The Dynafit DNA+ Race Binding is pure skimo race DNA: stripped down, brutally efficient, and unapologetically fast. Weighing in at roughly 128 g per side, it combines aluminum, carbon, and steel to hit that sweet spot between absurdly light and race-day reliable. Designed for dedicated skimo racers, the DNA+ is ISMF-certified and built around speed in transitions. The integrated brake and race flap system keeps things clean and one-handed so you’re not burning seconds (or patience) fumbling with gear. Step in, flip, go. On snow, this binding feels precise and immediate. Low stack height and a race-style, largely fixed release give you a very direct connection to the ski. It’s efficient uphill, decisive on the descent, and very clear about what it’s for. Comfort cruising is not the mission here. Details matter at this level, and Dynafit nailed them. Ice-breaker pins help with stubborn step-ins, the crampon slot is race-ready for firm or icy courses, and optional adjustment plates let you swap boots between training and race setups without remounting. This is not a “do-everything” binding, and that’s the point. If your winter revolves around start lines, vert totals, FKTs and shaving grams wherever possible, the DNA+ is exactly the kind of focused, no-nonsense tool you want underfoot. Fast up. Clean transitions. Sharp down. Race on.
