Salomon S/Lab Shift² 13 MNC Touring Binding

The Salomon S/Lab Shift² 13 MNC Touring Binding is a hybrid binding for skiers who want one setup for resort freeride days and backcountry tours. In ski mode it works like an alpine binding, with long toe wings, elastic travel and TÜV-certified release from 6 to 13, and in tour mode it switches to a pin toe with full heel rotation. At 920 g per binding with brakes in 90, 100, 110 or 120 mm and a multi-norm toe that takes alpine and touring boots, the Shift² 13 suits freeride touring, resort-heavy quivers and big-mountain skiing.

Is This the Right Binding for You?

Best For
Advanced and expert skiers who want TÜV-certified alpine release from 6 to 13 and a pin toe for touring on one pair of skis.
Consider Another Binding If
You want a light touring binding for long climbs, need a release value below 6, or ski touring boots without full toe and heel lugs.

Why We Like It

  • In ski mode the toe behaves like an alpine binding, with long wings and elastic travel that hold the boot through hard impacts instead of pre-releasing.
  • TÜV-certified release from 6 to 13 with Multi Norm certification gives the same release standard with alpine, GripWalk and touring soles.
  • The redesigned Power Block AFD, a height-adjustable support plate under the boot toe with an aluminum insert, adds 30% more lateral stiffness than the first Shift.
  • A pin toe and full heel rotation in tour mode let the same skis climb efficiently, and the reworked climbing aids are easier to flip with a pole.

Best Uses

  • Freeride touring
  • Resort freeride with backcountry access
  • One-ski quivers
  • Big-mountain skiing
  • Skis 75 to 120 mm underfoot

Mounting and Setup Advice

Choose the brake equal to or up to 15 mm wider than the ski waist: 90, 100, 110 or 120 mm. A shop should set release for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type, adjust the AFD height to your boot sole and test it after mounting.

Any normed alpine, GripWalk or touring boot works in ski mode, but touring needs certified tech inserts at the toe, and the boot needs full toe and heel lugs. Some lightweight touring boots lack them, so bring your boots in before you mount.
