This will be the choice of committed skiers looking for a stiff and responsive binding. The ROTTEFELLA NTN FREERIDE is an excellent choice for bending the knee in the resort, easy to use with good safety thanks to its side release like alpine bindings.

Its modern design, compatible with the NTN standard, places the springs under the foot. The springs are adjustable with two knobs and you can customize the flex with the cartridges available separately.

You will also be able to hike on occasion with the walking position activated by a lever, the heel can be rotated 90 to serve as a wedge. Its smaller footprint and slightly heavier weight than the Freedom predestines it for freeriding, but it's still a durable and versatile model of choice.
