The Voilé Switchback X2 Telemark Binding is the culmination of over 35 years of telemark innovation. Crafted for aggressive telemark skiers who demand power, efficiency, and reliability, the X2 delivers exceptional downhill performance while maintaining ease and precision during uphill travel.
Inspired by the randonnée world, this binding builds on the legendary success of the original Switchback with a beefier, more active design and optimized power transfer. With features like a lengthened toe plate, relocated pivot point, and stiffer cartridges, the X2 ensures unmatched stability and control, allowing you to tackle the most demanding terrain with confidence.
Effortless transitions are at the core of the X2’s design. A simple flick of your ski pole switches between free-pivot climbing mode and downhill mode, eliminating hassle during challenging ascents or quick terrain changes. The lightweight, minimalist build speaks to Voilé’s Scandinavian-inspired mantra: Less is always more.
