HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 мар 2023
- Happy World Telemark Day! Knee droppers rejoice: the new TTS Transit Telemark Binding is coming. Here are the highlights:
• Option to feel like a traditional 75mm binding.
• Three activity positions can be entirely changed on the fly.
• Heel assembly can be removed and stowed to save weight on approach.
Also prevents snow/ice buildup!
264 grams per heel assembly (half the binding weight).
• Heel lever is more secure than ever. It cams further, and has curves that hug the boot’s contours.
• 2.43 lbs per pair (total weight with heel assembly, risers, and all hardware included).

Wow you folks nailed it, next year I’m going with those for sure!
Love to hear it!
Great improvmemt of your first edition, good work👌🏻
Thank you!
Def going to get them. Big plus I can use’em on all my old skis with switchback on👌🏻
Thanks for keeping the faith!
Maybe you've already done so, but any thought on partnering with Scarpa to bring back the Defender? Surely they didn't dispose of the molds for those boots, which would be prefect for this binding at nearly a pound lighter than TX-Pros.
Great to see this evolving this way.
Monstrous improvement! Nice to see!
This is quite similar to your three pin and cable (both spring cables or hard wire cables) in concept and functionality. For my 75 mm leather boots, and my T3and T4's, the three pin cable set up does exactly what this new binding does for the new NTN boots.
Neat. I really like my three pin/spring cable bindings on my UltraVector skis.
yes to Voilé👍👍❤️
exactly the moonlight set up, it works
This is an awesome setup but I think the only boots that will work with it are the Scarpa and Crispi NTNs. They're great boots for sure but a bit heavy for real touring.
Might be the cheapest way to buy a Plum toe piece!
ps, I liked the idea of the first iteration, made it different from other TTS out there
The amount of innovation going on in tele bindings is phenomenal. I love the simplicity of this design using time-tested parts.
The problem is Scarpa’s NTN boot monopoly and their reluctance to keep up with AT. Very sore subject.
Questions: Could I reasonably get tech toe inserts installed in my almost-new Crispi 75 mm tele boots to work with this TTS binding? How reliable are aftermarket tech inserts, and who does installation in the Western US?
Thanks for a great video.
Howdy, David! Since we aren't a boot manufacturer, this isn't something we can speak to or recommend doing. We manufactured the TTS Transit for NTN boots that include tech-toe inserts. Hope that helps.
Very well thought design and looks like interesting alernative for other NTN bindings, especially for backountry! How is the downhill skiing feel - closer to 75 mm or NTN?
Howdy! With the three activity positions, you can dial it in to match your downhill preferences. We've found that the neutral (most forward) position gets you closer to that 75mm feel. The active (most rearward) position will give you more of a classic NTN feel. If you feel like you want something in-between, you can go with the moderate (middle) position.
Will these have different stiffness of cartridges for those folks who like a more aggressive engagement?
Initially, there will be short and long-travel cartridge options for the TTS Transit.
The short-travel "tour" cartridge is the same stiffness as the "tour" cartridge on our original TTS binding. The stiffness of the long-travel cartridge will sit in between the feel of the "stiff" and "tour" cartridge options we have for the original TTS.
Hope that helps!
The real question here is where can I get a pair of TX Comps with inserts like this!?!
Thats actually a pair of scarpa tx. Its like a t2 for ntn. Scarpa don’t produce them anymore, so its a bit hard to find them nowdays.
So is this the same as the previous moonlight binding that you had something to do with but you are now selling it instead of them ? or does it have advantages beyond that one
We stood on the shoulders of Moonlight to design the TTS Transit. We want to give credit where it's due! That aside, we've made some critical improvements to the design to make the Transit a compelling option.
The crampon slot design from Plum allows you to attach crampons directly behind the toe piece. With the crampon slot occupying that space, the activity positions have been slightly pushed back, which gives a marginally more active feel. The crampon straddles the binding, so you don't have to remove the rods while in use.
We also updated the hooks on the rods so they stay locked in place and don't come out as easily as the prior version, and we increased the stiffness on the long-travel cartridge that we provided for Moonlight in the past. Above all else, the Transit will be available for purchase in the Fall of 2023, and we're invested in continued Telemark binding development!
@@voilemfg sounds good, hopefully I will get a set when they come out
Can they be mounted on the Hyper series skis?
That is something we don't recommend since Voile Hyper Skis mounted with telemark bindings aren't covered under the Voile factory warranty.
What kind of voile skis are these in the video?
It's the UltraVector with a new graphic for the 23/24 season!
Look closely at the guys boots (3:02 of the video). It looks to me like a new boot, at least a new cuff and buckle!!!
Its a pair of scarpa tx which is not being produced anymore. It is similare to scarpas 75 mm t2.
I love it! How about now starting to put skin-clip notches in your lovely skis. Really, pretty please!? This is the one and only thing I don't love about your skis.
I use the Voile Hyperglide skins and their rubber/plastic clip and straps work really well with the no notch tails of Voile skis. But my G3 skin clips do not work very well without a notch in the tail.
@@scottbalsai I have the Hyperglides too. They are ok, but when they dont' work, they don't work. I don't understand this --- having the skin tail come off is a major pain if it happens when e.g. you have a heavy pack on and don't want to have to stop and bend down, or when you on a steep slope and doing a kick turn, or when conditions are wet, etc. etc. There's simply no reason not to do this -- it will be an investment by Voile as perhaps they'd have some machinary to modify (?) of course, but surely it will pay off in the long run.
@@ericsteig5296 yes, I agree with you.. it’s such a small suggestion but would greatly make things easier for the user.
But my Voile skin clips work great always. Maybe you need to adjust them a little tighter. But I agree why should one have to use only Voile skins for their skis. I even suggested that on my review of their Ultravector BC skis. Check out my review on their website under the Blue Green Ultravector BC.
Maybe the new skis for next year will have the notches.
@@scottbalsai Fingers crossed -- but I Voile guy I talked to years ago said "next year" and it hasn't happened. I don't get it.
Writing again because Voile replied but seemed to have misundertood. VOILE: How about now starting to put skin-clip notches in the TAILS of your lovely skis. Really, pretty please!? This is the one and only thing I don't love about your skis.
We hear you. Check out our latest RUclips upload: The Charger ACE. Let us know what you think.
@@voilemfg I’m psyched. Thank you! I’ll be so jazzed if you also get proper tails on your BC skis in the future.
I also love the simple white graphics!
Ok, I give up… what the hell boot is that?!?!? It looks like a T2 with the ratcheting instep strap, but it has NTN second heel and tech inserts… which doesn’t exist! You got a prototype or something? Scarpa’s been pretty tight lipped about tele boot updates… you sure they would like you guys using this boot in a RUclips video before they’ve made their announcement? …or maybe they did and I missed something?
It's an old Scarpa TX/Terminator X. Pretty sure this boot was made in the early 2010s.
@@voilemfg wow, thx! I was off snow due to injury for a number of years, I must have missed that one!
