What makes the Naxo special?
This is a tour binding designed for skiers who want a “real” alpine ski resort rig. The crux of the Naxo design is its beefy toepiece and a unique touring (heel lift) pivot system. By providing two walking pivot points, one beneath and one in front of the binding toe, the system allows for a full-sized alpine-style binding toe. It also creates a more rounded gait, reducing the somewhat awkward stride that may be experienced with existing AT plate bindings. In addition, the heel piece locks down in such a way that it cannot prerelease due to flex of the ski, and the touring heel lifter can’t be inadvertently raised while downhill skiing. Binding length and spring tension at the toe and heel can be adjusted quickly, making the Naxo ideal for rental use or swapping between partners during an expedition.
