Black Diamond O1 Telemark Ski Binding

Item #BLD0685 | 73 in Stock
5 Star Rating

The O1 returns unchanged for its second year.

By Backcountry.com Employee March 20, 2008

The O1 returns unchanged for its second year. Thank goodness. Cable cartridges underfoot - available in 'freeflex', 'mid stiff', and, our favorite, 'ridiculously stiff' drive power to the ski on the downhill. But the best part of the O1 is its touring mechanism. A simple press of a toggle offers a frictionless pivot of the stainless steel toe piece, allowing you to ascend unhindered by either boot or binding. The only downside is that on super cold days the toe piece is occasionally reluctant to snap back into place, creating a slight panic until it finally does.
