Head/Tyrolia Racing X: This binding features the Head/Tyrolia Heavy Spring, meaning some of the release settings are considerably above the international standard recommendations, and should only be used by skiers that understand the risks of using a high DIN binding like this. Any binding wearing the 'X' badge is for extremely high performance skiers only. However, Head/Tyrolia warns skiers that these bindings may cause serious injury to the skier, no matter their ability. In other words, don't set the DIN to 18 just to be cool, because your leg will break before the binding releases. Level Nine reiterates this warning by saying you need to sign a waiver when you purchase this binding, agreeing that you don't hold Level Nine liable when all of your tendons snap. Duracoating: A protective seal on the binding to help reduce wear for looks and performance. Race Diagonal toe: The toe of the binding is able to release the boot in a full 180 degree range for safety, but has a higher release force vertically to reduce pre-releasing in high energy skiing Wide Teflon AFD: A wider than average AFD transmits more force to the edge of the ski, and reduces or eliminates the rolling of the boot when engaged in the binding. Race Pro Heel: This heelpiece looses the diagonal release feature, but gains a more solid interface with the ski. The heads of the screws are much closer to the ski, reducing the amount of torque placed on them. MJ Series Bindings/Brakes: We are designating these MJ series bindings/brake arms. To help avoid the confusion about which brake arms work with which bindings. All MJ series parts will have this description and be accessible from the link at the beginning of this paragraph. |
