Why We Like It

  • The titanium toe's independent jaws let one side flex under a sideways load without the toe opening, which holds the boot through hard impacts on firm snow.
  • The heel sits on a flex plate with 8 mm of travel, so the gap between boot and heel stays consistent as the ski bends and release behaves the same through the turn.
  • 299 g per binding includes the brake, so a ski mountaineering setup keeps a brake without a large weight penalty.
  • Three climbing heights at 5.8, 8.8 and 10.6 degrees cover low-angle approaches through steep skin tracks.

Best Uses

  • Ski mountaineering
  • Long tours where weight matters
  • Spring couloirs with ski crampons
  • Fast-and-light touring
  • Narrow and mid-width touring skis

Mounting and Setup Advice

Release on the Titan Vario 2 ST is set by spring version, not a dial: 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. Choose the brake equal to or up to 15 mm wider than the ski waist: 75, 85 or 94 mm.

The binding needs a boot with certified tech inserts. The heel gives 24 mm of length adjustment, and the toe takes a ski crampon. Bring your boots in so we can confirm the insert fit and help you pick the spring version.
