More in the Tyrolia TRB backcountry skiing binding museum display. Another feature of the TRB is a toe that on first glance appears to be alpine-like and was thus good for marketing, as tour skiers coming from an alpine background have always been skeptical of bindings that do their side release by rotating out at the heel (as the Marker M does, as well as all tech bindings.) Probably the most interesting part of the TRB is a double pivot in the binding plate/frame, which acted a bit like the now extinct but fascinating Naxo binding of just a few years ago. The elegance of tech bindings aside, while we probably couldn’t even lift our legs with a binding such as a TRB on our feet, they’re fun to observe and quite interesting in how they solved problems such as ski flex and the near biblical necessity of latching the heels for the down while still being able to effectuate a walking stride on the up. (To be fair, the somewhat problematic yet usable Ramer bindings of that period were significantly light in weight.) Note the revision number appended to the end of the filename (R1 ect). 1970s Hart Bullet Billy Kidd Sighed Vintage Metal Skis with Tyrolia 360 bindings. After fiddling with templates every-time I mount bindings, I decided to make paper templates for all the popular bindings that can be printed on 8.5'x11' paper and can be used for all BSL's. Thus, not surprisingly it was that same year that Fritz Barthel began developing the snowflake light tech (Dynafit) binding in earnest, which not long after that sent the AT binding world into a tizzy by making gigantic frame bindings such as TRB and M look like Edsels. This is a classic example of handmade Scandinavian touring-style skis.
Tyrolia TRB backcountry skiing binding of 1982 is complex and heavy, but had some interesting features and was somewhat popular.īoth the Tyrolia TRB and Marker M, while amazingly full featured, rivaled the complexity of a laser printer and had the mass of a sandbag.
