Ski Trab has made a splash with their race bindings, offering a proven design at an improved price. Based on recently expired patents on the basic tech binding concept, the TR-Race is compatible with existing boots with tech inserts, using the standard specifications for toe pivots and heel pins. Weighing in at 136 grams (4.8 ounces), the Ski Trab binding has a separate locked mode and ski mode so you are set for the up and down. Locking and unlocking is accomplished with a smooth, easy motion of the toe lever.

• Ergal toe pieces weigh only 80 grams (2.8 ounces) and include slotted, hardened-steel pivots to help clean boot holes during binding entry.
• Ergal heel pieces with steel springs have one simple flap/riser that is used to quickly switch between uphill touring and downhill skiing modes.
• Climbing lever offers the ability to switch between fully locked out and unlocked positions of the toe jaws.
• Comes with optional crampon receptors (4g) that are machined to fit underneath the binding (you have to choose at mounting time).
• Heel pieces rotate 360° effortlessly so you have a flat-on-ski riser option for long flat traverses.

** Please note that this binding is not adjustable forward and backward, so a precise mount to your boot is required. For more flexibliity with mounts and boot sizes, see the Race Adjustable binding. Also note that this year's version is black as seen in the second image.
