Ski Trab TR1 ? Better Shift/Tecton/Duke PT/ Kingpin

[singlecross]

Anyone have experience with Ski Trab TR1? I looked around here and elsewhere and haven’t seen much real world info.

The marketing clip…



Seems like an interesting candidate for a travel ski now that the funky heel requirement of the original TR2 has been eliminated. I’m cross shopping with the usual suspects Shift/Tecton/Duke PT/Kingpin.

Will be going on a VWerks Katana for a travel ski.

I mean, the Duke PT I have for sale will probably be your best bet....

Of course it would!

I already bought a new VW Katana (on sale at Corbett’s) after you scared me that it’s likely getting dropped soon.

Following. Deciding on mounting or selling my vwerks. Too many skis, not enough ski days.

I recall the TR2 had the most consistent tech binding release per skimo.co testing. And the Trab Gara/Vario toes are sick.

I’m really excited for these now that they fixed the boot compatibility issue.

What the compatability issues?

The previous TR2 required a metal horseshoe-like addition routed and screwed into the heel of most boots. Kinda like a Dynafit Beast.

Reading reviews on their site makes it sound like it's still an issue? Not wanting to make a ton of mods with my hawx xtds

I haven’t read of any boot-compatibility issues with the TR1. Just reread the skimo.co reviews and couldn’t find anything there either.

The boots in the vid clip don't have that heel mod

Correct. My understanding is that TR1 requires no boot heel modification. That is why I’m now interested in the TR1.

Travel ski, as in flying? Duke's toe comes off, theoretically heel pieces can come off to pack away.

I know you like to use demo binders for that reason.

Can you measure the actual brake width for me? I’m wondering if the widths are generous and if 102mm brakes will fit a 112mm ski. If not, do they look easy to bend?

[hoarhey]

I bought the 120 mm brake version and was going to put them On a C132 ski…

I think they will work out to being fairly close to making it

I Asked the same question on skimo’s sight and it’s there…didn’t get much information as an answer

Thanks for the info… I might take a chance on some 102mm brake TR1’s from Oliunid… $420 + 25 shipping right now.

Dumb thought but would a demo Griffon heel fit the Duke PT track? Would be so nice to remove for travel without messing w tools

I ordered and got my set of TR1’s from Oliunid. 102 brakes will just fit 112mm skis.

No mounting template is included and Instructions are lacking especially for setting forward pressure, so I quickly mounted on a 2x4 to fiddle around with them on my bench.

Interesting heel clamping mechanism. No real flat touring setting… risers at 6* and 12*. Side toe wings open to release the boot laterally.

Looks like it uses Dynafit style crampons
