On a skate, note the push button release of the toe bumper



Question for someone more in the know ... are the arms of the toe piece metal or plastic? I see a seam in the binding there, but cannot distinguish if it's a matte finish metal or regular ol' rotte plastic

It's made of acrymolydium; you can only find some north of Norway, where Game and Skog live...

Acrymolydium? Tu en as fumé du bon mon Rod:P

It looks like the binding is made out of Delrin, a polyoxymethylene from the family of polyacethal.
It could also be polyamide....

The cantilever bar looks like its made from a austenitic stainless steel

@Bri7 Any chance you could fabricate some smile plates? They are not available this year, not sure about next year.
Thanks,
Bob

Yeah, I've heard that the 2 of them have started a business together; it's called the «Xplore Knee Trembling Telemark». We will know more soon...

Hi guys!

I see it's a lot of questions about the Rottefella Xplore concepts. I can also see that it is a lot of different perceptions.
If you have any questions you want to be clarified, I'm now allowed and available to answer your questions.

The system is now public knowledge to the sports industry, and there is a pretty widespread last-phase testing going on in Norway. A lot of shops have been allowed to test the new boots, skis, and bindings. And I must say, the feedback is overwhelming and very positive in every way.

I have tested and used this system quite a lot lately, and just sent a very comprehensive test-report to ALFA and Rottefella. I have earlier stated that I'm very positive, and with the latest changes, I can say I'm REALLY confident in this system. If it can handle a season with me, it should handle a lifetime with most skiers... Just saying.

Also, here's the 2021 Åsnes Workbook for you guys:

Hi Crister @Åsnes1922
Awesome that new skis are coming! Thanks for the heads up!
Questions:

Have other boot manufacturers committed to the Xplore system?

The Sverdrup set look enticing, how would the camber and flex profile compare to the Nansen, Ingstad and Combat skis? I see that they have rocker and slightly more sidecut than the Nansen or Ingstad, but a bit narrower underfoot. I imagine that it would be very turny with this sidecut and rocker.

And what is new with the new FT62s?

Thanks
Roelant

Sweet. Sounds like you're happy with function and durability so far. More specifically how does it perform descending ? How does it compare to 75mm for lateral control ? How wide of a ski do you think it can drive ?
