Black Diamond O2 Telemark Binding

Item #BLD0971 | 55 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Resort Skiers need only apply

By Ranked #271 - Telemark Skiing November 6, 2009

These are my favorite resort bindings; I've skied on the R8s, HH, and Targas previously. You can't beat the power and the smooth flex. The mid stiff cartridge is more than enough for the average knee dropper. If you want serious power, step up to the rid stiff cartridges. I'm currently running rid stiffs on my BD Machines and K2 Piste Pipes and wouldn't consider switching to a different binding. The only reason I gave them only 4 stars is because they are resort specific. I made the mistake of skinning with them and it will never happen again. If you are going to be doing any serious back country skiing do yourself a favor and spend a little more for the BD 01 bindings. Also, if you’re flying to a ski destination the cartridges have a nasty habit of loosening up on the flight.
