Dynafit Speed Turn Binding


Discontinued


Dynafit historians rejoice. The new Speed Turn is an amalgamation of the classic TLT Speed and the soon-to-be-classic Speed Radical bindings. With an old-school Speed-style climbing bar affixed atop a modern Radical housing, the heel pieces have three climbing positions and a full 25 millimeters of adjustability to accommodate multiple boots. If you’re not a fan of the flap-style risers and yearn for a simpler rotational design, the Speed Turn could be for you.

The toe pieces are of classic 5-hole design, with the minimalist metal front plate supported by a plastic mounting base. The toes feature both skiing and locked-out skinning modes along with a crampon receptor for those icy spring mornings. This is the classic design that can still be seen going strong on 10+ year-old skis of backcountry stalwarts.

  • Classic climbing bar with plastic nubbin offers 2 riser positions along with a flat-on-ski mode.
  • Radical heel base has 12.5mm of fore/aft adjustment, much more than the TLT Speed’s 3mm.
  • Locked uphill and unlocked downhill modes on the toe provide a balance of safety and security.
  • Crampon slot molded into the plastic baseplate lets you affix Dynafit style ski crampons.
  • Separate lateral and vertical release adjustments scale between 4 and 10 independently.
  • Comes with a Guide Leash so you can opt to not lose a ski down the mountain.

Speed Turn vs Speed Radical

Weighing approximately the same, the Speed Turn and Radical primarily differ in the riser mechanisms, operation of which is a personal preference. To change riser heights with the Speed Turn, you need to rotate the heel piece in either direction versus flipping the risers into place as with the Radical. The Turn is also missing the Power Towers on the toe pieces, which can make stepping in a touch harder. The simpler design will save you $50, however.

Question from Cameron
 
Wondering if the Speed Turn shares the same mounting pattern as a 2010 Vertical ST?

The speed turns are an awesome binding. I was originally hesitant to go to the radical due to the heel, but have found the speed turn heel to perform amazingly well. Just wish someone sold a radical toe with speed turn heel, as swapping the radical toe makes for the ultimate BC binding on almost all planks.

this year's model of speed turns provide exactly what you're looking for. I'm just wondering though what the difference in toe pieces is? Which, if any, of these models has the Power towers? and is that even significant?
