Description
The Dynafit DNA is a 96 g skimo race binding in aluminum and carbon with fixed, lockable release and an optional 33 g brake that doubles as the heel riser.
Dynafit DNA Skimo Race Binding
The Dynafit DNA Skimo Race Binding is a race binding for competitive skimo racers who measure transitions in seconds and gear by the gram. Milled aluminum and carbon keep the binding at 96 g per binding, and the optional 33 g brake doubles as the heel riser, so one flip of the heel unit locks the brake and sets climbing mode. With fixed release that can be locked for racing, ice breaker toe pins and a crampon slot, the DNA suits ISMF racing, vertical races and race-day skis.

Why We Like It
- 96 g per binding in milled aluminum and carbon puts the DNA at the light end of race bindings.
- The optional 33 g brake doubles as the heel riser, so locking the brake and setting climbing mode is one motion.
- Release works both laterally and vertically and can be locked manually, which meets ISMF binding requirements.
- Ice breaker toe pins clear the boot inserts on step-in, which matters when a transition has to work first try.
Best Uses
- ISMF skimo racing
- Vertical races
- Race-day ski setups
- Elite uphill training
Mounting and Setup Advice
The DNA has fixed lateral and vertical release that cannot be adjusted. Racers choose it for weight; skiers who tour or ski resort laps should choose an adjustable binding. Add the 33 g brake if your race requires one, and ski with a leash whenever the brake is off.
The heel has no length adjustment as standard, so mount to your race boot, or add the optional adjustment plate if you switch boots. The DNA needs boots with certified tech inserts; race boots are the natural pairing.
