# Electronic Ski Bindings Rottefella's Nordic Ski Bindings are Electronically Adjustable By Joey Haar | Published 2017-04-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rottefella References: [digitaltrends](http://www.digitaltrends.com/outdoors/semcon-electronic-ski-binding/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [rottefella](https://www.rottefella.com/cross-country-skiing/ski/xcelerator-pro-classic) Norway is the premier [cross-country skiing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ski-mountaineering-team) nation worldwide — so much so that the sport is also known as [Nordic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/identity-verifications) skiing — and Norwegian company Rottefella has appropriately developed an innovation in that winter pastime. The company has created a [Nordic binding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k2-ski-collection) that can be adjusted electronically, allowing both competitive and leisurely skiers to more conveniently prepare themselves as the terrain changes. As opposed to downhill skiing, cross-country requires both gliding down hills and skating up them. In order to gain grip for uphill climbs, skiers prefer to have their bindings farther forward, while bindings farther back are better for downhill sprints. In the past, these adjustments would have to be made with tools in the shop, but now skiers can tinker with Rottefella's new bindings without even having to take off their skis. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Electronically Adjustable Ski Bindings:** New electronically adjustable ski bindings provide convenience and flexibility for skiers on different terrains. - **Innovation in Nordic Skiing:** Rottefella's electronic ski bindings bring a new level of convenience and performance to the sport of Nordic skiing. - **Enhancing Skiing Experience:** Electronic ski bindings allow skiers to easily adjust their bindings without needing to stop and make physical adjustments. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sporting Goods:** The sporting goods industry can leverage electronic ski bindings to offer improved products and enhance the skiing experience for customers. - **Winter Sports:** In the winter sports industry, the introduction of electronically adjustable ski bindings can revolutionize the way cross-country skiing is approached and enjoyed. - **Outdoor Recreation:** The outdoor recreation industry can benefit from the innovation of electronic ski bindings by providing skiers with a more convenient and adaptable equipment option. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Snow-Ready Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hf-boot-collection.md) - [Motorized Skier Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eskimo.md) - [Off-Course Skier Support Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skiavec.md) - [High-Performance Carbon Ski Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hispeed-boot.md) - [All Terrain Electric Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skwheel-one.md) - [Intuitive Fastening Ski Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salomon-spro-supra-boa-ski-boots.md) - [Folding Travel-Friendly Winter Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-skis.md) - [Aftermarket Air-Spring Skier Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shredshox.md) - [Luxe Limited-Edition Ski Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phaenom-ski-boots.md)
