I need to test with multiple dambber hardness on end during winter but even with current ones it feels good.
Much lighter than plate, but still lot of equal benefits.
It works for slalom board well, but for GS I still prefer traditional floating plate.

I agree, the TD1 (if I'm not wrong) had only the disc without any suspension at its ends (toe and heel).
This new test-system, as far as I see, has got the suspensions on its ends and... this splits the pressure along the whole binding, not only in the centre (as the original td1)...
This could be a good idea, even if I fear that, with the use, the suspensions could loose their shape producing room between suspension and board (so this could create again the situation of the old TD1 that destroied the boards).
Who knows?
