If you're drawn to the elegance of telemark skiing, keeping your heels untethered, the NTN Freedom telemark bindings by Rottefella could become your ideal choice.
The brake arms/stoppers have a width of 110mm. Separate stoppers with widths of 95mm or 125mm are available for purchase.
These Rottefella telemark bindings are lightweight, featuring precise progressive flex and excel in power transfer. They are well-suited for touring-focused skiers who prioritise lightweight gear. Two adjustable heel lift positions (35mm and 65mm) simplify uphill walking, complemented by a walking opening angle of 60 degrees.
Operating the bindings is straightforward for both step-in & step-out actions and for switching between downhill skiing and an easier-flex walking mode.
Compatibility:
These bindings are exclusively compatible with NTN (New Telemark Norm) telemark boots from brands such as Crispi, Scarpa, and Scott.
Flexibility (Power tubes with alternative flex characteristics can be bought separately):
- The small model is equipped with a soft (green) power tube, resulting in a soft flex.
- The large model includes a medium (blue) power tube, providing a medium flex.
Rottefella suggests using green power tubes for small boots <26.5 mondopoint and blue power tubes for large boots >26.5 mondopoint.
Sizes:
- The Small accommodates boot sizes 22.0 - 26.0 mondopoint from Scarpa and Crispi, and boot sizes 22.0 - 25.5 mondopoint from Garmont and Scott.
- The Large is suitable for boots size 26.0 mondopoint and above from Garmont and Scott, and boot sizes 26.5 mondopoint and above from Scarpa and Crispi.
Note: These bindings lack a conventional and ISO certified heel and toe release function. However, Rottefella has developed a release feature – we adhere to Rottefella's recommendations for mounting and adjusting the release function of the bindings.
