Buying guide for Dynafit ski touring bindings:
With its unique experience in low-tech bindings since the 80s, Dynafit offers us several types of bindings handmade in Germany. Since 2015, some Dynafit bindings even meet a new TUV standard that guarantees active release of the boot for safety equivalent to an alpine ski binding in case of a fall in descent mode. This technical expertise allows the brand to offer the 'Lifetime Guarantee': a 10-year warranty on all material and manufacturing defects.
Dynafit Lowtech bindings
As safe as they are versatile, the classic Dynafit bindings allow you to discover ski touring without any worries. Their weight remains reasonable (560 grams for example for a Blacklight without brakes), their features effective and their Din setting ranges from 5 to 12. They ensure good stability on the descent and easily adapt to all ski touring boots thanks to a large longitudinal adjustment range.
Dynafit Speed Turn, Radical and St Rotation bindings: heirs of the TLT Speed
The Speed Turn model is a reliable, lightweight and affordable model. A true best seller of the brand, this ski touring binding is aimed at a wide audience of versatile ski tourers. Taking the DNA and expertise of the former TLT Speed from Dynafit. It is lightweight at only 700 grams per pair and simpler than its big sister the Speed Radical. While the latter allows easy management of the heel lifts with the tip of the pole, it is different with the Speed Turn which requires bending down to handle the lifts. The Radical binding also has additional lateral guides that make stepping in easier. The St Rotation also benefits from a boot centring system to facilitate stepping in.
Ultralight Dynafit ski touring bindings
282 grams per pair: that's what the Low Tech Race binding promises you. With such lightweight equipment mounted on suitable skis, you feel like you're flying up the climbs like never before. It's the ideal type of binding for competitors and time trial enthusiasts looking for the best ski touring equipment.
Many models with ski brakes
Dynafit offers several models fitted with ski brakes. No need to connect your ski boots to your bindings with a leash, the ski brake prevents your skis from sliding down the slope in the event of a fall with binding release.
How to choose the right size of ski brake?
For bindings with a ski brake, you need to ensure you choose a version with a brake wide enough for your skis. The width of the ski brake should be slightly wider than the width of the ski at the waist, without being too wide.
What are the possible adjustments of a Dynafit binding?
Most Dynafit bindings can be adjusted in two ways: the longitudinal adjustment and the Din setting.
The longitudinal adjustment allows the binding to be adapted to the size of the boot. Note that this adjustment is much more limited than for a alpine ski binding. For example, the Speed Turn can only be adjusted by 12.5 mm. Therefore, you need to carefully consider the boot you will use before mounting the binding on the ski. The same applies when buying second-hand touring skis, special attention must be paid to the previous owner's boot size to avoid having to remove the binding and remount it in the correct position.
The Din setting corresponds to the release value of the touring binding in the event of a fall on the descent. The higher the Din value, the more effort is required for the release to occur. To find the Din value that suits you, you can refer to the Afnor FD S 52-748 standard.
Which Dynafit ski touring binding to choose?
To make the right choice, you must first identify your skiing style and your skill level. If you are a beginner, you can opt for a versatile Dynafit binding like the Speed Turn or the Speed Radical. If you are looking for absolute safety in terms of boot release, you might prefer the Dynafit St Rotation bindings certified by TUV. And if for you, ski touring is all about competition and ultra-fast climbs and you have the skills, you can try the Low Tech Race or the Superlite 175.
Mounting: how to install and adjust Dynafit bindings on touring skis?
The mounting stage of a binding on a touring ski is a delicate operation reserved for experienced enthusiasts. It involves positioning the rear piece in the right place, then the toe piece, and drilling the ski to a specific diameter and depth. You then need to screw/glue the two bindings in the designated location. At Glisshop, this operation is carried out rigorously using drilling templates and specific equipment. It is therefore better to call on a professional to obtain a well-centred ski touring binding correctly anchored in the ski.
Once you have chosen your binding, don't forget to complete your equipment with Dynafit crampons suitable for the width of your ski, which you should carry in your backpack during any backcountry outing.
