22 Designs Outlaw X NTN Telemark Binding

The 22 Designs Outlaw X NTN Telemark Binding is an all-around NTN binding for telemark skiers who tour and ride lifts on the same setup. A free-pivot tour mode gives 50 degrees of resistance-free range for the climb, and the long main spring under a steel plate engages at the start of the turn, with preload adjustable across five settings. At 796 g per binding in a Small with climbers, with a Double Up heel climber and brakes available separately, the Outlaw X suits backcountry telemark, resort days and skiers moving to NTN.

  • Preload adjusts across five settings, and the springs engage at the start of the turn.
  • Step-in entry and a pole-activated release make getting in and out quick.

Best Uses

  • Backcountry telemark
  • Resort and backcountry on one setup
  • Skiers moving from 75 mm to NTN
  • Telemark skiers who want brakes
  • NTN boots in two sizes

Mounting and Setup Advice

Sizes run Small and Large by boot: Small fits Scarpa and Crispi NTN 26.0 and below, Large fits 26.5 and above; for Scott and Garmont, Small fits 25.5 and below. Brakes are sold separately in 95, 110 and 125 mm.

The Outlaw X can release laterally, but release is not guaranteed, so ski it with that in mind. Bring your boots in so we can confirm the size and mount.
