7tm History

7tm has been founded in the season 1999/2000 by Reinhold Zoor, an engineer which has developed the Silvretta Easy Go and many other suggessful wintersport products

The 7tm All Mountain was the first Telemark binding with a release system proven by the German TUV according to DIN/ISO standards.

7tm XR telemark bindings provides highest performance - best for competition, icy slopes, high speed and in all terrain!

Due to the XR springs, the heel re-tension system of the 7tm power XR is much more active now.

Here are the 7tm XR facts:

a modern design that nevertheless has the looks of a telemark binding, combined with a reliable, trendsetting technique and crafted out of solid steal materials.

little overall weight of 1350 Power XR/ 1550 Power Tour XRgrams/pair

well dimensioned standing height above the ski: 23/33 mm as a standard; an optional raiser plate lifts the binding for another 10 mm, to an overall height of 33/43 mm.

DIN proved safety mechanism: the 7tm is the first and only product of this category which has a standardized by the German TÜV/GS, side and front release technique.

no tools required for the adjustment of length and heel pressure: a simple rim screw adapts boot sizes from UK 6 to 11.5.

a typical telemark ski leash works as a security device after a binding release

additional accessories: climbing heels, ski brakes, crampons,

2004

7tm has invented the Power Tour which was the first telemark touring binding in the world with a touring mechanism and a TÜV DIN certified and proven release modus.

This was a big brake through in the telemark binding business. All touring modus bindings came afterwards. This invention made telemark skiing and skinning up much more secure, because if somebody was cought in an avalanche, the binding could release and the chance to get out oft he avalanche was much higher now, because the ski is not working as an anker now. Now it was also possible to make a „Sptzkehre“ with telemark and also a crampon could be used.

Once you are in the uphill mode, the pivot point of the toe cup is right at the tip of your boot – similar to an Alpine Touring binding. This means less resistance and more energy for making turns.

Skinning uphill with the 7tm-PowerTour - compared with a traditional tele binding - saves as much energy per 100 m vertical ascent as if you were to lift approx 11Kg.

2006

all 7tm’s now are available with a StepIn mechanism. This makes it very easy to enter the 7tm and no scurity leash fort he heel is needed anymore.
