#2 Stiff 7075-T6 aluminum plates on the Olympic series bindings provide unmatched power transmission for a very precise ride.

#3 The progressive board loading achieved by the Olympic bindings' patented elastomer ring and small circular disc enables true board flex. Our system transmits the rider's movements without causing flat spots in a board's flex pattern.

#4 The patented CATEK True Flex disc is the secret of our bindings' success. Machined from rigid aluminum, this disc is the basis for our Quick Cant and True Flex systems. We've upgraded the disc this season with laser engraved angle marks and machined angle divots.

#5 Machined angle divots ensure easy, repeatable stance set up and 3° stance angle adjustment increments.

#6 The newly designed toe and heel blocks and Olympic plates provide a micro fine 3.3mm "Pozi" size adjusment for optimal boot to binding fit.

#7 Our careful redesign of the plates included contouring the plate perimeter shape to minimize drag if the binding happens contacts the snow in a hard carve.

#8 The last thing you need to worry about is the quality of your bindings. That's why we use high grade stainless steel fasteners and hardware in CATEK bindings. We sweat the details; you reap the rewards.

#9 Rubber blocks embedded in the toe and heel blocks reduce unwanted vibrations and provide extra boot grip.

#10 Olympic series plates are stronger, more durable, and 20 percent lighter than their World Cup series predecessors. That's because we used Finite Element Analysis for the weight reduction pockets that are milled into the plates.

#11 A single central king pin provides a robust plate to disc connection and facilitates quickly moving a single set of bindings between multiple boards.

#12 Our unique CATEK Quick Cant system provides simple, yet infinite and independent cant, toe lift, and heel lift adjustability for a custom, anatomically correct riding stance.
