Engineered for experienced tourers who demand reliability, minimal weight, and maximum versatility, this ultra-light pin binding sets a new standard for backcountry adventures. It delivers an exceptional balance of uphill efficiency and downhill power, making it the ideal choice for ambitious days in the mountains. The Long Travel designation signifies its key feature: an extended adjustment range, providing unparalleled adaptability for skiers using different boot sole lengths without the need for remounting.The Alpinist 12 LT is designed from the ground up to offer everything a seasoned ski tourer needs. Its innovative construction features Active Length Compensation, a crucial technology that allows the binding to accommodate the natural flex of the ski during turns. This ensures consistent release values and prevents the binding from interfering with the ski´s intended performance, giving you a smoother and more predictable ride. Uphill travel is made effortless, while the descent is characterized by robust power and precise control, inspiring confidence on even the most challenging terrain.Ease of use is at the core of the Alpinist´s design. The very stiff and intuitive ISI (Intuitive Step-In) toe piece makes getting into the binding a breeze, even in difficult conditions. A wide footprint with an integrated stop automatically positions and aligns your boot, guiding you to the perfect entry point. The kinematically optimised pin levers then engage the boot with just a gentle push, providing a secure and confident connection.When it´s time to ascend, the heel piece offers unmatched efficiency. Featuring three climbing aid positions (0°, 5°, and 9°), you can easily adapt to changing slope angles on the fly. Switching between ascent and descent modes is incredibly quick and simple, minimizing transition times and keeping you moving. For the descent, the Alpinist 12 LT truly shines. A wide 38 mm hole pattern provides a broad connection to the ski, enabling brilliant power transfer directly to the edges. This translates into outstanding steering, responsiveness, and control, allowing you to drive your skis with precision and power.Technical Specifications:* Weight (per piece, without brake): 250 g* Brake Width: 105 mm* DIN/ISO Range: 6.0 - 12.0* Heel Adjustment Range: 35 mm* Stand Height (without ski): 18 mm* Toe System: Carbon Reinforced Pin Toe with ISI Step-In* Step-In Heel: Alpinist Heel with 0°, 5°, and 9° climbing aids
