Fritschi Touring Ski Bindings NZ 

The Scout 11 is almost as light as the heaviest pin binding. In addition to excellent all-mountain performance, it offers the easy handling of an alpine binding. The Compact Module is also the focal point for all other functions, from walk mode comfort to ease of use and safety, the excellent downhill qualities, and not least the reason for the lightweight of this bar design. The activating crampon is another sophisticated technical feature of this system.

Among the bindings with walking function, the Scout offers probably the widest range of applications. The lightest bar/frame binding is the right companion for combined use in touring terrain and on the slopes for any terrain. 

Compared to jaw bindings with:

• superior walking comfort
• high lateral stability when climbing
• easy use
• light weight
• activating crampons

Compared to pin bindings with:

• easy step-in and effortless use
• safety release similar to alpine bindings
• DIN/ISO settings even for light-weight skiers (up to DIN value 3)
• versatile use with touring and alpine boots

Top functionality

The core piece of Compact Technology is the extremely torque-resistant and light Compact Module. It integrates various Fritschi technologies perfectly and ensures their reliable functioning under all conditions.

Optimum adaptation to the slope angle

Change between four optimally synchronized walk mode levels with maximum ease. You can change the walk mode level very simply using your ski pole. Scout bindings provide optimum lateral stability for secure footing in every walk mode level.

Secure hold before it is too late

Axion crampons are mounted to the bottom of the binding with just a few easy steps. Flip it up to climb without engagement as if no crampons were attached. Simply flip the blade down with a ski pole, as needed, to engage the crampons without stepping out of the binding.

Ski Boot Size:

SM:  260–315 mm
ML:  285–340 mm
XL:  330–370 mm

New for 2022 the Tecton 13 the impresses the powder fan not only with the best downhill performance. On the steepest slopes, it gives a secure hold and only releases when it really has to. It is just as strong on the ascent. The light weight and easy operation make all powder slopes effortlessly accessible.

FEATURES:

Free Touring beyond limits: The exceptional alpine heel with rail is responsible for the direct power transmission from boot to ski, similar to an Alpine binding. Easy and intuitive to use.

In the back, where the forces are highest, the Tecton remains as stable and precise as an alpine binding. The hold-down system with a non-turning alpine heel jaw and the rail transmits the power directly from the boot to the ski without any loss. The right mix of light high-tech synthetics and high-quality metal alloys provides superior stability at a low weight (only 550 g / unit).

The boot remains fixed

As an absolute exclusivity, the rail in the alpine heel engages in the back of the boot, secures it in the center and prevents a loss of power.

Heel unit remains laterally stable

Due to the solid, non-turning heel the power flow, unlike other pin bindings, is not interrupted by a rotating movement when the skis turn.

Direct contact boot-binding-ski

The alpine heel jaw is pressing the sole of the boot firmly against the heel plate, which is directly connected with the ski, and provides consistent direct traction.

Lateral release where it belongs for optimal performance

The pin binding with lateral release and DIN setting at the toe, where the lateral forces are acting in the event of a fall.

Releasing only if necessary

The long dynamic travel of 13 mm for the toe-cap prevents an unwanted release and cushions any lateral impact.

Immediate release of the boot with front release

After the release of the heel, the boot tips forward. Due to the pressure of the front of the boot on the Release Lever, the boot is also immediately released by the toe unit. 

Solid support while climbing and safety in an emergency

The boot is fixed and held in the middle, but the binding will release in response to high active forces.

Clamping systems must be blocked while climbing to ensure stability

Easy step-in

The tip of the boot is optimally positioned by means of a solid stop in front and a positioning guide. Responding to slight pressure, the system closes with the pin levers engaging precisely in the inserts.

The sequence of movements is comparable with that of an alpine binding.

Easy operation means more than comfort

Switching from downhill to uphill mode and vice versa is very simple without having to step out of the binding. The three ergonomically walk mode levels can also be changed in no time with a pole

Only 550 g per unit

The right mix of light high-tech synthetics and high-quality metal alloys provides superior stability at a low weight.
