Dynafit Ridge Binding 26/27

The Ridge is Dynafit's binding for best handling and strong performance on ambitious tours, developed for extremely powerful downhills and energy-saving climbs. It weighs 410 g, is made in Europe and is built for authentic skimo and free touring enthusiasts who care about every detail.

The Easy Turn Tech heel, Step-In Side Towers, Step-In Guide and Easy Entry Surface make it quick to get in and switch modes, and the Speed Step climbing aid and Lock and Unlock with Pole let you manage risers and the toe without bending down. The trade-off of a light pin binding is that it is built for touring efficiency rather than lift-served abuse.

It is for touring skiers who want a light binding that still delivers power on the descent. Optimized power transmission, forward pressure and Fully Adjustable Release (FAR) keep it confident, while Ice Breaker pins and toe piece clear snow and ice.

The Easy Lock Brake System handles brakes, and the Quick-In crampon slot accepts ski crampons. We mount and adjust bindings at the shop.

We think the Ridge is one of the best all-round touring bindings going, smooth, light and a pleasure at every transition.
