The Dynafit TLT Speed Radical is a dedicated ski tourist's binding. It is aimed at skiers who either have 2 pairs of skis, one for the piste and one for touring or for those to whom piste skiing is a chore rather than a pleasure.

New for Winter 2011, Dynafit release a 'Radical' version of each of their bindings. All the new Radical models share the same improvements. The one with the greatest impact will be the flip height adjusters which mean you now only have to turn the heel piece once when entering touring mode and not to adjust heel lifter. Second is the new 'step in' feature. To enter the binding you now must push your foot in straight and level (no using the rolling method) but your boot is now stopped in the correct position by 2 new towers on the toe piece and then when you push down your boot will be in just the right place. lastly all the plastic has been removed from the toe piece base plate, which is now aluminium. Further down the page you will find a Dynafit video covering all these changes.

The TLT Speed is Dynafit's purist binding. It is strong, functional but minimalist. There are no ski brakes available so the bindings must be used with leashes. Ski crampons are available as an optional extra. The binding relies on the rigidity of the boot when in touring mode so there is no metal bar linking the front and rear heel piece. This makes for a much lighter weight binding. The pinch pin front offers compromised security over a fully automatic step in binding like a Diamir or standard alpine binding. The rear release is pretty good but there is no sideways toe release.

Personally I have gone for the 'one ski and binding for everything' set up and I use Dynafit bindings but maybe not the best option for the first time or occasional tourer, but the new 'Radical' improvements have made Dynafits a lot less fiddly.(please see alternatives below).

Dynafit Boot Compatibility

Dynafit bindings require the use of special ski boots which have inserts in the side and rear to accept the pins from the binding. Unlike automatic step in bindings, we need to have your boot to mount the binding, rather than just it's length, so you will need to send us a boot shell which will be returned with your skis and bindings. We can pick the boot up from you, just give us a call. Determine if your boot is compatible.
