Binding Technologies

• Low profile Chassis: Low stand height for increased terrain feedback and enhanced power transmission.

Heel

• HD Heel
• Easy climbing aids manipulation: Ensures easy switch with the poles between climbing aid positions.

Main Material

• Carbon Loaded™ PA: A very lightweight and resistant alloy of carbon and polyamid to fulfill the need for very light weight, extreme resistance and rigidity.
• Aluminium: A rigid and strong construction that allows enhanced power transmission.
• Glass-Fiber PA: A dedicated polyamide reinforced with fiber-glass which makes bindings lighter, durable, and with more tolerance on skis.
• Steel: Super rigid, non-deforming material that meets racers’ expectations in terms of power and precision.

Pedal

• Sliding Toe pedal: A specific pedal mounted on a spring that allows lateral movements and re-centering. It allows any normed boot to release out of the binding in case of a lateral fall.
• Power Block AFD: A new micrometric, height-adjustable AFD with a single-block aluminum insert that supports the boot and provides 30% more lateral stiffness compared to previous generations.

Toe

• Hybrid Toe: Ultimate elastic travel allowing for the boots to be held back when shocks get bigger. Compatible with all the normed boots with no compromise on safety or performance.
• Elastic travel: The ultimate elastic travel on the wings. It holds the boot back when faced with bigger shocks and minimizes the risk of pre-release.
• Crampon system: Possibility to attach dedicated crampons to the binding.
• XL Wings: Long wings that envelop the tip of the boot perfectly in order to provide increased power transmission and confidence in freeride bindings.
