Intro
The Superlite is 25g heavier than its sibling the 150, which is also part of Dynafit's Speed lineup. Also comes in a version without brake as standard (75, 90, 105 mm widths). This is a good candidate for two different realms: great for the Light world in its brakeless version, or as a Tour model with the brake, also because it's so light. It features lateral release values (in a 5-10 and 6-12 version), while forward release is set by selecting an interchangeable U-spring.

Fit
Like the DNA—Dynafit’s top-of-the-range race binding—one of the standout features of the Superlite, is the half-section U-spring in the heel unit. It’s a smart solution which makes it even easier to step into than the full section spring. The lock lever, however, is quite stiff and takes some effort, as does rotating the heel unit. It looks and feels robust and durable. Even though the front pins lack any alignment aids or towers, it’s easy to step into and works excellently with all Dynafit-certified inserts. You deploy and park the brake by rotating the heel, but need to turn the heel turret 180° to use the heel lifters, with the boot resting on the heel unit itself, or on a large flap.
