Is the front touring pivot and mounting plate weak?
Any astute observer of randonnee bindings will notice the tiny front pivot of the Naxo. I torture tested this part of the binding, and it’s incredibly strong. Nonetheless, Naxo has strengthened this area on all current models. What’s happening with bindings is that plastic technology has improved by leaps and bounds over the past years, and plastics such as those in the Naxo are incredibly tough. More, during a forward fall while in touring mode with Naxo bindings your knee will contact the ski before the binding gets stressed (because of the double pivot), this goes a long way in preventing damage to the binding.
