Don't think you'll find much on the ramp angle as there doesn't seem to be alot of people using these for downhill-oriented stuff...
That said, here's a thread on the Silvretta Pure. But I guess you could do your own search, too.

Not calling you stupid, but you know the deal around here, surely, when people post such threads. At least say that you "already searched" to indicate you put in some time trying to find an answer. You did ask for "comments from users about these bindings" which implies that no search was done, as a basic search reveals many threads with Pures at least mentioned in there.
That said, I did answer the question by doing a search and finding out that you're not likely to find anything on ramp angle due to few people using them (at least around here).
pure FR has negative ramp (toe higher than heel).
that ain't crickets in my book

More slop than the Dynafit (natch)...probably more than the Fritschis & Naxos.
Negative ramp angle = good for going up? Hm.
Negative b/c the AFD is so far forward that the rockered AT boot toe at that point is much higher than the heel. (Silvretta Pure compatability with alpine downhill boots would seem to be questionable.) So the effective delta imparted to an AT boot might be entirely neutral. (Anyone measure this?)Quote:
