Why We Like It

  • Lateral release adjusts from 2 to 5 with a screwdriver, with no parts to swap.
  • The AutoFlex system adds spring-loaded travel at the heel so ski flex does not pull the boot out.
  • 50 mm of length adjustment covers a wide range of boots, useful for a shared ski.
  • Climbing aids at 7 and 13 degrees flip over the pins with a pole, so you never rotate the heel to climb.

Best Uses

  • All-mountain touring
  • Everyday backcountry days
  • Shared or family skis
  • Skiers needing low release settings

Mounting and Setup Advice

A shop should set lateral release from 2 to 5 and confirm the fixed vertical release suits your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type, then test it after mounting.

Choose the brake equal to or up to 15 mm wider than the ski waist: 90, 100 or 110 mm. The heel gives 50 mm of length adjustment, and the binding needs boots with certified tech inserts.
