Dynafit Low Tech Race 105 Skimo Race Binding

The Dynafit Low Tech Race 105 Skimo Race Binding is a race binding for skimo racers and fast training laps where every gram on the foot counts. The toe is forged 7075 aluminum, a high-strength aerospace alloy, mounted on a wide hole pattern for stiffness and pull-out strength, and the heel uses separate steel pins in a metal-reinforced housing rather than a single U-spring. At 105 g per binding with fixed release and no brake, the Low Tech Race 105 suits race skis, uphill training setups and fast laps with a leash.

Why We Like It

  • 105 g per binding keeps race skis light without giving up a forged aluminum toe.
  • The heel runs separate steel pins in a metal-reinforced housing instead of a U-spring, a layout that resists the wear of repeated race transitions.
  • A wide toe hole pattern spreads load into the ski for stiffer edge control and better resistance to pull-out.
  • An optional adjustment plate adds 20 mm of length range for racers who switch between race and training boots.

Best Uses

  • Skimo racing
  • Vertical races and uphill training
  • Race-weight ski mountaineering setups
  • Fast dawn laps

Mounting and Setup Advice

The Low Tech Race 105 has fixed lateral and vertical release, so there is no setting to adjust. Racers accept that trade for weight; touring skiers usually should not. Many race formats now require a brake, which this version does not have, so check your race rules before mounting, and use a leash on every non-race day.

Without the optional adjustment plate the heel has no length adjustment, so mount it to one boot. Add the plate if you switch between race and training boots. The binding needs boots with certified tech inserts, and race boots are the natural pairing.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Dynafit Low Tech Race 105 Skimo Race Binding?
The Dynafit Low Tech Race 105 Skimo Race Binding suits skimo racers and fast-and-light skiers building a race or training setup. At 105 g per binding with fixed release and no brake, the Low Tech Race 105 is built for the course rather than everyday touring.
What boots work with the Dynafit Low Tech Race 105 Skimo Race Binding?
The Low Tech Race 105 is a pin/tech binding and works with boots that have certified tech (pin) inserts, typically ISO 9523 (Touring) soles. Boots without tech inserts, including ISO 5355 (Alpine) and GripWalk (ISO 23223) boots without inserts, are not compatible. Check your boot for tech inserts at the toe and heel before ordering.
Can I adjust the release on the Low Tech Race 105?
No. Lateral and vertical release are fixed. Skiers who want a release value they can set should look at the Mezzalama, which adjusts from 5 to 10.
Does the Low Tech Race 105 meet race brake rules?
Not on its own. ISMF rules began requiring brakes in the 2021/22 season, and this version has no brake. Check the rules for your race before you mount it.
Does the Low Tech Race 105 have length adjustment?
Not as standard. The optional adjustment plate adds 20 mm of length range for skiers who switch between boots.
How much does the Low Tech Race 105 weigh?
105 g per binding.

Our Verdict

The Dynafit Low Tech Race 105 Skimo Race Binding is a light, sturdy race binding for racers who have made peace with fixed release. A forged aluminum toe on a wide hole pattern and a pin-style heel in a reinforced housing give it more strength than its 105 g per binding suggests. Racers who need a brake or an adjustable setting should look at the DNA or Mezzalama; racers who want a durable training and race binding should start here.
