Maybe you tried the Shift binding before, and were less than stoked when your AFD suddenly dropped halfway through your run, or when your brakes deployed multiple times while skinning? The engineers have been listening, and the Salomon S/Lab Shift² MNC 13 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings represent a serious upgrade.
Features:
- Carbon-Infused Polyamide Toe Lever and Wings – Lightweight and robust for better durability and energy transfer.
- Power Block AFD (Anti-Friction Device) – Contiunuously adjustable without steps, and incorporating a new aluminum Power Block that delivers an impressive 30% increase in lateral power transfer.
- Dual Mode Toe – Easily converts from ski to tour mode and back
- Locking Brakes – Sturdier, more reliable brake lever construction that improves locking and avoids disengagement.
- Hike and Ride Switch – Lever at toe shifts between hike and ski mode.
- Dual Height Climbing Aid – Tall option is now 4mm higher.
- Accessing Toe for Touring – 1. Pull back on block between toe wings to open tech arms. 2. Depress front lever to widen arms to step in. 3. Pull up on lever to lock arms securely for skinning.
- Preparing Heel for Touring – Pull back on the brake pad and fix the brake in the "up" position by stepping down on the pad.
