The Fritschi Tecton 12 combines the virtues of a tech/pin toe binding with an alpine style heel performance. It uses a tried and tested easy step-in tech/pin toe with lateral release/elasticity and combines it with a heel system which incorporates a vertical rail and power cup which grips the heel with an alpine binding style tenacity.
However, the real secret in the Tectons’ power lies in the way the heel unit is constructed. The unique Power Rail system engages fully into the pin recess in the heel of the boot and is held securely in place by the Power Cup. This gives a vice-like grip of the heel which eradicates lateral movement and ensures the power is transmitted directly to the edge of the ski via the Step Plate, thus ensuring alpine-like performance in piste and freeride situations. The heel unit also features longitudinal and vertical elasticity which prevents pre-release and dramatically reduces the tensile forces on the lower leg in the event of a forward fall.
Other refinements include easy-to-use step height adjustments and with an extremely low weight of only 550g per ski (without brakes) making it a very attractive binding to freeriders and distance tourers alike.
