Salomon’s S/Lab Shift² 16 MN delivers true downhill performance in a touring binding. Prioritizing power and precision for the biggest lines, it keeps all the uphill freedom you’re not ready to give up. With a 16 DIN and reinforced toe and heel, this no-compromise binding is built for freeriders who charge every descent, and choose to earn it too.
Features:
Downhill skiability: Built with Powerblock technology and 16mm of heel elastic travel, this binding delivers unmatched shock absorption and retention, perfect for the most aggressive descents.
Uphill and downhill performance: Built for freeriders who want uncompromised downhill performance with a touring option as a bonus, this binding tours up at 1210g and charges down with full power.
Lightweight: Every element is designed to strike that perfect balance between freeride downhill strength and lightweight uphill efficiency.
Binding Technologies
Low profile Chassis:Low stand height for increased terrain feedback and enhanced power transmission.
Heel
3-Part Power heel:A reinforced 3-part heel with a metal lever and 16 mm of elastic travel ensures powerful energy transmission and precise control.
Easy climbing aids manipulation:Ensures easy switch with the poles between climbing aid positions.
Main Material
Carbon Loaded™ PA:A very lightweight and resistant alloy of carbon and polyamid to fulfill the need for very light weight, extreme resistance and rigidity.
Aluminium:A rigid and strong construction that allows enhanced power transmission.
Glass-Fiber PA:A dedicated polyamide reinforced with fiber-glass which makes bindings lighter, durable, and with more tolerance on skis.
Steel:Super rigid, non-deforming material that meets racers’ expectations in terms of power and precision.
Pedal
Sliding Toe pedal:A specific pedal mounted on a spring that allows lateral movements and re-centering. It allows any normed boot to release out of the binding in case of a lateral fall.
Power Block AFD:A new micrometric, height-adjustable AFD with a single-block aluminum insert that supports the boot and provides 30% more lateral stiffness compared to previous generations.
Toe
Hybrid Toe:Ultimate elastic travel allowing for the boots to be held back when shocks get bigger. Compatible with all the normed boots with no compromise on safety or performance.
Elastic travel:The ultimate elastic travel on the wings. It holds the boot back when faced with bigger shocks and minimizes the risk of pre-release.
Crampon system:Possibility to attach dedicated crampons to the binding.
XL Wings:Long wings that envelop the tip of the boot perfectly in order to provide increased power transmission and confidence in freeride bindings.
