Rottefella Xplore BC Offtrack Binding

Very solid binding- performs well for skating and skiing. I prefer these over standard bindings

Used for a week in Vätsäri and really good for skiing! When the weather turns freezing, they can become stiff/frozen, making it difficult to open the binding. If necessary, they can be opened with a little bit of prying with a tool.

These bindings are amazing. I’ve skied Nordic on NNN BC bindings for decades while also skiing both alpine and telemark. While NNN BC bindings are great for most conditions, they lack the leverage of a telemark binding for had driving turns. These bindings, mounted on a pair of Fischer SBound 98’s and skied with Alpina Alaska boots are absolutely the bomb for moderate depth untracked BC Nordic and for the deep stuff they are amazing on a set of SBound 128s (old school, removed a set of tele bindings to mount these and love how they float and turn).

I really like this binding, the classic Nordic skiing motion feels really comfortable.

I like the binding. It's light and has been trouble-free so far. It also feels quite secure despite being light. They are mounted to SBound 112 skis and using I'm using a Crispi Futura Pro boot. I have been using the standard flex bumper and the ability to drive the inside ski isn't great but fine for mellow terrain. I just got the hard flex bumpers and will give them a try next time out. The bales of the hill climbers are difficult for me to flip up. I have to use the handle of my piles at just the right angle to pull them into place.

Very sturdy bindings. Even the forest skis didn't feel so clumsy, as the movement of the boots is transmitted directly to the ski thanks to the sturdy bindings.

Light and simple games.

A reliable staple

These bindings bend as easily as the NNN but give more edge control than a three pin cable binding. They are also really convenient to step in and out of.

Locking requires precision. Otherwise good.
