New XC Binding System from 'CadoMotus' out Winter 07-08
The Nordic Norm method of binding the boot to the ski-using a front-
only binding-has evolved in various modern bindings. Today's NNN, SNS Profil and SNS Pilot binding systems are all subtle variants of the Nordic Norm using semi-soft boots and pivot axes to achieve desired levels of ski control and plantar flexion-while remaining largely incompatible with each other. The "skating" or "free" technique of cross-country, the fastest and most effective movement pattern, has brought about refinements in design of skis and bindings. Drawing on extensive klapskate, Nordic Blading and Speedskating experience, Skate sport company CadoMotus has developed a new style of boot and binding for XC free skiing. Fitting on common binding mounting points (SNS/NNN), with no ski- modification required - the CadoMotus XC Binding accepts 165mm mount- length skate boots with 22mm fore/aft adjustment for biomechanically efficient positioning of the clap hinge under ball of the foot. A unique step-in system allows the user to literally switch ski's in seconds - enabling athletes to select the fastest ski setup they have pre-prepared for the event temperature and snow conditions - just moments before the start if necessary. The Binding system, developed with input from Olympic alpine athletes, is available in a limited release for Winter 2007-08. More information on the system and its development (including pictures) can be found at http://cadomotus.blogspot.com/2007/0...velopment.html and at http://www.cadomotus.com |
