Ski Trab Attacco Titan Vario 2 Binding

The Ski Trab Attacco Titan Vario 2 Binding is a light pin binding for ski mountaineers who want strong retention and release that holds steady as the ski flexes, without a brake. The titanium toe's independent jaws let one side flex without the toe opening, and the gapless heel rides on a plate with 8 mm of travel, with fixed release sold in 5 to 7, 7 to 9 and 9 to 11 versions. At 250 g per binding, with climbing positions at 8.7 and 10.5 degrees plus flat and 24 mm of length adjustment, the Titan Vario 2 suits ski mountaineering, long tours and steep spring lines.

Why We Like It

  • Independent toe jaws let one side flex under a sideways load without opening the toe, which holds the boot through hard impacts.
  • The gapless heel sits on a plate with 8 mm of travel, so release behaves the same as the ski bends through a turn.
  • Three spring versions cover release values from 5 to 11, chosen at purchase to match the skier.
  • 24 mm of heel adjustment and a crampon attachment at the toe make it a practical ski mountaineering binding.

Best Uses

  • Ski mountaineering
  • Long tours where weight matters
  • Steep spring lines
  • Skiers who use leashes
  • Narrow and mid-width touring skis

Mounting and Setup Advice

Release is set by spring version: 5 to 7, 7 to 9 or 9 to 11. Choose the version that covers the release value a shop calculates for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type. The binding has no brake, so use a leash; the Titan Vario 2 ST adds a brake.

The binding needs certified tech inserts. Bring your boots in so we can confirm insert fit and set the heel on its plate.
