Rottefella Xplore BC Offtrack 2024 Bindings

The Xplore Off-Track binding is the latest innovation from Norwegian manufacturer Rottefella. This binding is specially designed for Nordic Backcountry ski, whether on hilly or more rugged terrain. It was designed to offer better mobility when walking and more stability in the descents.

 

The Xplore sole is non-slip and relatively rigid. The point of rotation is moved backwards, as far as possible towards the foot for better mobility and comfort for the skier. The walking sensation is also more natural. To ski, simply connect the inserts (pins at the boot level) in the binding. It's simple and intuitive. To remove the binding, a lever on the front of the binding allows you to disconnect the inserts.

At the front of the binding, Rottefella has positioned a removable and interchangeable flex. You can change it according to your course. The binding comes with a versatile "All Round Flex". You can replace it with the "Hard Flex" or the "Free Pivot Plate" (additional flexes sold separately). On the rear heel piece, a wedge allows for easier ascents by raising the skier's heel. The stress on the calves is then less.

 

These bindings are used with Xplore compatible boots. The soles of Xplore boots are designed to be more flexible vertically and stiffer horizontally. The design provides a more stable and secure downhill ski. Mobility is increased on the flat and walking is made easier on the uphill. The Rottefella Xplore is compatible with all Nordic touring skis, including those with the widest sidecut.
