best tele binding of all time. If only the boots wouldn't break.

Call it what you want - it's better now than it ever was.
the skiing or the flaming?

Hey, at least free heel skiing has progressed; the flaming, not so much.
The most simple tele binding I liked was either the hardwire or R8. The heaviest tele binding I've liked is Bombers. The most features and skiing...NTN. The biggest bummer because I've had to replace a couple...NTN. The old pick 2 of light, cheap, and durable. If I only tele'd inbounds, Bishops. If I only tele'd out, whatever freepivot version of R8s but I'd probably like to try out 01s and Axles. Because my boots are so comfy and use Dynafits occasionally, NTNs and spend most of my time on alpine bindings.
I like NTN but as far as light, cheap and durable you can't pick any.
R8 LIGHT CHEAP DURABLE ACTIVE NO FUSS. THE BEST EVAR AND I'M STICKIN TO IT.

I have been teleing for 20 years now. I had a pair of those chilis and they blew out and totally busted. I dont like them. I skied the old superloops for awhile but they are a pain in the ass as well.
The best tele binding I have ever skied is the 22 Designs Tele Bulldog. Light, step in's and they have never failed me. Ive been on the same pair for the last 8 years.

I dont think they make them anymore, but I love them.
It's now the Lite Spike and sold by the original designer:

I agree. R8's are great and pretty bomb proof. Only weakness they had in my quiver were driving my sumos. So.. I picked up the hammerheads 4 years ago, and use those for most everything. WOW. responsive and bombproof! The R8's are still my go to for touring though.
Like others already said, pitbulls. I aquired a set last season, mounted them on some long race skis I had. I took one run on them and put them back in the car for the day. Ripped the binders off at home and listed them on ebay that night. Such a poor performing binding, and prone to spectacular failure. Good Riddance!
