VIPEC EVO 12

- : DIAMIR
The Fritschi Vipec Evo 12 pushes touring binding safety into territory few brands are willing to explore: it features a lateral release at the toe —unlike most tech bindings, which only release at the heel— and this release stays active even while climbing, a relevant safety factor in avalanche terrain. With 13mm of elasticity on each side at the toe, it absorbs lateral impacts without premature release, while its solid, fixed heel piece —built like an alpine binding's— transmits the skier's power to the ski with a precision uncommon in a binding this weight. It includes a 100mm brake as standard, for a total weight of 550 g per unit.
The system combines high-end technical synthetics with quality metal alloys, engineered and assembled in Switzerland (99% of components are made there), resulting in a stable binding with safety credentials uncommon for its weight. Its DIN 4-12 range suits a wide spread of skiers, from those starting out in technical touring to those seeking near-alpine-binding performance on the descent. With a brake included as standard, the Vipec Evo 12 is the choice for anyone wanting a versatile touring binding, ready to use with no extra accessories, capable of both big climbs and demanding descents with total confidence.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
- Lateral toe release — unlike most tech bindings, the Vipec Evo also releases at the front, and this release stays active even in climbing mode, a relevant factor in avalanche terrain.
- 13mm of toe elasticity — dynamic travel on each side that absorbs lateral impacts before an unwanted release.
- Fixed, alpine-style heel piece — no rotation, transmitting the skier's power to the ski with precision closer to an alpine binding than most tech bindings.
- Swiss manufacturing — 99% of components are produced and assembled in Switzerland, in the town of Reichenbach.
