The Xenic 10 from Fritschi is a ski touring binding built for backcountry and alpine touring. It’s designed to help you climb uphill more easily and switch over to a secure downhill setup when you reach the summit.
Weighing in at just 320 grams per unit, this binding keeps your pack lighter on long approaches. It ships without a brake so you can pick the right width (85, 95 or 105 mm) to suit your ski and shed extra grams when you don’t need one. The simple riser system offers a flat setting plus one additional position, giving you a boost on moderate slopes without slowing down your transitions.
Risers are adjustable heel lifts that switch between a flat stance and roughly an 8° incline under your heel. This climbing aid reduces calf fatigue on steeper pitches by tilting your foot upward, helping you maintain a more natural posture during longer skin tracks.
