but with the option to choose between release values of 4,6,8, and 10. Now, everyone can enjoy the smooth, reliable action definitive of an ATK toepiece. For all but the biggest racers that need very high release values, the Trofeo has your back (feet?) in the quest for podium glory.
- Made of Alu 7075, Stainless Steel, and POM for a quality, durable build.
- Release value options of 4, 6, 8, or 10 for your retaining pleasure.
- Easy Entry System makes entry into the toe piece a breeze.
- Simple heel flap covers the pins to fly uphill.
- Solid steel heel pins will last you a long time.
- Optional adjustment plates for use with multiple boots.
- Optional crampon receptor will help you climb ice.
- Can accommodate an optional ski race brake.

I’ve had a pair of these under BD rebranding for two seasons now on an 87mm ski w/ Alien 3.0 boots. All my other setups have Dynafit and Plum race bindings, but ATK is now my new favorite, as everything is just so basic yet nicely refined: toe lever operates smoothly, ski crampon slot is easy to attach and has just the right tolerances for crampons, additional riser height is clever and effective (albeit not much higher), and the steel pins avoid wear yet have only a trivial weight penalty compared to the very lightest race models.

Agree. I use the Trofeos for touring only. The Trofeos are the easiest tech bindings to enter I've used.
Risers are so archaic! Who needs them? With the range of motion of modern AT boots, risers are pointless. Do you wear high heels when hiking uphill on steep trails? Should you? No. That's why you have ankle joints.

I was so reluctant at first to switch over to race bindings for regular touring -- how would I cope without a far higher riser position?
Answer is, ehh, no big deal.
But every now & then a little bit extra can help, so the Trofeo 180-degree is a nice plus for those rare occasions, yet with zero weight penalty or other complications.
Otherwise, definitely amusing to pass tourers on regular gear who are constantly switching back & forth between various too-high riser positions...

I am very pleased with my binding. I am not sure about the stated 3 heights of possible walk modus ɓAs i see ther are 4 possible walk heights
We have:
1: flat
2: the pins in front Position with flap
3: the Pins in the back with a lower Position without the flap
4. Higher Position with flap in front
Is this correct?

Position #3 is physically possible. But the binding might not be designed to have the boot heel repeatedly coming down on this part of the binding. And heel elevator height from that position is barely any different from #2.
