    In words

    Intro
    Dynafit's trademark binding, the Speed Radical model without brake, which comes as standard on the Radical. Its defining mechanical features are some of the most imitated and some make life much easier for the average tourer, like two overlapping flaps as climbing aids, easy to operate using a pole, and the two guides under the toe pins to aid alignment with all inserts. The old-fashioned ramp angle has been reduced as much as possible by raising the toe piece up on a lightweight plastic base. But it remains high, higher than that of most contemporary bindings, and the boot is correspondingly higher over the ski.
