| Bomber Tele Bishop Telemark
Binding: Product Review |
|
|
| What the TelemarkSki staff thinks... |
What the manufacturer's Marketing Dept. thinks... |
What independent testers think... |
Not for the weak kneed or faint of heart. The Bishop is a serious telemark binding for the serious (and aggressive) telemark skier. If setting speed records and hucking yourself is your forte, this may be the binding for you. Best suited for strong and experienced skiers with big skis and stiff boots.
Compatible with NTN boots and K2 ski inserts! |
Bomber Industries has been manufacturing high quality plate bindings since 1992. Our response to the growing demand for a better telemark binding is the Bomber “Bishop” Telemark binding. Sure, it’s strong and has the looks of a machined work of art, but performance and adjustability is what separates it from the other guys.
Our goal: enjoying your day on the hill without worrying about your equipment not performing or, worse, failing. If you share this vision, then welcome to the Bomber “Bishop”.
New for 2007: This is now the sixth season for the Bishops and we keep improving it through user feedback. You wanted a new Toe Block, you got it. You wanted stiffer springs, you got it. You wanted a climbing wire - you got it! See all the features for the 2006/07 Bishop here. |
Couloir: "Want power at the upper end of the scale plus the torsional rigidity of a plate binding? The Bishop is the answer, and it doesn't just reduce rocker launch, it eliminates it."
Powder Magazine: "The primary drawback of all cable bindings is their general lack of lateral stiffness, meaning you lose energy on your uphill ski during a turn. It's especially more pronounced with big skis and heavy boots. The guys at Bomber feel they have the answer in the Bishop, their all-metal plate binding. The plate allows you to put all of your energy and power into an edge. The Bishop also has a movable pivot point, so you can adjust its activity. Available in a titanium version, which weighs less but, gulp, costs $420."
Skiing magazine: "Zealously engineered out of aluminum and stainless steel (the heel throw doubles as a bottle opener), the Bishops were the most aggressive rattrap in our test. They're rigid from side to side, take a lot of heft to flex, and transfer power well. And they're compatible with the new NTN boots." |
