G3 Zed 12 Alpine Touring Bindings

G3 Zed 12 Alpine Touring Bindings

Fine-tuned for lighter users, the ZED 9 strikes an ideal balance of a lightweight build, easy-to-use feature set, and uncompromised downhill performance and safety. Starting with the proven platform of the ION, we looked at every part, every mechanism, and every screw to evolve the idea of a fully-featured binding at the lightest weight possible. With the ZED we set out to define the next generation of lightweight high-performance touring bindings. Anti-snowpacking features built into the toe and brake designs keep snow away and make for a confidence-inspiring step-in. Optimal toe elasticity for maximum energy absorption & minimized prerelease. 8.5 mm range of forward pressure in the heel to maintain consistent release. Wide freeride mount transfers power to the ski & provides pull-out resistance. The wide center support of the turret and a metal wrap-around base transfer power and precision to the ski. Leashes and brakes are sold separately.
