Dynafit Mezzalama Skimo Race Binding
The Dynafit Mezzalama Skimo Race Binding is a race-weight binding for skimo racers, ski mountaineers and training skiers who want release they can set rather than accept. Lateral and vertical release both adjust from 5 to 10, uncommon at race weight, and the optional 33 g brake doubles as the heel riser for one-motion transitions. At 125 g per binding with ice breaker toe pins, a crampon slot and an optional adjustment plate, the Mezzalama suits race training, technical ski mountaineering and fast fitness laps.

Why We Like It
- Lateral and vertical release both adjust from 5 to 10, so a shop can match the setting to the skier instead of relying on a fixed spring.
- 125 g per binding in aluminum and carbon keeps the Mezzalama in race territory.
- The optional 33 g brake doubles as the heel riser, so locking the brake and setting climbing mode is one motion.
- A crampon slot and ice breaker toe pins make it practical for technical ski mountaineering as well as racing.
Best Uses
- Skimo race training
- Technical ski mountaineering
- Fast fitness laps
- Racers who want adjustable release
Mounting and Setup Advice
Have a shop set lateral and vertical release for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type. Add the 33 g brake for races that require one, and ski with a leash whenever the brake is off.
The heel has no length adjustment as standard, so mount to one boot or add the optional adjustment plate. The Mezzalama needs boots with certified tech inserts.
