The Rottefella NTN Freedom telemark bindings combine lightweight design with advanced features tailored for backcountry skiing. Weighing only 1,500 grams per pair, these bindings provide a perfect balance of performance and portability, making them ideal for deep powder terrain. Their step-in design allows for quick, effortless entry, eliminating the hassle of traditional heel levers. The symmetrical construction ensures compatibility with NTN boots, simplifying setup and reducing confusion on the slopes.
Designed with safety and efficiency in mind, the NTN Freedom bindings feature sideways release to minimize injury risk during falls. When touring uphill, switch to free-pivot mode for resistance-free movement, and flip-up climbing wires reduce leg fatigue on steep ascents. The bindings deliver excellent torsional rigidity, ensuring immediate and precise energy transfer from boot to ski edge. Equipped with 110 mm brakes, they are compatible with most powder skis, providing reliable stopping power in backcountry conditions.
Power Tube spring cartridges offer consistent resistance during turns, with options to customize flex—medium blue cartridges for standard flex or green for softer flex, with red (stiff) cartridges available separately. These bindings are suitable for Garmont, Scarpa, and Crispi NTN boots, fitting sizes 25.5 Mondo and up. Whether you’re carving fresh snow or touring rugged terrain, the NTN Freedom telemark bindings are among the best telemark bindings for backcountry skiing.
Wondering how to maintain your bindings? Regularly check for debris, keep moving parts clean, and replace cartridges as needed for optimal performance. With their robust design and versatile features, these bindings are perfect for serious backcountry enthusiasts looking for reliable gear that performs in powder skiing conditions.
