Hagan Ski Core 12 Binding

Simple, versatile, powerful. That describes the perfect binding for the latest generation of ski tourers — the HAGAN CORE. If you want the best lightweight free tour set up in the world, you have to go with the HAGAN CORE. The revolutionary CORE binding improves on standard tech bindings for a better skiing, more efficient, and hassle-free backcountry binding. The CORE combines several ingenuous performance innovations: an extremely solid boot/ski connection, no torsional movement, precise release and great descending feel. Improving on the proven performance of tech bindings takes knowledge of what works and what doesn't. The CORE has wide toe and heel mounts that more effectively transfer power to the edges of wide, freeride skis. Forward-pressure heel elasticity via a new patented system E.R.S.® (Elastic Response System) absorbs energy resulting in consistent release values while allowing the ski to flex naturally under compression for improved downhill performance. The heel pivots laterally to provide consistent release and retention. The patented CAM heel system adjusts to impact forces, providing far better control and skiing precision than simple “U Forks.”
