The DPS R10 Touring Binding is an awesome option for backcountry enthusiasts looking for a super lightweight pin binding to explore the great unknown. Right off the bat, the 300g weight makes the R10 one of the lightest touring bindings on the market, so for those of you who like to go into the backcountry as light as possible should consider the R10. Bindings need elasticity so the ski can flex uninhibited and perform the way it’s supposed to, the R10 offers a range of 10 to 12 millimeters so you can have an awesome downhill experience after the uphill's been accomplished. The R10 has a lower ramp angle that will let you tour for longer and have better adaptability when you come across rolling hills while the adjustment lever on the toe lets you make micro adjustments for the tension depending on the terrain you’re exploring. DPS utilizes Durable CNC Aluminum Construction that brings the strongest durability that will test the winter elements and makes the R10 very lightweight, perfect for people who love uphill battles. The Stomp Pad turns this touring specific binding into a downhill weapon, delivering better boot to ski connection when you’re carving turns. Keep in mind, the Stomp Pad can only be used on skis with waist widths of 95mm or greater but the good news is the R10’s can be mounted on skis narrower than 95mm, only without the Stomp Pad. The DPS R10 Touring Bindings are made to get you to where you want to go and will boost your backcountry and alpine expeditions.
