Moving from G3 Targa Ascent to => ?

Jon,
I can’t answer your question. The Voile Transit is my first downhill binding that is not 75 mm. I will be skiing it with a much lighter boot than the Scarpa TXP.
Why don’t you ask your question over here:

I enjoy both forums, but post more over here. The BC Talk guys discussions are more in line with your questions.

Will have a look over there. Thanks!

Stephen & Bob,

I like the simplicity of voile transit & would give me more ROm thanks to tech toe.

Would NTN give better control (thinking crud and difficult conditions) or would the change of boot be the biggest factor ( would go from t2 to something like the txpro)

Thanks

NTN comes with tech toes (Meidjo, Lynx), or without tech toes (Outlaw X, Freedom, Freeride). The tech toe varieties should give you the tour RoM like the Transit. I'd avoid the Freedom or Freeride completely. I've found that the tech toe bindings engage quickly and have good lateral stiffness. Compared to 75mm, I think the tech toe stabilizes more than differentials in boots. The Tx Pro and comp both soften up at the bellows after a dozen or so days, so the differential in stiffness decreases though it doesn't go away. With the knee down, the raised heel may have more precision with the duck butt engaged compared to the hardwires on the Transit. For the front ski, heel down, probably pretty similar. I'm on the Meidjo, but the Lynx with Tx Pro seems like a real sweet spot. The Outlaw X with Tx Comp might be just a little more burley, skiing. I have a large friend who lves his, but he's resort only on it.

Going Transit or Lynx, you'd be on a Tx Pro anyway, so you can factor out transiting to a burlier boot regardless of binding.

Thanks! My feeling is im leaning towards the Meidjo…..
