22 Designs Outlaw X Telemark Binding

22 Designs Outlaw X NTN Telemark Binding

A robust, all-round NTN telemark binding built for skiers who charge hard at the resort and tour efficiently in the backcountry without carrying two different setups. The Outlaw X's stainless steel construction, 50-degree free-pivot touring mode, and adjustable preload system deliver the performance and durability that serious telemark skiers demand in a binding that does it all.

Why We Carry It
It's the NTN binding we recommend for telemark skiers who want a proven, reliable setup that handles resort charging and backcountry touring without compromise on either end.

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 or removing gloves.
• Industrial strength die spring under a steel plate — A main spring system that provides progressive flex, instant flex engagement at the beginning of a turn, and precision lateral control for maximum downhill performance on firm snow and steep terrain.
• 5 adjustable preload settings — Fine-tune the binding's resistance to match your skiing style, ability level, and snow conditions without swapping springs. A versatile range that finds the sweet spot for any skier.
• True step-in with pole-activated release — Easy, reliable step-in and release with improved boot retention over previous versions. A functional, field-tested entry system that works in variable snow conditions without wrestling with the binding at the top of a run.
• Stainless steel construction — Built for the hardest chargers with stronger materials and durable construction that holds up through a full season of resort and backcountry use without the corrosion and wear that lesser materials develop over time.
• 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. A wide range of activity covered with one binding platform.
• 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 a riser with gloved hands.
• Ski crampon compatible — Works with 22 Designs Outlaw ski crampons for secure uphill traction on icy and hard-packed backcountry terrain where skins alone aren't enough.
• Brakes available separately — Compatible with 22 Designs Outlaw brakes in 80, 95, 110, and 125mm widths for ski retention on the descent.
• 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.

Best For

Resort and backcountry telemark skiers who want a robust, durable NTN binding with free-pivot touring capability and adjustable performance for charging hard in both directions. A strong all-round telemark binding for skiers who split time between the resort and the backcountry and want one reliable setup for both.

Compatibility Note

NTN boot standard only. Not DIN-certified releasable. Brakes and ski crampons sold separately. If you will not be using skins, the 22 Designs Bandit is likely the better option.
