Voile Switchback X2 Telemark Bindings
The Voile Switchback X2 Telemark Bindings represent the pinnacle of over 35 years of telemark binding innovation from Voile. Engineered for skiers who demand serious downhill performance without sacrificing uphill efficiency, the X2 is a beefier, more powerful evolution of the legendary Voile Switchback — refined, optimized, and wrapped in a sleek, minimalist design that embodies the Voile philosophy: less is always more.
At the core of the X2's performance is Voile's time-tested approach to power transfer — rigid coiled springs, steel rods, and spring-loaded cartridges instead of flexible cables. This proven system ensures reliable, responsive turning forces under demanding conditions. The X2 takes this further with cartridge springs stiffened by 25%, a significantly lengthened toe plate for increased boot contact, and a boot pivot point relocated 26mm to the rear for enhanced leverage and control on the descent.
Borrowing from the randonnée world, the Switchback X2 features a foolproof free-pivot mode that makes uphill travel dramatically more efficient — activated with a simple flick of a ski pole. Dual-height climbing elevators further reduce fatigue on long approaches, making the X2 as capable on the skin track as it is on the slopes.
The enclosed, rivet-free, full-wrap stainless steel toe plate eliminates ice build-up and enhances durability, while the binding's overall design keeps weight to a minimum without compromising structural integrity. The X2 is sold as a pair and is not compatible with the Voile Release Kit.
