ST Radical Binding - 2025

The industry standard

These are the daily driver. Not setting any skimo records, and also not falling out of my bindings. These feel solid on the feet during the downhill portion of the day, and light enough to do some long tours. Beginners can feel comfortable getting into these and experts should know what they are getting, reliability. I've used plenty, been around plenty, but still manage to come back to this one.

Great introductory, do-it-all binding

This binding is the first binding I have used for touring. I mounted them on a pair of Salomon QSTs. I chose this one as I had demo-d it for a couple days and I found it fairly easy as my first binding. I also chose this binding as it had a broader mounting area, which in my mind made sense to mount on a stiffer, more hard charging ski. While this is not the most lightweight binding on the market, I performs extremely well. I would recommend this to the vast majority of ski tourers looking for an entry into the sport.

Great touring binding for backcountry and in-bounds

Light, robust binding that has great retention on the uphill and downhill. Still pops when needed, but instills confidence in both directions. I've used them both touring and resort skiing and have enjoyed both. The only issue I have isn't model specific, but touring binding specific. With the release being on the toe, you just have to watch out for branches/tree stumps while skiing through glades, as they may release your binding.

super light and strong

I have mounted these on my Armada locators for touring and I love them, they are so light but don't feel brittle or weak like other mostly polymer bindings I have used.

Great functionality and an efficient setup. Transitioning the heal piece is not as easy as other models, but the trade off may be how solid this binding feels on the descent. Perfect for sending it in the backcountry and for skiers that want a lightweight setup, but are not copy ting grams.

First AT binding. They are lightweight, hold well, and so far no problems. The heels can be a little difficult to take out of touring mode sometimes, but not enough to cause any frustration.

These bindings are solid, secure when you need them, release like should. Tour great and you will never get shifted!!!!

1st Time Touring

I've been out about 4 times now, having never used any other type of touring setup before, these were great! My partner got a touring setup from a friend who's been riding in the Wasatch for over a decade. With his recommendation I sought out Dyna and have been extremely impressed with the quality of their hard goods and soft goods. The rotation on the Radicals is smooth and feels very solid when it's in each of its positions. There was a review/question I saw on their website about it only rotating in one direction, that is not the case it does however, make your setup a bit quicker if you rotate it the way the (brake stop? Idk what the piece is called that holds the brake down while you're skinning) holds the brakes down as it only works in one direction. On the downhill they hold me in to the set DIN and haven't had any complaints:]

Solid, Light and reliable

Dynafit is certainly one of the leaders is Backcountry Skiing. They have the most durable gear, best support and some of the best preformance. This binding is great for any ski that you want to make tour specific. It has the basic design and simple execution that you need to have a no hassle experience while touring. The color schemes go well with a wide spectrum of skis and if you needed a little more beef for the down hill go with the Rotation!

Mounted on a pair of RMU Apostle 96 Touring. Vermont front & backcountry use. Very pleased so far with weight, uphill ease and performance, and have even used it as an alpine binding - single ski quiver here - and while a tech binding isn't ideal for resort it's doing the job and I haven't had any unexpected release incidents and trust the performance well enough.
