Look+ Marker- Tyrolia?

[Grizz]

I'm looking at the Fischer badged X17 Tyrolia binding for a pair of new fats. Did the search and I couldn't find any info about this binding and little about Tyrolia in general.

My last pair of Tyrolias were thrown out somtime in the 80's, after the cheap plastic heelcup cracked in half.

Thoughts on the X17?

looks like the newest vintage (that one) are working well.

still doesn;t have the track record of the looks salomon

BB loves them. it is out there in tech talk.

Have you found the X17 for sale anywhere??

All I could find is the X14, which I will be rocking this year. Seems same as Tyrolia Mojo with stealth black coloring (and one less DIN#).

here's one:

got a couple of days on the Mojo 15 which has been great so far. I was worried that the twisting heelpeice would lead to slop in the binding but from what I can tell the thing is rock solid.

i can comment on a tyrolia binding:
i have the LD14 RailFlex and i LOVE them. bit of an ugly binding, but functionally surperb.

Hah, thanks guys. The X17's are great bindings -- no bullshit lifter gimmicks, just good solid thunk click-in. Wide brakes accomodate 110mm without bending. Only real problem is there is no toe height adjustment, which can affect release values if you're using beat-up Salomon boots without replaceable soles. Which is why you should buy the new Fischer MX9 boot.

How's that?

I'm waiting for the Matt Niederhauser signature model.
