Rottefella

Xcelerator Skate Binding

The Rottefella Xcelerator Skate Binding is the lightest binding on the market—at just under six ounces, it's not much heavier that that energy bar you just ate, and will probably do more to help your skiing. Rottefella's been making bindings since 1927 and winning Olympics since 1928, so it probably knows what it's doing when it comes to getting skiers on the podium (just ask Petter Northug). Apart from being roughly the weight of air, the Xcelerator is compatible with the NIS system, which ensures that it has a wide, powerful footprint and easily adjustable positioning, so you can fine-tune your binding to fit your skiing style and the conditions. You can adjust the flex, too, with swappable toe bumpers designed to work in different temperatures and for skiers of different weights.
