WTB Touring Bindings

**skier2265** · 10-07-2020, 12:31 PM

I'm looking for some tech bindings for a first touring setup. Hopefully $250 or lower depending on the model and condition. Brakes or no brakes, slight preference towards lighter tech bindings but will consider all. I'm planning to mount them on a pair of Zero G 95s that I'm picking up this week. Thanks!

Dynafit speed turn 2.0 can be had for about $250 new from time to time. Save your receipt and take advantage of the 10 year warranty.

The pair on my 185 0g 95s has seen hundreds of days. Has been a nice reliable binding.

Ah yeah I'll look out! Definitely a good deal at that price, esp with that warranty

Speed turns are running at about $288 shipped from Snowinn

Thanks for the replies.
I See Black Diamonds: thanks but I think I'd prefer a complete set and a binding with some heel adjustment for multiple boots.
tgapp: pm sent
ctsmith: thanks, saw that but hoping to come down a bit cheaper!

Speed Turn currently $257 at backpacking-united.com

I bought a pair for $209 from mammoth gear a few months ago, but that is the cheapest I have ever seen them stateside.

I have a pair of G3 Onyx in basically new condition (mounted once but never skied) with 110mm brakes. They are the most recent model, after some design problems in early versions were fixed. $180 shipped.

The Onyx have some nice features:
-both toe and heel are on adjustment plates so you can adjust for boot size and/or mount point
-you can get extra plates and easily swap the bindings between skis
-feels more solidly connected to ski in downhill mode than most of the lighter tech bindings
-goes from ski to tour mode (and vice versa) without removing boot from binding (most other tech bindings aren't designed to do this)
-same hole pattern as Dynafit TLT/Vertical and many others
-cheap!

and some drawbacks:
-on the heavy side for tech bindings (~700 grams according to interwebz)
-more fiddly than most bindings to get into

The $33 shipping though! And nice find...

TrueNorth, I haven't actually heard of these before. Definitely looking for lighter and a more traditional design though.

Not sure if this is too much but I've got some Kingpin 13s that I could part with for $375
