 Poster: A snowHead

Next up in the more elastic tech binding world with perhaps the smallest adjustment to the tech binding design possible:

Anyone fondled one?

look pretty; would only replace my TLT speeds if the claimed forward pressure actually introduces a worthwhile amount of elastic travel without costing too much weight

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

First I've heard of that! Anyone know what the real differences are between the various other '2nd gen' tech bindings (ie real elastic travel)?

clarky999, just going off the pictures and the description that they've added forward pressure I'd hazard that the toe is just a normal tech toe and the heel is mounted on a sliding track to avoid the dreaded toe pop out when the ski bends enough to close the gap you'd normally have with a tech heel. Unlike the Beast/Zenith it doesn't appear to have elasticity in the toe beyond that of a normal tech binding but who knows.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Seems like the latest models of the Dynafit Radical already ship with this elasticity added!

You'll need to Register first of course.

Wildsnow shows you how to determine whether you are buying the new version or not as Dynafit have made this upgrade without changing anything else (name, verdion, graphics) so shops may still be hlding old stock.

The 13/14 Radicals already have the forward pressure mechanism. Now anyone fancy a Radical with a pivoting toe

geoffers, most notable part of that video is the cut away before landing on all but the smallest drop. All the other skiing is pretty manageable on normal tech bindings. 
Could be the first real contender though if it lives up to that video!
