Products >> Naxo Bindings

 

   

This Swiss-made Naxo alpine touring binding provides a true alpine-style toepiece that releases just like downhill bindings. And its triple pivot makes touring feel like it always should: completely natural.

 

Virtual Rotation System - VRS

Virtual Rotation System creates a natural, rolling stride while touring.

The initial pivot point is 65mm further back than other AT bindings.

By leaning forward, the toepiece sinks, creating an opening angle of 12 degrees. The pivot then shifts forward. Up to this point, no energy is expended: the skier has only weighted the ball of his or her foot, not lifted the heel.

Once the opening angle has reached 35 degrees, the pivot point moves forward again.

Adjustable climbing post in three levels: 0, 6, and 12 degrees. Heel height and lockdown are easily controlled with a ski pole.

Trail Breaking and Switchbacks Made Easy

The Naxo's triple-pivot VRS system makes trail breaking easy, as the tips of your skis rise to the snow surface while touring.

Switchbacks are also made easier. Instead of awkward kick turns, just pull your foot back to change direction.
