Freeride Hybrid Touring Binding

CAST Freetour 2.0 Pivot 15 Touring Binding

The CAST Freetour 2.0 Pivot 15 Touring Binding is a hybrid touring binding for freeride skiers who want full alpine release on the descent and still plan to earn some of their runs. A Look Pivot 15 in CAST configuration skis the way down with a 6 to 15 release, an all-metal toe with 45 mm of elastic travel and a turntable heel, and at the top of the skin track the alpine toe swaps for a light tech toe. At 1,000 g per binding while touring and 1,340 g while skiing, with climbing bails at 8 and 12 degrees, the Freetour 2.0 Pivot 15 suits freeride touring, sidecountry laps and big-mountain days that start with a climb.

Why We Like It

  • On the descent the Freetour 2.0 is a Look Pivot 15 on CAST hardware, so you ski a 6 to 15 release, an all-metal toe with 45 mm of elastic travel and a turntable heel that releases around the tibia.
  • The alpine toe lifts off its base plate and a machined aluminum tech toe goes on for the climb, which drops the weight on the ski to 1,000 g per binding.
  • Two AFDs come in the kit: the standard plate takes alpine and GripWalk soles, and a second plate takes fully rockered touring soles.
  • Climbing bails set 8 and 12 degrees, and a larger brake retainer holds the brake up on the skin track.

Best Uses

  • Freeride touring and sidecountry
  • Big-mountain skiers who tour to their lines
  • Resort laps with backcountry access
  • Heavier and aggressive skiers
  • One alpine binding for resort and backcountry

Mounting and Setup Advice

Choose the brake equal to or up to 15 mm wider than the ski waist: 95, 105 or 115 mm. Carry the alpine toe in your pack while touring, clear snow from the toe plate before swapping it back, and confirm the toe is locked before the descent. A shop should set the 6 to 15 release for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type, then test it after mounting.

Set the AFD to your sole: the standard plate for alpine and GripWalk boots, the touring plate for fully rockered touring soles. The tech toe needs a boot with certified tech toe inserts. Bring your boots in so we can fit the right AFD and set the release.

What boots work with the CAST Freetour 2.0 Pivot 15 Touring Binding?

The tech toe used for touring needs a boot with certified tech (pin) toe inserts. Telemark and NTN boots are not compatible.
How do you switch the Freetour 2.0 between touring and skiing?
Swap the toe pieces. The alpine toe lifts off the base plate and the tech toe takes its place for the climb, then the alpine toe goes back on for the descent. Clear snow from the plate before each swap and confirm the toe is locked before skiing.
What is the release range on the Freetour 2.0 Pivot 15?
6 to 15, vertical and lateral, with the alpine toe installed, set at the toe and heel like any Look Pivot 15. A shop should set and test it for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type.

Our Verdict

The CAST Freetour 2.0 Pivot 15 Touring Binding puts a full Look Pivot 15 on a touring ski, with a 6 to 15 release, 45 mm of toe travel and a turntable heel for the descent, and a tech toe that cuts the weight on the ski to 1,000 g per binding for the climb. Toe swaps make transitions slower than a binding that changes modes in place. Skiers who want the fastest transitions should look at the Shift²; skiers who want no compromise on the descent should start here.
