Technical Info

ADAPTIVE SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY

Make the ultimate connection with a revolutionary security system that offers more precision and control than ever before. All of these features are encased in a low drag design for flat out fun.

FREEFLEX PRO

The best performance enabled by the innovative Freeflex Pro System. The free-gliding heel allows the ski to bend through unimpeded and to retain its natural dynamics. Due to the reduced stand height, the Freeflex band is now much closer to the ski boot. Constant release values reduce the risk of injury and ensure safe ski steering.

STREAM TOE

The new racing toe features independent spring-loaded pincers for more precise control, two mounting positions of the gliding element for an adjustable pressure point, and a steel base plate between the binding and the plate for better power transmission. Thanks to the new aerodynamic design, even faster runs are possible.

AFD GLIDING ELEMENT

The Race AFD gliding element moves together with the ski flex enabling constant contact between boot and binding in all flex situations. Improves ski control and direct power transmission without wobbling between boot and binding—guarantees precise turns, powerful energy transfer, and minimal response time, resulting in faster runs.

RACE PRO HEEL

The stand height was reduced according to the actual FIS rules. An increased contact area reduces friction and provides constant forward pressure in all skiing situations.

FULL DIAGNOL

Intelligent 180° release both horizontally and vertically of the Diagonal Toe and therefore ensures maximum safety in backward twisting-fall situations.

AFS – Anti Friction Slider

New gliding insert is weight-optimized for reduced friction, constant release values, and maximum safety.

ABS – ANTI-BLOCKING SYSTEM

The exclusive TYROLIA technology of the ABS continuous band allows the boot to move out of the binding almost without any friction, hence delivering maximum safety in case of icing up, dirt, and boot wear.

RX TOE

The performance-oriented RX toe defines stability and power. Extremely durable and reliable.

TRP – TYROLIA ROLLER PINCER SYSTEM

Toe System (TRP System) of the HEAD bindings with its four rollers and gliding inserts ensure a 180° release and exact centering of the ski boot. The TRP system reduces the load on knees and ligaments and improves performance considerably.

NX HEEL

New 3-piece heel for easy step in and step out. Better stability and power transmission.

SX TOE & HEEL

SX toe and heel pieces feature better boot centering and reset (which means the boot returns to its original position after impact or displacement in a fast and precise manner). Proven technology features provide safety and stability. Whether iced up, dirty or worn, the boot is precisely secure and ensures direct power transmission to the ski.
