Mounting and Setup Advice

Release is fully adjustable, vertical and lateral. A shop should set and test it for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type after mounting.

The binding needs certified tech inserts. Use a leash or add an optional brake. Bring your boots in so we can check the inserts and set the release.
