Skiing magazine:
'06 "The hefty might value its max DIN, but testers were most impressed with the Naxo's torsional rigidity and power transfer--thanks to the aluminum-reinforced toe-- and heelpieces and stiff underfoot bars. They're heavier than the competition, but you'll stay in the game with three heel heights and a clever pivot."
'07 "Naxo's workhorse accommodates any ski-and-boot match-up in the alpine world. It's a little clunky in touring mode, but look for impressive torsional rigidity and power transfer when you turn around and ski. An effortless length adjustment makes it simple to rule the inbounds in your Langes, and then swap them for long backcountry days in your touring boots."
Powder Magazine: "Just four years old, Naxo has managed to build a name synonymous with performance and dependability. On the downhill, the NX21 feels like a full alpine binding with a partial metal toe piece and low stack height. With the 13 DIN retention, aggressive turns and taking air are encouraged. On the way up, the triple-pivot touring action is smooth and fluid.. An adjustable toe height will accommodate lugged soles of touring boots, and a wide range of adjustability will let your friends try out your rig."
Backcountry magazine: "The
nx21 felt solid going downhill with no slop. Skis flexed
naturally and edge feel was firm and precise. The Downhill
Lock isn't worth the added weight and trouble of fumbling
with the mechanism for the small piece of mind it provides.
Going uphill I loved the Naxo stride, particularly on
rolling terrain in soft snow. Even with downhill boots,
the stride felt natural. This design fell short on steep
side-hills on hard snow, where the two front pivots could
flex laterally, leading to a loss of edge grip. Overall,
great bindings for aggressive skiers riding fat skis."
