Armada N Shift2 Alpine Touring Binding

The Shift2 is a hybrid binding, meaning it functions like a high-performance alpine binding for downhill skiing but includes a tech-compatible toe piece for uphill touring. It gives you the security of a traditional binding with the freedom to explore backcountry terrain.

The Shift2 is highly versatile and compatible with most major boot sole standards, including Alpine (ISO 5355), GripWalk, Alpine Touring (ISO 9523), and WTR. It is designed to work seamlessly across your entire quiver of boots.

The dual-mode toe piece is designed for efficiency, allowing you to transition between modes quickly without having to step out of your bindings. It is intuitive enough to manage even when you are on the side of a mountain.

Yes, the Shift2 is built for advanced and expert skiers. With a DIN range up to 13 and an oversized platform that provides excellent lateral power transfer, it is designed to handle high-speed carving and demanding terrain just as well as a dedicated resort binding.

Yes, you should choose the brake width that matches or is slightly wider than the waist width of your skis. The Shift2 is available in 100mm and 120mm brake widths to accommodate a variety of ski profiles.

The carbon-infused nylon construction is a strategic design choice that keeps the overall weight of the binding low for easier climbing, while maintaining the stiffness and power transmission required for aggressive downhill performance.
