Cast Freetour 2.0 Pivot

Unlike traditional frame bindings that keep the entire binding on your boot while touring, the Cast system allows you to swap the heavy alpine toe piece for a lightweight pin-tech unit. This significantly reduces swing weight on your feet during the ascent while maintaining the safety and performance of a true alpine binding for the descent.

The Freetour 2.0 is highly versatile and compatible with ISO 5355 alpine soles, GripWalk ISO 23223, and touring ISO 9523 boots. This makes it an excellent choice if you own multiple pairs of boots or plan to upgrade your footwear in the future.

Yes, it is designed specifically for that purpose. By utilizing a trusted alpine heel piece, the system provides the same elastic travel and retention you would expect from a dedicated downhill binding, ensuring you stay locked in through high-speed turns and variable terrain.

The transition is straightforward, though it does require a bit of practice. You simply remove the touring toe piece and lock the alpine toe piece into the base plate, which is a secure and reliable process once you get the hang of it.

The three riser settings—0, 8, and 12 degrees—allow you to adjust your boot angle to match the steepness of the slope. Using the higher risers on steeper ascents reduces calf fatigue and improves traction, making long backcountry climbs much more efficient.

With 45mm of elastic travel in the toe and 28mm in the heel, this binding offers substantial shock absorption. This high level of elasticity is key for aggressive skiers, as it helps the binding absorb impacts and vibrations without releasing prematurely.
