Fritschi Xenic plus 12 & 10 – Touring
Within its lightweight category, the Xenic plus impresses with outstanding downhill performance and a complete package of safety technologies.
Patented tech focus
The Xenic plus features horizontally moving pin levers at the toe. These prevent unwanted releases on the descent without the need to lock the toe piece.
Vertical forces – such as impacts from below – are absorbed by the system. This preserves the defined release function without pre-emptively locking the toe piece.
RRP: Xenic plus 12: EUR 479.95 / CHF 479 (including ski brakes) Xenic plus 10: EUR 449.95 / CHF 449 (including ski brakes)
Fritschi Tecton 13 & 10 – Freeride & Free Touring
The Tecton is the lightest hybrid binding on the market and offers uncompromising downhill performance. It is designed for freeskiers seeking an active, dynamic skiing experience in challenging terrain.
Patented tech focus
The fixed alpine heel piece ensures direct power transmission: the heel piece presses the boot sole firmly onto the heel plate, which is connected directly to the ski. The exclusive rail engages with the rear of the boot, holds it centrally and prevents lateral power loss. Lateral release takes place at the toe – where lateral forces act during a fall. The Tecton combines high skiing performance with a comprehensive safety system.
RRP: Tecton 13: EUR 599.95 / CHF 599.00 (including ski brakes) Tecton 10: EUR 549.95 / CHF 549.00 (including ski brakes)
The Xenic plus and Tecton models are available for testing now.
