If you've ever tried to skin up a steep, blank, icy face without ski crampons, you will immediately appreciate the value of the security they provide. By plunging into hard snow ice, the crampon teeth add grip when skins don't make full contact or you're slipping downhill. Whether you are chasing someone up a greasy skin track in the winter or trying to time the corn cycle in the spring, the Dynafit Ski Crampons will have you covered. Sold in pairs.
Machined with grooves that provide strength but keep the weight down (weights listed below).
Available in 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, 110mm, 120mm, and 130mm sizes to fit the width of your ski.
Easily slide into crampon receptors built into most tech bindings on the market.
** Please note that ski crampons work best with low heel riser settings. Since your boot is what drives the teeth into the snow, very high riser positions will result in a shallow purchase for the teeth. This can also be remedied by adding spacers on top of the crampons, which has the obvious drawback of adding weight.
Tried and true! The 100mm work well on blacklight 95s. You need to have a crampon receptor on the binding. These get maximum purchase if you are walking flat without a riser. I haven’t done it yet but I have heard about gluing a cork to the ski crampon to get more purchase into the snow/ice when on a higher riser
It is certainly allowed! If you already have some 100mm crampons laying around, have at it. If you were buying new crampons, I would recommend the 90mm for a tighter fit around the waist. But it isn't the end of the world to be wider.

Do you know if these are compatible with g3 ion 12 bindings? I saw the article on ski crampon compatibility but still couldn't quite parse the answer from that. Thanks!
Hi Stefan! Considering the toe piece sits slightly forward of the ski's true waist and the potential for slight variance in binding centering, I would suggest checking out the ATK Ski Crampon in an 86mm width. Thanks!

Hello! will te 130mm gold crampon fit a 132mm waisted skis? Thank you!
That might not quite work. A better fit would be the 135mm crampon from ATK, which also fits into a Dynafit style crampon receptor.

Well, I’ve just double checked and seems like my skis are actually 134mm. So: should I go with those ATKs? Or would the Plumm 145 mm cramp will fit? These super wide will be paired with a CAST system, that work perfectly with Dynafit cramps, not sure how the ATKs or Plumm can fit or not. Thank you!!!!
We don't sell or use the CAST system here, so I can't try one, but Dynafit and ATK use the same attachment system and so if Dynafit works I would expect ATK to work as well. Plum uses a different attachment system so they are not compatible. ATK crampons measure exactly at their specified width, so as long as your ski is actually 134mm (or smaller) where the crampon will sit, you should have no problem. To be sure, break out the calipers.

I’ve just measured the skis. They are exactly 134mm. Not sure if you could see the pic os the pin adapter I’ve sent you, you can see there the slot for the cramp. So far seems like the ATK would be the winner, but there’s only 1MM gap
Maybe I just lucked out, but I haven't had any problems with the pins that others have been reporting on here. Mine have worked well, nice and simple design, lightweight. When you need 'em, you need 'em, and they work. I have the 90mms paired with my ski trab gara titan bindings and 80mm underfoot skis.

I have a the atomic backland 100 skis paired with ATK crest 10 bindings. Would the 100 mm Dynafit ski crampón be comparable with this?

Hi Cody, the 100mm Dynafit ski crampons probably don't have enough clearance for a ski with a waist width of 100mm. Please reference my answer to your other question on the ATK Ski Crampons page for details.

I have dynafit super lite 150s bindings and backlight 74 skis - would the 80mm ski crampons fit my skis? I can’t seem to find anything small enough.
These work really well, bit stiff to get in place on my Dynafit bindings, but they provide nice bite into ice and hard snow! Happy to carry them in my pack when extra confidence and traction is needed

Are these compatible with the atomic backland tour bindings?
These will work, but you'll need to use the clip included with the binding to keep them from sliding back and forth. Atomic or Plum ski crampons can be used with the Backland Tour with no clip. You can find a full list of ski crampon compatibility here.

Will the 80 mm version work with my 170 backland ul 78, Vario 2 bindings?
They work. They will eventually break, especially if you force them into service on ice where you should be walking in crampons. Eventually the pins holding the bar on loosen, or the metal cracks. Still, essential in certain crusty conditions.

Hi there, I got myself Dynafit Blacklights 95 and thinking there is a logic behind crampons colors, ordered 110mm black crampons. Will they perform much worse than 100mm and is it good idea to exchange them, or will the fit be just fine? Thank you!
Hi Kristof, the 100mm will be a better fit as you'll get better downward force on the spikes and the crampons will be less likely to catch on each other while skinning.
They're ski crampons, so not much to review here, but chiming in to say that my friends and I also experienced the issue with all four rivets on the steel bar protruding enough to not fit in the ski binding.
I had to wear them down with a steel file for them to slide into the Dynafit Bar of the binding, so I suggest you check the fit on these ski crampons before you go out.

I have the dynafit superlite 2.0 binding. Will these work with them? From what I understand they would need to somehow unlock and slide in from the side, as the receptor on the biding doesn't have the grove for the notch in the middle. Thanks for pointing me to the right ski crampon to work with the superlite if this isn't it!
Brooks, These work with All Dynafit bindings. Those receptors are designed to hold the notch in place, it is just a bit different than their other bindings.

I bought a pair of these to use with my ST Rotation 10 bindings. They take a TREMENDOUS amount of force to shove into the slot and it tries to grind plastic or metal out of the slot. In fact, I can only get it to go in when I clamp the ski to a workbench. I'd never get it to go in the slot outside.
I measured the bar with a caliper and it's exactly 6mm. Is the slot in my ST Rotation 10 too small or is the bar on the crampon too big? The bindings are new.
Hi drew. These can be a bear to get in when new. While I don’t have a specific fix for you, we have found that repeated use seems to loosen up the slot enough to make it easier to use. Also, you can file down any sharp burrs sticking up from the rivets!

Ah was hoping it would be easier than that. Any recommendations for another crampon that works with the ST Rotation 10?
Sure! The ATK, BD, and Hagan ski crampons may work a bit more smoothly!

I bought the 110 to fit with my 102 Salomon Mtn pure binding. The binding even says that dynafits are compatible. However, the bar seems to be too large to fit into the crampon receptor. Do you know what I should buy for the mtn pure?
Hi Katherine, I myself use this crampon + binding combo without issue. However, pulling one off the wall to check with, I see what you mean. The problem seems to be some variation in the quality of riveting on the crampon bar, so you could consider sanding down the rivets with a steel file. Alternatively, the Plum ski crampons are a breeze to use with the Salomon MTN binding!
