Product Description
Manufacturer's Description: The Silvretta Pure Free Ride Alpine Touring Binding proves that you don't have to haul a huge binding uphill to huck on the descents. Silvretta beefs up their popular Pure Binding, raising the DIN to 12 but keeping their unique pivot point under the ball of your foot for a natural, comfortable stride with less moving parts. The Silvretta Pure Freeride still weighs in at only 1780g—significantly less than other AT bindings that also crank up to 12. The Pure Free Ride AT Binding is made for easy operation when you're marching to the untracked snow. Choose from two heel elevator heights and a flat position that compliments the easy stride of the Pure Freeride Binding for flatland traveling. The Pure Freeride only works with AT dedicated boots because of the positioning of the pivot point. With few moving parts and extremely stiff lateral construction, the Pure Freeride is a reliable, confidence inspiring backcountry binding.

Nice DesignThe free rides move very naturally in touring mode. Very much like snowshoes. I'm also able to skate with the heels unlocked - not easy for most AT bindings.
I'd recommend these to skiers looking for light weight, but strong bindings - with the possible exception of heavy skiers.
