Salomon MTN Summit 12 & 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 a 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.
