Salomon Shift 2 MNC Binding: The Next Evolution in Hybrid Ski Bindings

The Salomon Shift 2 MNC builds on the legacy of the original Shift, the groundbreaking binding that redefined freeride touring. This next-generation hybrid binding delivers the efficiency of a tech/pin binding on the climb, combined with the stability, safety, and performance of a full alpine binding on the descent—giving backcountry skiers the best of both worlds without compromise.

Improved Power, Precision, and Reliability

With refined engineering throughout, the Shift 2 takes performance and reliability to new heights. Redesigned toe wings are now longer, offering enhanced power transfer and improved retention to reduce the chance of premature release. The toe’s AFD (anti-friction device) now sits on a reinforced aluminum base—called the Powerblock—which adds lateral stiffness and improves edge-to-edge response. This update also makes the AFD more durable and consistent in performance, even after heavy use in demanding terrain.

Smarter Touring, Smoother Transitions

User-friendliness is a hallmark of the Shift series, and the Shift 2 makes it even easier to switch between tour and ski modes. A redesigned brake lock ensures the brakes stay secure while climbing—an upgrade from the original design—and the toe bumper guides your boot into position for faster, more intuitive step-in. Where ever you are transitions are smoother and more dependable.

All-Mountain Versatility Meets Big-Mountain Confidence

Multi Norm Certification (MNC) remains a key feature of the Shift 2, allowing compatibility with standard alpine boots, GripWalk soles, and most touring boots. Whether you're skinning up for a remote powder stash or ripping steep in-bounds terrain, the Shift 2 delivers the confidence of an alpine binding and the agility of a touring setup, all in one lightweight package.
