7tm Power Tour: “In 2003 the tm Tour was the first binding to offer both a free pivot and reliable release, two keys for trekking in avalanche country. Originally, it was a neutral-skiing binding, but with a small bar of strategically placed steel, it now drives with aplomb, hence the Power moniker attached two seasons ago. And it still offers the largest free-pivot range of motion, a full 65°. And performance? One tester out it like this: “Powerful enough to ski any line and with engagement as smooth as the individual wants it to be. The most versatile binding out there.” This year, 7tm offers an optional step-in heel lever. Though it tips the scales at over four pounds, providing all these features in one package seems a reasonable tradeoff.
