Rottefella NTN F...
You now have two choices when it comes to telemark bindings: 75mm (traditional duckbill) and the newer NTN. The former is favored for its simplicity, lower cost, and greater variety of boot choices, but NTN is vastly more powerful and releasable, and it’s better-suited to driving today’s fattest skis. The Rottefella Freedom binding, designed to mate with Scarpa’s Terminator X boot, combines the best of both worlds, with 75mm weight and tourability and NTN power.
2013 Winter Buyer's Guide

BEST FOR: The bigger-is-better crowd.
THE TEST: The Axl is burly enough to drive any ski, but what sets it apart is a simple, durable touring pivot. On descents, testers noted that the stainless-steel toepiece offered unbelievable lateral power and predictable response, particularly in tough conditions. Three cable positions let every skier dial in their preferred tension.
THE VERDICT: Pair it with big boots to take full advantage of the power and precision. 3.8 lbs
Tourability: 3.5
Power: 4.5
