Why We Like It
- At 120 g per binding, the Race 120 is light enough for racing yet built for skiers up to 90 kg.
- The toe lever runs on a wheel bearing, so it locks and unlocks smoothly at fast transitions.
- The heel turns 90 degrees for flat or stays forward with the flap closed for a 38 mm climbing position.
- A removable crampon slot, sold separately, adds ski crampons for icy mountaineering, and a Plum race brake can be added for ISMF events.
Best Uses
- Skimo racing
- Training laps
- Light-and-fast tours
- Race skis and narrow touring skis
- Skiers up to 90 kg
Mounting and Setup Advice
Release is fixed at 7 (vertical) and 8 (lateral), so confirm with a shop that this suits your weight and skiing ability/style. The heel is a fixed mount; Plum adjustment plates, sold separately, let one ski fit more than one boot. The binding has no brake, so use a leash, or add a Plum race brake for ISMF racing.
The Race 120 needs a boot with certified tech inserts. Bring your boots in so we can check the inserts and mount the heel to your boot sole.
