ATK LONG ADJUSTMENT PLATE Mounting Accessory

The ATK Long Adjustment Plate: A Precise Adjustment Solution for Your Touring Bindings

The ATK Long Adjustment Plate is a technical accessory designed for ski tourers who want to optimize the position of their heel piece or adapt a single ski to two pairs of boots of different sizes. Intended for race and speed touring enthusiasts, this adjustment plate addresses a real need for versatility and equipment preservation. It aligns with the precision engineering inherent in high-performance ski touring bindings.

Heel piece adjustment: precision and versatility for optimal setup

The primary function of the Long Adjustment Plate is to allow for fine repositioning of the heel piece along the ski. With an adjustment range of up to 30 mm, it offers sufficient leeway to adapt the binding to different boot sizes without having to drill new holes in the ski. This ability to accommodate two distinct boot configurations on a single ski is a tangible advantage for ski tourers who share their gear or who want to upgrade their equipment without changing their pair of skis.

Ski Protection: Structural Reinforcement During Reassembly

Beyond its adjustment flexibility, the Long Adjustment Plate plays an important structural role. By creating a bridge over the old binding holes, it prevents the ski from weakening after a reinstallation. This reinforcing function is particularly important when a heel piece needs to be repositioned after the initial installation—a common situation in competition or when changing boots mid-season. The plate thus ensures the ski’s longevity while maintaining the mechanical integrity of the entire binding assembly.

Compatibility: A plate designed for racing and speed touring bindings

The R17 version—the model number for this product—is specifically sized for ATK racing bindings equipped with a ski brake. Its greater width compared to the R01 version allows it to accommodate these bulkier configurations. The plate is sold in pairs, ensuring symmetrical and consistent mounting on both skis. It is intended exclusively for race and speed touring binding systems, in accordance with the technical requirements specific to these demanding disciplines.

Weight and Size: An Accessory That Doesn’t Weigh Down the Setup

In a field where every gram counts, the Long Adjustment Plate maintains a discreet profile. The R01 version weighs approximately 36 g including screws, reflecting a design intended not to unnecessarily add weight to the setup. The addition of 5.5 mm in height under the heel due to the plate is a factor to consider when evaluating the overall binding geometry, particularly for skiers who are mindful of the total stack height of their equipment.

The ATK Long Adjustment Plate is intended for serious ski tourers, racers, or speed touring enthusiasts who are looking for a reliable solution to precisely reposition their heel piece or to reinforce the structure of a ski that has already been mounted. It is a benchmark technical accessory for maintaining the long-term performance and durability of high-end binding equipment.
