Plum Race 170 Binding

The Plum 170 binding is the 150 with a built-in 19mm adjustment plate. If you plan on using more than one boot with your setup, this is the version for you. The re-designed toe pieces feature smooth-operating lock levers that have clear stops for skiing and skinning. The heel piece has a simple pin-cover flap for uphill skinning and can be turned sideways for flat-on-ski skating (shuffling?). All pins are steel with the heels being very resistant to notching. The Plum Race series has become a standard-setter for reliable racing and adventuring.

• Built-in adjustment plates let you shift +/-9.5mm, almost enough for 3 boot sizes.
• Toe pieces have a lever that is comfortable to grab and smooth to lock/unlock.
• Shortened heel-pedestal partially compensates for the adjustment plate thickness, keeping you closer to flat.
• Heels can rotate sideways for flat mode, with the plates preventing a negative ramp angle when skinning.
• Notch-resistant steel U-springs and a simple heel flap are robust and replaceable.
• Optional heel risers can help with steep climbs, or be removed for a big race.
• Optional crampon attachments (+9g) work extra-great with Plum crampons.
• Meets ISMF specs for racing and many people’s specs for mountaineering.
• 100% made in France.
