Dynafit Superlite 2.0 Binding

How does the technology on this binding compare to the Radical ST 2.0? does this binding feature the pivotting toe?
Of course ,I assume it does not compensate for ski length change due to flex? Thanks, Dennis
It looks like even adding the adjustment plate and brakes the weight would be half compared to the ST 2.0 with brakes?

If you mount the heels on an adjustable heel plate, can you still use the brake?

Would the black version (DIN 12) be a bad choice for someone who skis around a 7 DIN? I only weigh 130 pounds so I'm curious if this binding would be dangerous in terms of not releasing under certain circumstance given my low weight.

After great success with my SL 2.0 whites on my Vertex-X, a friend gave my a pair of the greens. I replaced the Speed Radicals on my Cho Oyus with the greens because the ice buidup associated with the bsl adjustment screw & track was giving me fits--some days in our maritime snows I couldn't get more than 4 strides without snow reaching the height of the binding. I feel I made a good choice. Fitted with B&D adjustment plates and antitwists, striding has actually improved; the anti-twist works great; no twist using the lifts; ice buildup occurs (like today) but is minimal and easily resloved. The setup, of course, is lighter, always a good thing. I feel the performance is better just because of a better match in the system of binding delta, boot ramp angle, boot forward lean, and tibia length (I use them with my TLT6M--I had to add shims to the toes of the Speeds and even then this is better). I did not like these bindings with the Scarpa F1--even with the forward most lean, I felt in the back seat. It seems to me that the Scarap F1 has a much milder ramp angle than the TLT6 and the added forward lean does not make up for that given the very low delta of the Superlight 2.0. The greens require a mild stomp by me to get into, less than the acceleration my 100-lb wife applies to get into her Vertical STs (Lou at wildsnow couldn't get into the greens on the snow). I have the lateral release set to my suggested RV, but the high set vertical release give me a little pause--thus a 4 star rating, altho one feels VERY secure once the heel is set; obviously no pre-release LOL

These were the first tech binding for me - they are light and work well although they are hard to click into the heels for ski mode especially compared to Speed Turns which I just have to barely weight to click into. This is not a problem on a firm base but can be a little annoying on a powdery hill.

The only negative for me is the high lifter is not high enough, even with the BD (1/2 inch) extension. And now I have a problem where it appears the lifter has gotten loose and while breaking trail will fall back (seems the snow is pushing it back?).

Has anyone experienced this? Very annoying to have to put the lifter back up every few steps! Any ideas on how to restore the stickiness of the lever or might this be a warranty issue. Without the BD extension though, there might not be an issue.

I have used these bindings to death over the past two years and wanted to offer some information here. I have these on a pair of Dynafit Cho Uyo's that I used as my go to ski for most conditions. These bindings have been extremely durable, look super sexy, and I have never had them pre-release. That said, they are really hard to step into. This could be specific to the pair I have but I have to stomp *incredibly* hard to get into ski mode. The plus of this is that I really feel secure once I'm in but it's kind of a pain in the butt. My only other complaint with the binding is that after time the heel riser mechanism gets stiff and difficult to flip around, especially when I'm lazy and try to do it with my pole.

I had a vertical release occur a few times simply sidestepping in pow!
Din set at around 11.. I believe it was a vertical release. Is there a stiffer spring available or thoughts on why this would occurr.. Seems to be mounted to spec.

Hello,

I am thinking of getting a pair of 112mm wide skis that were previously mounted with Superlight 2.0 binding. I have read your hole patterns post and realize that the hole pattern for Superlight 2.0 is different from the Dynafit Radical 2.0 ST bindings. The previous binding was mounted at manufacturer recommended line. If I want to mount Radical 2.0 also at the manufacturer recommended line, will there be enough gap between the previous hole pattern and new hole pattern for it to be safe enough? Or I will have to move the binding to the front or to the back?

On a side note, is this binding good enough to drive a 112mm wide ski? I have never used a race style binding before. What are the differences that I am going to notice if I make a switch coming from a radical 2.0?

Hey guys, do these have a higher heel-toe delta out of the box than plum race 150/170?

What's the vertical release # on the Dynafit scale of the Superlight?

I would like to know how hard is to step in the heel comparing with the radical ft for example. Almost all reviews say it is an issue for this binding. I am 5ft 3 and I weight 145 lbs. I am changing for a light weight set up and I really do not know if this binding is the right choice for me. It seems it is a good light weight binding that respond well for skiing relativly hard.
I really do not want to have trouble later in the backcountry and not being able to step in the binding.

Hi,
Is it possible to just get the sl 2.0 toes(green ones)? Can't remember if I have an account(I've picked up b and d toe shims in the past). I'm in revelstoke. My postal code is V0e3k0
Thanks
Sean

Hi, I bought a 2.0 black and green binding for my 125 lbs girlfriend and she struggles much to clip in the heel piece. I feel it wont release if needed and could be dangerous for her to use. Any possibility to get a softer U spring?

Thanks

Regarding riser heights on your spec sheet, what does "unofficial flat" mean? How well does "unofficial flat" work on flat and rolling approaches?

Are these bindings adjustable at all for different boots? I have two size 29 boots of different brands: Solomon MTN Explore, and Arcteryx Procline. What is the total adjustment range on these bindings? and is it a quick process if I'm switching between boots regularly? Do I need the separate Dynafit adjustment plate in order to accommodate these different boot sizes

I was told by a ski tech that these bindings won't work very well on a more flexible ski, such as my Volkl Nanuqs: there's a potential for the boot to slip out. Is this true?

Any chance that the 105mm brake would work for a 106mm ski like for instance the Movement Alp Tracks 106?

Now that the white version of this binding is being sold, any chance the lower RV forks (the ones from the white version) will be available to purchase for this binding? Love the Superlight 2.0 but would like to have a lower RV fork that's easier to step into.

If so, is this an easy install?

Had these mounted on G3 ZenOxide 88s. The (lack of) weight is awesome. And I am an apostate, so the brakes is great too. No problem with stepping-in, but I am over 200lb, so maybe that is it. They sure feel secure when they are on. No pre-releases. Just a couple of issues:
- the press-fit pin that the heel lift pivots around, and, more critically, that retains the U-spring, came loose on one binding. This would NOT be a good pin to loose. Once it is out, the U-spring is gone the next time you step in. No probs on the warranty, tho, so all is good.
- with the brakes on, when the heel is rotated backwards, the brake seems to ever so slightly cant the heel piece upwards a little, which, it seems, makes it easier to auto-rotate. Haven't actually done a comparo to see if no-brakes will solve it, but boy, when the snowpack is firm like on spring mornings, and the ski track canted off-angle and you need to rotate your ankles to get the ski flat, that heel auto-rotates a LOT. Has only been a problem in hard spring snow with off-angle tracks. Not sure if others are seeing this. Hopefully the B&D solution will fix this.

I had looked at these bindings for a lightweight approach ski for moderate climbing terrain where I would feel comfortable using my TLT boots. I paired them with a G3 Stinger XCD ski for a decently lightweight scaled ski. Ultimately I am breaking this setup apart as I just do not like these bindings for my personal use. I feel they are a step backward from the original Superlite for my quixotic tastes. I dislike that the 2.0 compromises the race-style ease of use of the Superlite to give people the ability to use a brake and still be able to tour. This is a personal grievances though and I cannot substantively fault/down-rate the binding on these points. The binding provides a lot of function for the weight and is a great option for those who aren't afflicted with rando pragmatism.
One thing to note, make sure your shop knows how to mount these. My experience having these mounted is what ultimately pushed me to mount my own bindings. The shop I had these mounted at went overboard on the glue which clogged the spring-loaded pins that allow the brake to be attached. It was impossible to mount a brake because of this without removing the binding and cleaning the springs. For the gram-conscious who eschew brakes, the spring can be removed with a 9/64" hex key saving 5 grams per binding. Though, If you are truly concerned about saving 5 grams you should look at other bindings.
