Default 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 can be found at

Let me understand this.
-One uses 165mm inline skate boots.
-Something is screwed to the bottom of these boots? Can this be walked on?
-The boot position, where others try to be as low as possible, is rather
tall. Why so?
-Pivot location seems "tradition", why if the boot is already higher up. not
under the ball of the foot, or even "moving" through the stroke?

With all the nice designs and features, what's "the point" of this system
for you? I've been toying with this exact idea and various others, but would
like to know whatmade it worth it all to you.

Thanks, and good luck!

Looks like a dumb idea to me.

Has anybody actually tried this on snow -- especially on ruty snow?
They look a bit unstable to me.

This is the second "klap" binding/boot system we've seen for skiing.
The other, which I think goes under the name of Casco, or at least
will be sold by the same company in the USA, has apparently already
been used with some success in some races. Search Nordicskiracer.com
for it. (It lead to a rehash of the double-push, as I recall.)

Makes me love classic technique all the more. Okay if you want to
call me a retro-grouch. I'm already there.
