Seems like that changed in the last 5 minutes: Xenic toe pieces.

I am having a problem with keeping the brakes stowed in touring mode. They frequently fail to stow initially, then self-deploy on the uphill. Any tips on what to look out for that might be causing this? See my photo of installed brakes in an earlier question/answer on 3/20/2021.

Confirming that step-in to the toe piece was completely fuss free every time on my first day of skiing these with Dynafit Mercury boots. Nice design.

For anyone else with the same question, I can confirm that the brakes fitted with tons of room to spare.

Ticks all the boxes. Fairly light weight considering the feature set. Easy entry toe piece (big improvement over 1st gen Vipec). Smooth as butter release, the sliding release toe piece is magic. Strong brake deployment. Excellent brake stowing mechanism for walk mode. Two good heel riser heights plus flat tracking option. Risers easy to deploy. No need to exit the binding to change ski/walk modes. No complaints charging high speed through rough chopped up snow. The one fault is that the heel piece can ice ...
