GO LIGHTER.

The ZED redefines the next generation of lightweight high-performance touring bindings. We evolved the proven platform of the ION into a fully featured binding at the lightest weight possible.

GO HARD.

A binding can be lightweight for the hike up, but none of that matters if you can’t ski down on it the way you want. The ZED stands confident in a league of its own with all the power and performance of a much heavier modern touring binding, packed into a super light and simple package.

HIGH PERFORMANCE.

The ION is engineered to the highest performance standards. The optimal toe elasticity and forward pressure in the heel result in maximum energy absorption and consistent release during active use. The wide freeride mount transfers power to the edges, enhances torsional rigidity and provides superior pull-out resistance. Rigorous testing in the lab combined with real-world field testing by users pushing the limits on skis help us create the best performing bindings in their class.
