Tyrolia Protector Series of Bindings

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I guess I'll just use the other ski to step on it and release moving forward, like many others do.

Don't do that! Drop one pole, use two hands, one on grip and one mid shaft, to apply accurate pressure to release and step out, .

And don’t forget to lift up your heel as you press down. The more work you do with your leg, the less you do with your arm.

The question i have is if there is zny tangible evidence yet that they are a safer binding?

Yes, this is an important part of getting out of your bindings. So many people don't think to lift their foot at the same time. I think it is a combination of not being taught correctly and a little bit of laziness.

May I ask why? Is that because stepping on with ski will make it easier to damage the bottom of the ski?
Besides, is this common for higher DIN bindings or only for Protector? Thanks.

Yep, damage base and edges. The Protector release does feel a bit tighter than my other bindings. Lifting heel while pushing down helps as well.

If you have 100 volunteers you could head up to KT22 West Face on a icy bump day and run a double blind study!

Because sharp ski edges damage the bindings ,boots and ski pants when carelessly tromped onto bindings!

I've definitely needlessly put quite a few cuts in a pair of pants so I learned to just stick with ski poles for the release.

paging @Philpug and others -
Question: what protector binding is appropriate for the Sender 94ti - [these are the skis I won for DH ] Do they all come with the rail/ adjustable fro BSL? That would be a better option to allow for ability to play with mount point and new boots.

And just to clarify from what I have read this would not be a good binding for short BSL and Din of 7+?
thanks!

I would say the Attack Protectors would be ideal. All the Protectors come on a rail for adjustability.

I'm curious why the Attack vs the PR?

Splitting hairs other that it is the Freeride oriented toe and if he can use his AT boots in it.

Is the vertical/diagonal toe release of the PR model an improvement over the Attack toe in terms of safety, given the Protector heel release on both models?

The heel is shared. The PR toe does release in a 180* span. Not all skiers are looking for that.

What is the max cms you can move the binding rearward on the powerrail while keeping the same 305mm bsl? (For them powder days...)

Depends what you are starting with, a 260BSL (or 360), nothing, a 315, maybe 3-4 cm.

Right so adjustment range is 260bsl to 380, when mounted 20cm between binding screws, which makes 320bsl the middle mount of the rail.

So for a 305bsl, if I change the mount distance between binding screws to 18.5cm, then 305bsl will be the centre of the rails, and I'll have maximum adjustment forward and rearward (+/- 6cm?) for 305BSL?

Okay so I bought the protector pr from outdoorXL, shipped with no powerRails. They insist it doesn't come with any. Where can I get powerRails separately?

 

[Slider]

Hi @coercion

In Tyrolia catalog there are two types of references for Protectors : « SET » coming with Twin rails and scews.
I believe you’ve got the other from outdoorXL…
Ask other official dealers, the rails are referenced separately. Otherwise have a look on ebay
