Reviews
"The best tele touring rig of the test, hands down." "The Axl locks down into ski mode and provides the strongest and hardest charging telemark binding on the market." "This is THE binding for maximum downhill performance and touring efficiency."
-Backcountry Magazine
"Ever since I first skied the 22 Designs Hammerhead, all I ever wanted in a telemark bindingthe mythical Tele Grail be damnedwas a free pivoting version. It took almost a decade, but 22 Designs has finally delivered. In the intervening years every other extant telemark binding company has managed to offer a touring model. However, none of them ski like a Hammerhead. Axl does."
