Why We Like It
- Lateral and vertical release both adjust from 4 to 10, so a shop sets the value to the skier rather than to a fixed spring.
- The heel is machined from 7075 aluminum, with no plastic housing to crack in the cold.
- An optional brake screws on in 85, 95 or 105 mm and comes off again for lighter tours.
- A pole-flipped heel riser and a removable crampon adapter keep transitions quick.
Best Uses
- Ski touring
- Ski mountaineering
- Steep skiing
- Skiers up to 100 kg
Mounting and Setup Advice
A shop should set lateral and vertical release from 4 to 10 for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type, and test it after mounting. Plum recommends the Pika for skiers up to 100 kg.
The brake is optional; without it, ski with a leash. The binding needs boots with certified tech inserts.
