G3 Ion 12 LT (2016)

G3 introduced Ion 12 in 2014 and this unique top tour binding has since won a number of prestigious awards. Ion 12 LT is a lightweight version and is suitable for experienced gram hunters and purists. Delivered without ski stops and with a minimalist chassis plate for lower total weight. Ion LT leash included in the package. With production in Vancouver, Canada, it offers a well-turned and safe product with high performance, high user-friendliness and low weight of only 456 grams. Compared to competing pin tech bindings, there are a number of construction details that make a big difference: optimized toe elasticity in that the suspension has a contracting effect, ie the spikes strive harder against each other at, for example, back weight. This also provides maximum energy absorption and thus minimized the risk of prereleases. Step-In guidance on the toe part helps the boot to get in the right position and creates high user-friendliness. Wide Freeride Mount means 33% greater attachment distance between the screws than traditional. 40 mm between the screws guarantees increased power transmission and strengthens the torsional rigidity of the binding chassis. In the toe part there is also a large Snow Clearing Channel where you can easily clear snow and any ice formation with the rod tip. The back binding has Forward Pressure and therefore presses the binding constantly against the boot. This provides the same biasing function as with a traditional alpine rear. This increases performance and safety and absorbs kinetic energy and vibrations. This fact also ensures that the specified release value is kept constant during the ride. User Friendly Heel Rotation means that the rear part can be rotated in both directions, regardless of the left or right hand grip. Intuitive heel raiser in three height levels.
