The Voilé
UltraVector Backcountry adds a Voilé Traction Pattern Base to the
reliably-efficient UltraVector and helps the adventurous backcountry
skier get even further into the hinterland—especially when a long
approach is required. The UltraVector BC does not eliminate the need to
carry skins into the backcountry, but once at the apex, skiers can
expect downhill turning akin to the original UltraVector on steeper
slopes and get a buzz (hear a hum) on lesser slopes.
Early-Rise Camber
Tip: Early-rise tip and wide shovel provide excellent float in powder.
Tail: Minimal taper, with a wide and flat hard-working tail for control
in debris and harder conditions.
Waist: Long running length. Engineered for strong edging ability when fast and steep. Cambered underfoot for stability.
Poplar / Single
Carbon / BC Durable and damp poplar construction with triaxial
fiberglass for uncompromising performance inbounds or off-piste.
Traction Pattern "BC" scalebase has been included underfoot to allow for
fewer transitions when traversing rolling terrain.

If Sondre Norheim could have skied the Voilé X2 Telemark Binding, he might never have left the mountains of Norway for the flatlands of North Dakota.
The
X2 sums up 35 years of telemark binding innovation and evolution from
Voilé. One of the hallmarks of that body of work is our consistent
abandonment of the use of flexible (and breakable) cables. Stranded
wires may be great for moving electrons, but for transferring turning
forces to a ski, our own tenet of rigid coiled springs, steel rods and
spring-loaded cartridges has more than proven itself over time.
In 2007, we took a cue from the randonnée world and introduced the now-legendary, Voilé Switchback,
a telemark binding with a foolproof, free-pivot option that greatly
facilitates climbing. (And does so with the simple flick of a ski pole.)
Built
on the success of the Switchback, the X2 is a beefier, more-active,
binding—but still an uphill wonder. And wrapped up in a sleek,
minimalist design that a Scandinavian would admire and that lives up to a
Voilé credo: Less is ALWAYS more.
Optimized
for maximum power transfer, the X2 is augmented with stiffer
cartridges, a much-longer toe plate and a boot pivot point relocated
26mm to the rear. The happy result is a powerful binding with superb
downhill performance and the added efficiency of much-easier uphill
travel. With regard to the latter, the X2 and Switchback, as well as our
3-Pin Hardware, all feature dual-height climbing elevators.
When
you reach the top of your toil, just “switch back” to the X2’s downhill
mode, and you’ll soon be making turns that would even make Sondre
jealous.
