Dynafit, a pioneer in the ski touring industry, is celebrating 40 years of innovation with the launch of three new pin binding models: the Ridge, Seven Summits, and Youngstar. These bindings reflect the company’s commitment to performance and sustainability, all while staying true to the principles established by founder Fritz Barthel, who revolutionized the ski touring market with his frameless design.
The Ridge binding stands out for its superior handling and exceptional downhill performance, making it ideal for ambitious ski mountaineering athletes. Key features include the patented Easy-Turn-Tech heel unit, which allows for seamless transitions between climbing and downhill modes without the need for a downward glance. Designed with an extra-wide plate and Step-In Side Towers, it ensures precise entry and stability. The Ridge also includes advanced Ice Breaker Pins that prevent snow and ice buildup, enhancing reliability on the mountain. It offers adjustable release values from DIN 4 to 12 and weighs 410 grams. The retail price is set at €550.
The Seven Summits binding epitomizes minimalism while providing all essential features for ski touring enthusiasts. Weighing only 320 grams (or 380 grams with brakes), this binding is designed for various touring experiences, from quick after-work outings to extended summit adventures. It offers adjustable lateral release values from DIN 4 to 10 and boasts features such as Ice Breaker Pins for easy entry and a speed riser with three walking modes. The Seven Summits is priced at €300, with an option for brakes at €370.
Targeted specifically at young skimo athletes, the Youngstar binding combines safety, lightness, and child-friendly design. With a release value range of DIN 2 to 5 and a generous adjustment range of 50 mm, this binding accommodates growing children and small adults up to 57 kg. Its intuitive construction allows for easy use, while the Flow Toe provides reliable release during descents. Weighing 360 grams, the Youngstar is available for €400.
In line with its commitment to sustainability, Dynafit offers a Lifetime Guarantee on most of its products, extending beyond the standard two-year warranty. This initiative reflects the brand’s belief that the most sustainable product is the one already in use, providing an additional eight years of coverage, including care and repair services.
Dynafit continues to lead the market by combining innovative technology with a focus on the needs of skiers, ensuring that both experienced athletes and newcomers alike can enjoy their time on the slopes with confidence and style.
