ATK Trofeo Plus 25/26

The ATK Trofeo Plus is a race-bred ski touring binding at just 145 g per binding. The Plus version adds a full speed touring kit: a Kevlar strap, a removable climbing aid, and an adjustable plate that accommodates up to 30 mm of boot sole change without re-drilling. It is built from aluminum and stainless steel, uses an Easy Entry System with toe geometry adapted for worn boot soles, and Monolink Technology 1.0 saves weight with a fixed front binding arm. A crampon slot is included, and forward release security is equal to lateral release.

The trade-off is that this is a minimalist, weight-first binding designed primarily for competition. It gives up the extra features and mass of a freeride touring binding to go fast uphill.

It suits skimo racers and speed tourers who count grams and want a race binding set up for long, fast days.

Fit comes down to boot sole length, and the adjustable plate gives up to 30 mm of range so the binding can follow a boot change without new holes.

We think the Trofeo Plus is a fantastic binding for anyone who loves moving fast in the mountains. It is light, clever, and built to fly.
