The
CATEK Olympic series plate bindings set the new standard for performance, versatility,
and ease of use. The Olympic series is available with our Standard bail closure
system as well as with an INTEC compatible step-in system.
We have refined our patented mounting disc to be more durable and easier to
use. The binding plate, toe and heel blocks have been totally redesigned to
provide greater strength and a more robust interface.
Cornerstone CATEK Olympic features:
Rigid aluminum construction for incredible
power transfer
Our patented Quick Cant tilt system provides
unmatched anatomical cant and lift adjustment options
Patented CATEK True Flex disc
4x4 and 3-hole insert compatibility
Our
Olympic Standard bail closure binding employs
the cornerstone CATEK features to offer incredible power and unprecedented customization
options.
The Olympic Standard is compatible with DIN sole ski boots as well as snowboard
specific hard boots. Long and short plate versions are available for a custom
fit, and the CATEK True Flex disc provides versatile stance options for both
4x4 and 3-hole insert patterns.
Unique features:
Beefy 1/4" diameter stainless steel
bails
Rubber grip-vibration pads under the boot
toe and heel
Strong aluminum toe lever with tension adjustment
screw
Easy entry, foldable heel bail design
Stainless steel fasteners throughout
Racers
and freecarvers alike requested that CATEK make a step-in version of our Standard
binding, so we integrated the Austrian-developed INTEC step-in system with our
proven CATEK platform to produce the Olympic Step-In
binding. The result is superior performance and step in convenience.
The Olympic Step-In can be used with any INTEC-compatible snowboard specific
hard boots. Note: The INTEC heel mechanism (available separately) must be installed
on your boots.
Unique features:
Hard coat anodizing on the aluminum INTEC
heel block
Easy entry, snug fitting stainless steel
toe bail
Rubber grip-vibration pads under the boot

We
carefully engineer CATEK Olympic plates to provide the optimal balance of longitudinal
stiffness, torsional flex, and weight. Using the latest Finite Element Analysis
software, we matched the mechanical properties of the Olympic plates to the
performance characteristics of previous CATEK products with an approximate
20% reduction in weight!
The Long Plate accepts all boot sizes, and
its 1/2" thickness provides the most powerful ride on the market. Riders
weighing more than 180lbs or with a boot size greater than 10US must use the
long plate.
Features:
- machined 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum, with anodized
finish and laser engraving
- boot size micro adjustment
- Quick Cant tilt system
- Perimeter contouring minimizes drag

The Short Plate is ideal for smaller boot
sizes (<10US) and lighter (<180lbs) riders. The 3/8" thickness provides
a more forgiving ride than the long plate.
