Dynafit TLT Radical St 2.0 Ski Binding

These are commonly known issues with this binding:- The anti-friction plate on one of the heels fell off- Snow builds up under the tow piece, and if you're not careful, when trying to release the toe, you can break the binding.However, I have been pounding the hell out of them, and they've been holding up pretty good.

I went down to South America this past September and skied the Radical ST 2.0 everyday for three weeks. My first impression of the binding was that it was a little beefier than the old Rad. The gold is pretty sweet looking as well. I grew to like all the new features. The heel is easier to deal with and its nice how the brake stays down until you click your heal down. Having elasticity in the toe is definitely the biggest change with the new binding, and is really comforting to have. One difference in clicking in the toe is that you have to have it lined up straight to pull the lever up to tour mode, which is different than the old binding but something you get used to. They tour just like the old Rads. I would say they ski better. I felt pretty confident charging at high speeds and only came out once(i didn't have din turned all the way up and I was charging through extremely variable snow. I wanted to test the limits). Dynafit has definitely made some big strides this year and has made a binding that is safer and skis better than it predecessor.

Nice product
