Meet the SkiTrab TR1 — a binding that doesn’t just walk the line between backcountry lightness and downhill power, it kicks that line off the ridge. Built for skiers who want to move fast on the up and charge with confidence on the down, the TR1 delivers a rare mix of touring efficiency and alpine-binding solidity.
This hybrid tech binding features a lateral-release toe and vertical-release heel, giving it a true alpine feel on the descent. With a DIN range of 6–13, risers at 6° and 12°, 21 mm of heel adjustment, and brakes from 88 mm to 120 mm, it’s tuned for aggressive touring and freeride days alike. The steel heel jaw clamps your boot directly to the ski for maximum precision, while the toe wings provide incremental clamping force for consistent release and security.
The TR1 shines for skiers who split their time between touring and resort — the 50/50 crowd who want real downhill performance without dragging a frame binding uphill. It’s for those who like their lines steep, their transitions quick, and their gear confidence-inspiring.
On snow, it skis like a true alpine binding. The power transfer feels direct and stable, even in firm or technical terrain. Touring mode is smooth and practical: flip risers easily, switch between climb and ski without stepping fully out, and leave the toe lever unlocked when avalanche conditions call for it. Built from aerospace-grade materials with minimal plastic, the TR1’s design is sleek, low-profile, and built to last.
Safety is another strong point — it’s one of the few tech bindings with both lateral toe and frontal heel release. Add to that a solid mechanical brake and a consistent release pattern, and you’ve got a binding that inspires trust when things get rowdy.
Of course, it’s not the lightest — at around 1,370 g per pair with brakes, it’s built for confidence, not record-setting ascents. Boot compatibility also matters: the TR1 fits most ISO 9523 touring and ISO 23223 alpine boots, but it’s worth double-checking before mounting. Transitions take a bit of practice, too, but once you’ve got the rhythm, it’s second nature.
In short: the SkiTrab TR1 is for skiers who want one binding that does it all — climb strong, descend harder, and never question whether their setup can handle it. Powerful, precise, and unapologetically robust.
