22 Designs Lynx Telemark Binding

The Lynx is specifically designed for NTN (New Telemark Norm) boots. It is not compatible with 75mm duckbill boots.

By using a tech-toe pivot point rather than a traditional cable or rod system, the binding allows for a much more natural, efficient stride. It significantly reduces resistance during the skinning motion, making long backcountry tours feel less fatiguing.

Yes, the Lynx features adjustable preload settings and three distinct activeness settings. You can fine-tune the engagement and power transfer to match your skiing style or the specific snow conditions you encounter.

The binding includes double-heel risers plus a flat mode. These allow you to adjust your climbing angle to match the steepness of the terrain, helping to reduce calf strain on long ascents.

While the Lynx is optimized for backcountry touring, it performs well in the resort too. It is designed for an 80/20 split between backcountry and frontcountry use, so it can handle lift-served days, though it lacks the specific safety release features found in dedicated resort bindings.

At 438g per binding (size small), the Lynx is quite lightweight for a telemark setup. Its machined aluminum construction keeps the weight down without sacrificing the durability needed for aggressive backcountry skiing.
