Oh, one more question, sorry...
Do these accept the Plum-type crampons like the older MTN pure?
Thanks again!
Salomon MTN Summit 12 Binding & Brake
Challenge any summit with the MTN Summit 12 Binding. Built to complement the popular MTN, the MTN Summit 12 includes the easy-to-use brakes and intuitive heel risers found on its sibling. In contrast to the MTN, the Summit 12 has an adjustable lateral release that can be set anywhere between 6-12 as well as the AutoFlex system, which allows for elasticity in the heel to accommodate the flexing of the ski. For ease of use, there is never a need to rotate the heel tower while skinning, skiing, or switching between. To keep the weight low, Salomon has built the MTN Summit 12 out of fiberglass-infused polyamide - a widely used thermoplastic that is combined with glass fibers for the perfect cross-section of lightness, durability, and rigidity. Take a good look at the Salomon MTN Summit 12 Binding now, you'll be seeing it for a while to come.
- AutoFlex system provides fore/aft elasticity in the heel to help prevent pre-release while the ski flexes.
- Glass-PA construction is light, durable, and dampens vibration from the ski.
- Adjustable lateral release values between 6-12 allow you to finetune your lateral release.
- Flip through your risers and transition without having to reach back and rotate the heel.
- Brakes keep the ski in place when you exit binding in ski mode (intentionally or otherwise).
- Step-In Aid makes it easy to step into the toe piece.

Michael, Yes, they use the same crampon adapter. Plum yes, and need to use the clip for Dynafit style crampons.

Any idea of the vertical RV on these? I ski the older MTN pure with the 'mens' spring which works well for me. My typical preferred RV is 8-9. Will the U spring be swappable like the older MTN?
And same hole pattern? Do you need to drill an extra hole in the heel to use brakes if coming from the old MTN pure? Thanks!

Michael,
Same mounting pattern and extra screw for the brake.
The U springs are not swappable. These have adjustable lateral release. And you order the 9 or 12 for Vertical release. We have not yet tested those values to see what the Vertical release is actually.
