Fritschi - Touring Bindings
Fritschi Xenic 10
Easy to the top. Light weight, no compromise
Innovative solutions to combine the high standards of safety, power transmission and comfort at just 280 g per unit. The light weight, the easy step-in and the practical operation make the Xenic 10 an exceptionally agile binding for ski tours in any terrain. When skiing downhill, length compensation of 10 mm ensures a reliable release according to the settings. The innovative frontal unit provides a secure hold in front and with the exceptionally broad heel support in the back the skis are easy to control. The optimal mix of light high-tech plastics of the latest generation and high-quality metals results in superior stability at a weight of only 280 g per unit.
Well served by lightness
In its weight category the Xenic 10 stands out by its very practical handling. The simple step-in and the equally easy, effortless use of all functions provide plenty of safety, especially in difficult terrain.
Technical data
- DIN: 4 - 10
- Ski width: 70mm
- Weight: 280g / unit without skibrake
The new lightness for backcountry skiing
- Fixed stop and broad step-in pedal for easy step-in
- Sophisticated technology for easy operation without compromise
- Infinitely adjustable plus 10 mm length compensation for a defined release
- Innovative frontal unit for a secure hold in downhill skiing without blocking
- Exceptionally broad support of the heel unit for direct power transmission
Easy step-in with fixed stop and broad pedal
The tip of the boot is optimally positioned by means of a fixed stop and a positioning guide. In response to even slight pressure on the broad step-in pedal the pin levers shift horizontally inward and quickly and precisely engage in the inserts of the boots.
Sophisticated technology for easy use
Using the climbing aid as a lever the Xenic 10 can very easily be changed from the downhill to the uphill position with just half a turn of the heel. The stopper locks automatically on the first step. The walk-mode levels of 2° and 11° and the climbing aid, which is controllable with the pole, provide absolute ergonomic comfort in climbing uphill
Safety first
In skiing, significant forces are acting on material and body. Injuries are reduced to a minimum with a well-timed release according to the settings, the defined release and the prevention of unintended release.
Secure hold in downhill skiing without blocking
The pin levers of the innovative frontal unit shift horizontally and thus absorb vertically acting forces. An unintended release caused by shocks from the bottom is prevented without the need to block the system while skiing downhill.
Defined release provides safety in any situation
The DIN values for the lateral and frontal release can be infinitely set on the Xenic 10. Additionally, it features 10 mm length compensation. With this, the pressure on the system remains constant, even when the skis are flexed, which ensures a defined release in any situation.
Complete, well-timed release in case of a forward fall
When the heel is released the boot tips forward. Only the bindings from Fritschi will then also release the boot in the frontal unit at the right time, between an angle of approx. 65° to 75°, depending on the form of the boot’s front.
Direct power transmission for easy control over the skis
The power is directly transmitted to the skis via the core tower integrated in the compact heel unit. The large diameter of the core tower allows the broadest support of the system in this category.
Fritschi Tecton 12
Alpine Performance in all terrain
In the back, where the forces are highest, the Tecton remains as stable and precise as an alpine binding. The hold-down system with a non-turning alpine heel jaw and the rail transmits the power directly from the boot to the ski without any loss. The Tecton equals both the performance and the safety of alpine bindings. Any unwanted release is prevented by the long dynamic path. The binding reliably releases at the DIN setting. The easy step-in and the intuitive control provide security, especially in challenging terrain. The right mix of light high-tech synthetics and high-quality metal alloys provides superior stability at a low weight (only 550 g / unit).
Power transmission in three dimensions
Easy and precise ski control, even with wider skis
In the back, where the forces are highest, the Tecton remains as stable and precise as an alpine binding. The hold-down system with a non-turning alpine heel jaw and the rail transmits the power directly from the boot to the ski without any loss.
Technical data
- DIN: 5 - 12
- Ski width: 70mm
- Weight: 550g / unit without skibrake
Free Touring with power and safety
-
- Alpine heel with Rail
- Lateral release at the toe with DIN setting and 13 mm elasticity
- Frontal release at the heel with 9 mm elasticity
- New easy step-in
- Complete easy handling package
Alpine heel with Rail
The boot remains fixed
As an absolute novelty, the rail engages in the back of the boot, secures it in the center and prevents a loss of power.
Hold-down system with alpine heel
Direct contact boot-binding-ski
The heel jaw is pressing the sole of the boot firmly against the heel plate, which is directly connected with the ski, and provides consistent direct traction.
Solid, non-turning heel
Heel unit remains laterally stable
Unlike other pin bindings, the power flow is not interrupted by a rotating movement when the skis turn
Fritschi Vipec Evo 12
New easy step-in for more safety
The new easy step-in and the practical use of all functions provide security, especially in challenging terrain. The prompt release based on the preset values and the prevention of unwanted releases help to reduce injuries to a minimum. In downhill skiing, the higher forces are transmitted in the back. The Evo is equipped with a solid heel, same as alpine bindings. As a result, it allows a much more dynamic and safer style of skiing downhill. The right mix of light high-tech synthetics and high-quality metal alloys provides superior stability at a low weight (only 500 g / unit).
Technical data
- DIN: 5 - 12
- Ski width: 70mm
- Weight: 500g / without ski brake
Ski touring with safety and comfort
-
- Lateral front release with DIN setting and 13 mm elasticity
- Emergency release when climbing
- New easy step-in
- Complete easy handling package
- Solid, non-turning heel
Easy step-in
The tip of the boot is optimally positioned by means of a solid stop in front and a positioning guide. Responding to slight pressure, the system closes with the pin levers engaging precisely in the inserts. The sequence of movements is comparable with that of an alpine binding.
Safety first
In skiing, significant forces are acting on material and body. The prompt release based on the preset values, a defined release, and the prevention of unwanted releases help to reduce injuries to a minimum.
Lateral release with DIN-setting at the toe
In front, same as in alpine bindings
The pin-binding with lateral release and DIN setting at the toe, where the lateral forces are acting in the event of a fall.
Elasticity of 13 mm
Releasing only if necessary
The highest elasticity of 13 mm prevents an unwanted release and cushions any lateral impact so that the ski always maintains a firm grip.
Release Lever
Immediate release of the boot with front release
After the release of the heel, the boot tips forward. Due to the pressure of the front of the boot on the Release Lever, the boot is also immediately released by the toe unit.
