AUSkier7 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I am looking to tryout a RTP setup on my V-Type. I was thinking Wiley's RTP. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegile Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Wise choice. The Wiley RTP gives some of the best lateral support out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted July 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2017 I can't make a pass on a toe kicker. I can't get up on a double boot. I made a hardshell that I could kick in with the liner on my off foot. I love it, I can slalom again. It's not an off the shelf product.

Baller Chef23 Posted July 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2017 I like the HO RTP. I prefer ones that don't adjust as I am a dragged and they are easier to kick into. The molded footbed on the HO helps hold your foot in place. I haven't used the Wiley one but I wasn't crazy about the Radar RTP my foot tended to slide around.

dhofert Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I had the same problem as @Chef23 with my foot sliding around so I went with a HRT on my new ski and couldn't be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 +1 on HRT. Like it much better than standard RTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted July 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2017 I prefer the Radar RTP's as they have a formed footbed rather than just being a flat hunk of rubber that your heel slides around on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ralph Lee Posted July 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2017 It's complete luck if you can find a RTP without customizing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bigskieridaho Posted July 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2017 I have an HO RTP on my V Type. Tight at first, but great now that I have a few sets on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted July 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2017 I've used a D3 RTP for a zillion years and very happy with same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Justin_C Posted July 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2017 I use the HO adjustable rtp. I really like it. I don't know how many times I've crashed and still can't believe both feet stay in! Mind you I have had a few complete dismounts thrown in there...

Baller dropski Posted July 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2017 I have a Wiley rtp on my VType. It's bare bones , durable and simple as you can get. You won't have to worry about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two2one Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I had a rather too spectacular dismount losing balance crossing the second wake pushing too hard for the 4th after being late on the 3rd and getting out of shape. My right foot came out of the RTP and I completed the the crash by having my left foot ripped sideways and forwards out of the front Wiley ... ending up with an broken ankle. That was 3 weeks ago, still on crutches still with a swollen foot and knowing that's this season gone. I really want to ski again, but can't see me getting onto that setup again. It will always be in my mind. Considering all other binding setups now (except RTP + wiley) Any recommendations as to what you would consider the safest setup that will release before an ankle gets busted? pros and cons for Radar/Reflex - double release etc ? Any advice appreciated. The front binding may have been too tight for me, but having gone through the last three weeks of pain, I can't imagine ever skiing in a Wiley with RTP again.

Baller MattP Posted July 29, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 29, 2017 @two2one you should talk with @mmosley899 at MOB . I believe it is the safest system on the market for RTP users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Justin_C Posted July 29, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 29, 2017 @two2one that's why I like the adjustable. I crank it pretty tight and then leave my front)(Radar Profile) semi loose on top and snug on bottom. No problem ejecting when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rayn Posted July 29, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 29, 2017 +1 on the fixed HO rtp. Loyal user for 15 years. Well made. Good footbed. Doesn't stretch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skialex Posted July 30, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2017 I like my D3 standard toe loop, over 10 years old still good as new. They don't make Standard any more but I have a spare so I guess I'm covered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mazda Posted April 11, 2022 Baller Share Posted April 11, 2022 @eleeski Like you I cannot ski with an rtp and trying to avoid getting up with 2 feet in (back issues). Can you please share how you modified your rear boot that allows to kick in once up? Any advice on the subject from the shared experience on this forum is greatly appreciated.

Baller eleeski Posted April 11, 2022 Baller Share Posted April 11, 2022 Remove the cuff and clips of a hardshell boot. Cut down the back and use a heat gun to open up the back even a little more. Replace the clip with an elastic strap (old binding rubber). Put your liner on your back foot and wrap it on your foot with a rubber band (old racing bike innertube). It takes some effort to kick in but feels great when in. My front boot releases easily so I'm a "both out" skier now. One foot starts aren't magic - I missed one of three starts yesterday and barely made the other two (but that's not bad for my first slalom ride on the new hip).
