Why We Like It

  • The Triple Pivot Elite 3 toe mounts its spring horizontally over a sole plate inclined 5 degrees, which absorbs energy and reduces early release in hard skiing.
  • The Inter Pivot 3 freeride heel adds vertical elasticity and power transmission, so the Baron skis like an alpine binding when it is locked down.
  • The Extended Power Frame connects wide to the ski and is built for skis over 88 mm underfoot.
  • Sole.ID sets the toe for alpine, GripWalk and touring soles, and the Anti Ice Rail scrapes snow off the sole before you step in.

Best Uses

  • Resort skiing with sidecountry access
  • Short tours and uphill laps
  • Wide freeride skis over 88 mm
  • Skiers who want one binding for alpine and touring boots
  • Heavier skiers up to 120 kg

Mounting and Setup Advice

The Baron EPF 13 comes with a 110 mm brake, and the frame is built for skis wider than 88 mm. Sizes run Small for boot sole lengths 265 to 325 mm and Large for 305 to 365 mm. A shop should set Sole.ID for your boot sole and the 4 to 13 release for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type, then test it after mounting.

The frame lifts with the boot on every stride, so the Baron suits short climbs and sidecountry laps rather than long tours. Bring your boots in so we can set the toe height and release.
