Xenic 10 (inc. Stopper) Ski Touring Binding

<p>The Xenic 10 (incl. stopper) backcountry Ski Binding from Fritschi sets the standard for lightweight pin bindings in terms of functionality and safety.&nbsp;</p><p>Many can be lightweight, but the Xenic also scores outstanding comfort, excellent power transmission and above all, the highest safety standards.&nbsp;</p><p>The rear jaw releases sideways and frontally. The values are set separately. To ensure that the safety function is also guaranteed in extreme situations, for example, when the ski flexes intensely on rough pistes, a length compensation of 10mm keeps the release values constant. Incidentally, the two mounting pins at the back are pivoted, which minimises friction and thus wear.&nbsp;</p><p>The stoppers included in the scope of delivery do not have to be locked at the push of a button, as is usual with many lightweight counterparts, but fold in automatically at the first step. This is 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 peppered the toe with innovative details. Even getting started is effortless thanks to the defined stop and wide step-in pedal.</p><p>Unlike other pin bindings, the pin jaws move horizontally, unlike rocker levers. This has the advantage that the binding cannot open unintentionally when hit from below and therefore does not have to be locked manually.&nbsp;</p><p>In addition, the binding is kitted out with a kind of emergency release in the downhill mode for frontal falls, as the pins open when the toe of the boot presses on the stop at an angle of 75° at the latest.</p><p>Thanks to the wide bore pattern, Fritschi's convincing entry into the world of lightweight construction inspires with excellent power transmission and great downhill qualities.&nbsp;</p><p>With the Xenic 10 (incl. stopper) ski touring binding, the Swiss have limited themselves to a single-stage climbing aid. This saves weight and is completely sufficient considering the shaft rotation of modern touring boots of 60° and more.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Please note: The weight is that of the pair of bindings with stopper.</span></p>
