The toe piece is different. The "new style toe piece " is the wtr. It's one of those things where your traditional alpine boot will fit in either toe piece. But to get the functionality of the wtr toe piece you need a wtr boot.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the WTR toe piece is also plastic, while the regular Pivot is metal.

i'm not 100% sure but i think WTR means Walk To Ride. it's just some extra pieces to make it better for touring. it doesn't make any difference as i've heard tho.

Only the 18 is metal

Yup, the real upgrade is that it can accommodate both styles of alpine and touring boots. Nothing fancy. If you can find older versions for cheaper, and this walk to ride feature isn't required for you, then go with the older ones.

Then why is the WTR retail price lower?

Hi guys, I had a lot of regular Pivot bindings mounted on my skis, but today ski-master mounted Pivot WTR's on my new skis, and I found that in Alpine mode white plate on upper bottom part of tips is sliding left and right (like in YouTube video below on 1:43), what is it and is all OK?

Thats the AFD or anti friction device which allows the toe of the boot to release easier. They slide on marker bindings as well. This difference was necessary from the wtr and non-wtr pivots to allow rubber soled wtr boots to release smoothly and consistently.

Thanks a lot for great explanation!
