The Lynx is our lightweight NTN tech-toe hiking binding.   It features composite flex plates, adjustable preload and flex, and a lightweight, durable design.  Built in the USA with machined aluminum parts, an easy-to-switch ski/walk mode and lightweight springs with plenty of travel, it's the new standard in lightweight touring for telemark bindings.  Recommended for setups that will spend at least 80-90% of their time in the backcountry.
 The tech-toe design allows for hiking without adding weight to the binding, allowing skiers to keep up with even their spandex-clad AT brethren.  But because it's a 22 Designs binding, skiers get the durability they expect and the reward of smooth, powerful tele turns on the way down.
 A single press puts the binding into free pivot mode.  Once at the top, ski mode is also easily activated by the pole, remove the skins and let it go!
 The Lynx 21-22 features an improved claw, with a lifting lip that makes it easier to flip the claw with the pole handle at the top of the ski slope.  Additionally, the low-profile double-chamfer arms save weight and the springs are longer for better durability.  The Small Lynx now have a softer flex thanks to softer main and flex plates.
