Binding Technologies

• Easy climbing aids manipulation: Ensures easy switch with the poles between climbing aid positions.
• 3-Part Power heel: A reinforced 3-part heel with a metal lever and 16 mm of elastic travel ensures powerful energy transmission and precise control.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• XL Wings: Long wings that envelop the tip of the boot perfectly in order to provide increased power transmission and confidence in freeride bindings.
• 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.
