Silvretta Pure FreeRide w/90mm Brake

Item #DNF0035 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Heel/toe release explination

By Ranked #257 - Alpine Touring Bindings August 29, 2009

The writings about this say that only the heel releases, meaning there would be no lateral release (sideways). That would be really bad and dumb. In reality, when you go sideways, the wings at the toe push the heel out and to the side, so the heel exits the side of the heel piece. (Somewhat like a dynafit, only by going backwards instead of rotating).
