Why We Like It

  • The LDN toe, short for Low, Direct, Neutral, sits the boot close to the ski for direct edge feel and a low center of gravity.
  • TÜV-certified release from 7 to 16 covers strong and heavy skiers on one model.
  • The toe adjusts to boot sole height automatically, which keeps release consistent as boots and soles wear.
  • The 7 to 16 range and brakes up to 130 mm suit wide freeride skis and heavy, fast skiers.

Best Uses

  • All-mountain resort skiing
  • Freeride and big-mountain days
  • Park and freestyle
  • Skis 75 to 130 mm underfoot

Mounting and Setup Advice

Choose the brake equal to or up to 15 mm wider than the ski waist: 90, 100, 115 or 130 mm. A certified technician should mount the binding, set release for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type, and test it.

The Multi-Norm toe takes alpine, GripWalk, Walk to Ride and ISO 9523 touring soles; some lightweight touring boots with shortened lugs will not fit, so bring your boots in before mounting.
