The ATK Newmark Freelock Heel is an add-on heel unit for the ATK Newmark Lite telemark binding. It mounts behind the Newmark Lite in place of the standard heel pad and adds a locked-heel, full-pin mode to a free-heel telemark setup. It is sold as a pair, and each heel unit weighs 160g.
On the climb, the heel pins retract so the boot moves freely, and an integrated heel riser helps when the skin track gets steep. With the NTN module engaged you get an authentic telemark turn, and when you want more stability or a different approach, a simple motion engages the heel pins and turns the binding into a full pin setup.
An integrated 30mm adjustment plate in the heel accommodates a wide range of boot sole lengths, so changing boots is quick and straightforward without remounting. It is built from 7075 aluminum, stainless steel and POM.
It works with NTN touring boots that have a rear tech fitting, which the heel pins need to engage. That makes it a great match for telemark skiers who already tour in NTN boots with tech inserts.
For anyone on the Newmark Lite who wants one setup for telemark turns and locked-heel skiing, the Freelock Heel is an awesome way to get more out of the binding you already have.
