Mounting these plates between Dynafit race bindings and your skis will give you some fore/aft adjustment. This allows you to use different boots with the same skis, adding to their useful life and increasing the resale value of your rig. The Dynafit adjustment plates are made with 7075 aluminum, meaning they are light and strong. All plates are sold in pairs.
DNA / Mezzalama Heel (Black or Silver) - Rear adjustment plate appropriate for the DNA & Mezzalama race bindings. Also works with the LTR 105 & 115 as well as the older Low Tech Race 2.0 & PDG bindings. Warning: If ordering for the "Plus" bindings with brakes, please add a note requesting longer screws as the included hardware is not compatible.
Radical / Superlite 2.0 Toe - A larger range and tool-free setup for the Radical series as well as the Superlite 2.0 / 175.
Superlite 2.0 Lite Toe - A lighter weight option to add adjustability to your Superlite 2.0 / 175 toe piece.
Superlite 2.0 / 150 / 175 Heel - Heel track that works with the Superlite 150 or Superlite 175 (AKA Superlite 2.0).

I want to put an adjustment plate on my Speed Superlites that apparently have a ramp angle of about 3mm. and am wondering if I should use a front or a back plate. Would a front plate reduce my ramp angle to 0, and if so how would this affect climbing. Alternately, how much would a back plate increase ramp angle and would it be too much for good downhill performance. Opinions for the overall best setup appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi Ray, the plates are 4mm thick so you'd be at -1.5mm with a front plate, and +6.5 with a rear. I think the skiing is fine at +6.5 but if you want to get to zero you can add 6.4mm classic shims which would do just that.

Question from
Riff (hasn't used product)
Question: does the plate mount on the same pattern as an adjustable heel like a Speed Radical? Can I re-use the holes from my heels for the plates? I have inserts in my skis for the regular pattern and I'm curious if I can bolt up the plates to these, or need to re-drill. I want to upgrade from old FTs, and the Speed Superlight looks great, but I want to match two BSLs. Thanks.
Hi Riff, unfortunately the plates don't share a hole pattern with the Radical heels. Further, being the same length, they would need to be offset fore or aft from your inserts by a safe amount. A couple options for reusing your inserts are: 1) Kreuzspitze 14mm plates with SCTT or Plum 145 heels & 2) Speed Radical or Speed Turn heels.
The plates are wicked! I used them for my race binding mounted on Nanga Parbat skis to keep them light and to accommodate for both my touring and racing boots. Anyways, benefits are pretty self explanatory :)

Will the Dynafit adjustable plates work on the speed radical bindings?
Jeff, these plates are designed for the Low Tech Race and Speed Superlite bindings which don't have any fore/aft adjustment. The Speed Radical bindings have a plate built into the heel piece so these are not needed.
Oh, I will point out the toe piece of the Radical matches the hole pattern on these front plates. If you wanted to have adjustable toe pieces on the Speed Radical or add some lift to reduce your ramp angle, you could use just the front plates.

I was curious if you can use these mounting plates to easily swap your bindings from ski to ski? Like the g3 onyx? Thanks dave

They could definitely be used as "swap" plates. I haven't heard of anyone using it for that purpose, but for the multiple ski racer, it makes sense. The primary use is for demo, with a further benefit of changing boots(bsl) without having to redrill your skis.
Hey Jerimy! Unfortunately the rear adjustment plates are skinnier than the Radical/Vertical/Speed heel pieces so the holes don't line up. They do seem the same length curiously.
I only need to run one plate to cover the range of ski boot bsl's I own, and naturally I don't run it in the front because that would be …. weird. Obviously, I run just the rear plate. So, I automatically get a little shim action, which might increase my ski boots' forward lean by a degree, which I prefer anyway.
As with the La Sportiva plates, my only concern was that the 'arms' might bend out during the torquing applied to tighten the bindings down. No such issue.
The artistry of these plates is lost during a top-side viewing of the product. The bottom side has been hollowed out artfully. Saves weight, creates a thing of beauty for the gram freak. I consider this essential gear for mounting race bindings.
