But it is on the way down that this binding will come into its own. Thanks to its wide base, perfect for freetouring skis, its spring-mounted Elastic Response System provides elasticity and an unchanged ski radius. Its vertical release (9-16) gives the shoe very good resistance and maximum stability, so you can push hard, even in complicated conditions.
You'll love the Freeride Spacer, a plate under the heel of your shoe integrated with the heel cup to provide additional support and reduce twisting. This makes it one of the safest touring bindings on the market, so you can go downhill without fear.

DIN: 9-16
Adjustable heel support by 25 mm
Weight: 370g per binding
Technology:
- Materials: Aluminium, stainless steel, POM
- Magneto® Heel Flaps: considerably increases the comfort and speed of transition from one walking mode to the other: 2 magnetic flaps provide 5 walking positions (flat, +27.5, + 30, + 44, + 49mm) and can be activated with the end of the pole, reducing the risk of losing balance on steeper slopes.
- Elastic Responsive System®: A spring is inserted between the heel piece and the adjustment screw. If the ski bends due to compression (bumps and jumps), the heel piece can move and return to its position at the end of the impact, without unintentional release.
Sensations: Natural flexion of the ski even in big jumps and compressions
Safety: Better detachment under high stress
Comfort: Reduced loads on the ski/boot/binding system
-Cam Release System®: A special CAME profile is pressed by a pre-tensioned spring towards the heel pins: in the event of a fall, the pins are forced to travel along the CAME profile, which reacts with a precise resistance to the release of the pins.
This guarantees the best downhill performance on the market with a strong reduction of the shoe's torsion compared to any other heel cup.
The result is that the release is extremely precise, and the heel cup is is very easy to step into while remaining light.
- Raider Toe Shim: to reduce the drop between the stop and the heel piece to make the binding flatter, even more adapted for freeride
- Easy Entry System: Extremely simple, immediate and secure fitting, even with worn soles.
- Snow Pack Proof: A special front stop design that prevents snow and ice deposits from forming under the mechanism.
- Up-Hill Hardness Variator: This system is an exclusive feature of the R12 and FR14 bindings. A multi-position selector is located between the front lever and the base of the front stop. By changing the position of the selector switch, the hardness of the stopper lock in the uphill mode changes as the pressure on the locking mechanism increases.
The result: it compensates for the wear of the front insert over the years, adjusted to suit the user (softer for lighter skiers, stiffer for stronger ones).
- Freeride Spacer: boot heel support plate to provide lateral release and better skiing comfort.
