G3 Targa RX Telemark Binding: Product Review
What the TelemarkSki staff thinks... What the manufacturer's Marketing Dept. thinks... What independent testers think...
Summary - The Roxy is the same binding as the incredibly popular Targa, with a sparkly blue color and shorter cables. G3 offers an unbeatable combination of price, durability, and performance. This is our top pick for women or those with smaller boots.

G3's four hole mounting pattern is now the "industry standard". The Roxy provides an excellent combination of uphill and downhill performance in a simple design that is easy to mount and repair. A flexible cable gives the skier a natural flex and somewhat neutral feel that many skiers love, especially in softer snow.You've probably seen these bindings everywhere you've skied, and they are a solid choice for a reliable binding that feels great under foot.

The color of the Roxy matches nicely with some of the women's specific skis out there, and the shortened cable allows for use with a smaller boot.
A truly innovative telemark binding, the TARGA telemark binding comes standard with features not found on any other telemark binding - including the new rear tour throw. The heart of the TARGA's strength lies in the hardened stainless steel toe plate. Finite element models were used to optimize the strength-to-weight ratio under worst-case loading conditions (i.e. your ugliest digger). Large corner radii and dual stiffening embossments make the TARGA toe plate the strongest available.

Couloir: "The G3 Targa is once again our pick for Editor's Choice - Proven Performance..Functional both on the up and the down, they are the benchmark of neutral, single-pivot performance. Testers liked the smooth forward flex and were really enthusiastic about Targas in soft snow. They're easy to install, easy to adjust, and the plastic plate prevents snow buildup underfoot. Tried and true for most. The Targa's classic neutral flex engagement requires solid skills to push big boots and skis, especially in challenging snow conditions..If the sheer number of G3's already mounted on skis isn't testament enough to their mass appeal, how 'bout the fact that the first telemark skis with mounting inserts use the G3 mounting pattern?"

Backcountry magazine:
".Targa's simplicity and reliability has made it the most popular binding on the market. With a clean design that is easy to adjust and service, features like their anti-icing toe plate, and four types of compression spring cartridges, this cable binding is a favorite among straight-liners and powder-miners who appreciate a more neutral feeling binding."
