Xenic plus 12 Ski Touring Bindings

<p>The Xenic plus 12 touring binding (incl. stopper) from Fritschi sets standards for lightweight pin bindings in terms of functionality and safety. The plus is reflected in a 2-stage climbing aid, which is implemented in such a way that it does not generate any additional weight.</p> <p>Many bindings can now be lightweight, but the Xenic plus also scores with outstanding comfort, excellent power transmission and, above all, the highest safety standards.</p> <p>The rear jaw is made from the side and front. The values are set separately. To ensure that the safety function is also guaranteed in extreme situations, for example when the ski flexes a great deal on rough slopes, a length compensation of 10 mm keeps the release values constant. Incidentally, the two mounting pins are pivoted at the rear, which minimizes friction and therefore wear.</p> <p>The stoppers included in the delivery do not have to be locked at the push of a button, but fold in automatically at the first step. A safety plus for skinning up in frosty steep terrain, because the ski remains securely in place until the first step and cannot slip off unexpectedly.</p> <p>The Swiss have also packed the toe piece with innovative details. Thanks to the defined stop and wide step-in pedal, getting started is effortless.</p> <p>In contrast to other pin bindings, the pin jaws move horizontally and not like rocker arms. This has the advantage that the binding cannot open unintentionally when hit from below and therefore does not need to be locked manually.</p> <p>In downhill mode, the binding is also kitted out with a kind of emergency release for frontal falls, as the pins open at an angle of no more than 75&deg; when pressure is applied to the stop by the tip of the boot.</p> <p>Thanks to the wide hole pattern, Fritschi's lightweight binding impresses with outstanding power transmission and great downhill qualities.</p> <p><strong>Note: The weight is that of the binding pair with stopper.</strong></p>
