22 Designs Axl Telemark Binding

The gold standard 75mm telemark binding built for skiers who want bombproof construction, adjustable power, and effortless touring in one proven package. The Axl's chrome die springs, stainless steel toepiece, 2000-pound test cable attachments, and free-pivot touring mode make it the 75mm standard for a reason and the binding that serious telemark skiers keep coming back to season after season.

Why We Carry It
It's the 75mm binding we recommend for telemark skiers who want a durable, high-performance setup that charges hard at the resort and tours efficiently in the backcountry without questioning the gear under their feet.

Highlights

• Free pivot touring with 50 degrees of resistance-free range of motion — A true free pivot mode that delivers an efficient, natural touring stride on the skin track without fighting the binding with every step. Pole-activated ski-walk mode for quick transitions without bending down in variable snow conditions.
• Cables routed underfoot for active flex — Cable routing directly underfoot allows 75mm telemark boots to flex naturally at the bellows for a more active, responsive flex feel and improved lateral stability throughout the turn.
• Progressive spring travel with over 2 inches of travel — Chrome die springs that engage progressively all the way through the turn rather than spiking at the beginning for a smooth, powerful, and controllable flex that rewards committed telemark technique.
• 3 slic pin preload positions — Three distinct preload settings for tuning the binding's resistance to your skiing style, ability level, and snow conditions without tools or spring swaps. Quick, easy adjustments in the field.
• 2000-pound test cable attachments — Bombproof cable connections that handle the forces of aggressive telemark skiing without stretching, breaking, or losing retention over time. The construction detail that earns the Axl its reputation for durability.
• Stainless steel toepiece with chrome die springs — Long-lasting, corrosion-resistant materials throughout the front assembly for a binding that holds up through years of hard resort and backcountry use without the wear that lesser materials develop over a season.
• Soft and stiff spring options available — Swap to softer springs for mellow touring days and lighter skiers or stiffer springs for aggressive charging on firm snow and steeper terrain without buying a new binding.
• Two spring-loaded climbing bails at 8° and 13° — Two heel lift positions for efficient climbing on moderate and steep terrain without stopping to manually adjust with gloved hands.
• Secure 6-hole mounting pattern — A robust mounting footprint for a solid, reliable binding-to-ski connection that holds up under the torque of aggressive telemark skiing.
