ATK bindings
YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW STILL THE SAME PASSION
ATK's growth has been amazing in the last years, but the quality is still the same! In their products you can find all the passion and commitment of a land which is traditionally bonded to technology and innovation.
MISSION
"Bindings production is our job, ecxellence is our taget."
The headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located in Fiorano Modenese, in the heart of the famous Italian Motor Valley where innovation, engineering and high quality mechanical products are conceived, integrated, developed and exported everyday all over the world. The know-how and the passion for prime products were the origins on which Giovanni Indulti founded the company in 2007. Thanks to the experience gained from generation to generation combined to a intense teamwork, ATK has reached in a few years a prominent position in the market, standing out for its innovative solutions, high quality, precision and unique lightness of its products.

• CAM RELEASE SYSTEM
The queen of ATK's patented systems! The CAM RELEASE SYSTEM is mounted on the heel piece for step-in and vertical release in the event of a fall. The special CAM profile is pressed against the fixing pins of the heel piece by a preloaded spring: during step-in or release in the event of a fall, the pins are forced to follow the CAM profile, which reacts with a precise release resistance of the pins depending on the release value preset on the hind quarter.
• ROLLING-IN SYSTEM
The "U" springs of ATK's World Cup heel unit are made of titanium, a material with an incredibly low weight but subject to wear due to its softness. Wear results in a considerable loss of performance and safety. The ROLLING-IN SYSTEM is a revolution in this area. Two small bushes made of hardened steel (cross-section 0.4 mm) are fitted to the front part of the "U" springs to protect the titanium against wear.
• ELASTIC RESPONSE SYSTEM
A spring is inserted between the slide of the heel unit and the adjustment screw of the binding. If the ski flexes due to compression or a jump, the distance of 4 mm between the ski boot and the heel unit can reduce to zero. In this case, the heel unit can move backwards thanks to the ELASTIC RESPONSE SYSTEM and return when the load is over.
• SNOW PACK PROOF
A special design of the front jaw prevents deposits of snow, stones or ice under the blocking mechanism of the front jaw.
• UP-HILL HARDNESS VARIATOR
A multi-position selector switch is located between the front lever and the base of the front jaw. When the position of the selector switch is changed, the hardness of the blocking of the front jaw varies as it rises via the contact pressure of the pins.
• MAGNETO HEEL FLAPS
A clever and at the same time simple magnet system guarantees the stabilization and the adjustment of the heel elevation of the heel lift.
• AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM
The first Ski brake for Alpine skiing with automatic activation! When the front jaw is blocked with the front lever for the phase of the ascent, the Ski Brake is automatically returned to the ski and is ready to open again in case of release of the ski boot after a fall or in case of intentional opening of the front jaw.
• EASY ENTRY SYSTEM
An extremely easy, immediate and safe step-in, available for all last generation tech ski boots, even with worn soles.
• MONOLINK TECHNOLOGY 1.0
ATK has selected a new steel alloy from the aerospace industry for the springs, which guarantees an exceptionally high modulus of elasticity. Thanks to this special alloy, ATK has succeeded in eliminating half of the tip's elastic system and introducing a fixed arm called MONOLINK 1.0.
