22 Designs Hammerhead Telemark Binding
Trying to control today’s fat, burly skis with a wimpy little telemark binding is like trying to lasso a dinosaur. 22 Designs developed the Hammerhead with enough lateral stiffness to bully the biggest skis out there. And with five different pivot point settings, you can customize the Hammerheads for your style and terrain.
- Improved lateral stiffness gives the skier more power and control
- Underfoot cable routing provides maximum control and allows boots to flex at the bellows, not at the toes
- Five different pivot point settings allow the skier to cutomize the feel of the binding
- 2000lb Test cable, 6 point mounting pattern, and beefy construction prevent breakdowns
- Spring-loaded HammerHeel makes flipping your climbing bar up and down a breeze (no more bent-over slide-slipping and cursing)
- Has the Powder Magazine Skier’s Choice 2010 award in its pocket
Bottom Line: If Hulk Hogan skied telemark…

This binding will be awesome for you! You can adjust the activity of the binding with its 5 settings to find what you prefer - great for a beginner as you will probably change your preferences as you improve. It is bullet proof as well (unlike some other tele bindings).

NO, that's the beauty of Hammerheads: they have adjustable resistance. You can slide the pivot point of the binding forward to lower the resistance and make it easier to learn tele turns, then, as you improve, you can slide it back to increase the resistance and get more power out of your turns. I highly recommend the Hammerhead for any level of tele skier...

I have broken the cables on all other types of bindings I've owned. Except these. Bomber bindings, very supportive and powerful. I trust them in any condition and use them exclusively. Also like the underfoot design, no longer stepping on cables or self ejecting from snagging bindings.
The Best Tele Binding on the Market

Hammerheads are really the best telemark binding out there. I skied on O1s for a couple of years, until I got fed up with their constant maintenance issues and breakages. The Hammerheads provide smooth power and the huge toe piece makes my boots feel super-stable in the binding. They are easier to clip on, easier to clip off, and unlike the O1s, they don't back off while you're skiing (the O1s require constant adjustment of the cartridges to keep them at the desired preload). The adjustable pivot point makes changing resistance a breeze, so I can crank it up for gnarly, technical terrain, and crank it down for more mellow days. While they don't tour as well as the O1s, the forward pivot point setting is almost free pivot, and I'm amped to have my HHs on the way down. Nothing better to drive big skis. I LOVE HAMMERHEADS!
Change me.
