Product Description
Completely redesigned, re-engineered and thoroughly tested by Black Diamond this season, the new O2 tele binding offers the ultimate in downhill performance. Created for power and response, this binding incorporates a one-piece, stainless steel toe box that wraps entirely around the boot for optimum power transfer. This unique toe box extends to each mounting hole and is stiffened in critical sections for maximum strength and responsiveness. The O2's under-foot cable routing provides a progressive fluid flex and ensures there is no "hinge-point" or mechanical feel in the turn. The O2's Anti-Matter Skid Plate has a variable-height design and contours down from front to back. This angle matches the sole of tele boots and maximizes energy transfer by creating a large platform for the ball of the foot. This feature also reduces tip dive and "rocker launch." A completely redesigned and tested riser incorporates cable-exit points that are located further back than those found on the new O3 [BLD0594], to create an active, stiffer and more progressive flex pattern with the equivalent spring cartridges. A unique yoke adds lateral and torsional support, while a solid wire on the heel offers maximum durability. These two features produce an incredibly secure, highly responsive heel system. The O2 is topped off with a re-engineered heel throw that's easy to use with gloves and fits all tele-boot heel welts. K2 Insert compatible. Two climbing wires are included. ***IF YOU PLAN TO USE SCARPA BOOTS: This binding fits Scarpa men's T2's and T3's in all sizes, and women's T2's and T3's in sizes 7.5 and up. Fits Scarpa men's T1 and T-Race in sizes 6.5 and up.
Bottom Line: When downhill performance and power are key… the O2 is the binding of choice.
