We shape skis; skis shape us.
Where every ski takes shape.
Against the wall, timber planks stand upright. Around them, sheets of aluminum and rolls of fiber wait along the floor. At the center, a machine the size of a boulder turns drawings into material. You smell the resin before you see any of it. Prototypes stand in a row, each one a hunch, a hypothesis, a sensation we carry up to the snow. This is where every ZAG ski takes shape, within reach of the north faces, before it ever touches the mountain.
What Alpine " Bindings " does ZAG offer?
4 Salomon Strive models in the 26/27 catalog. The Strive 10, the Strive 12 GW: DIN 4–12, brakes 90, 100, and 115 mm, 460 g. The Strive 14 MN: DIN 5–14, brakes 90, 100, and 115 mm, 492.5 g. The Strive 16 MN: DIN 7–16, brakes 100 and 115 mm, 562.5 g. All three feature a low stop that lowers the center of gravity.
What is the difference between an insert-style Binding and a hybrid Binding ?
The insert-style Binding , or “pin,” is the lightest system: the boot clips onto two metal pins at the front, and the heel locks into a rear stop when skiing downhill. The hybrid Binding combines a classic alpine heel piece with a walking system: it’s heavier, but provides downhill stability similar to alpine skiing. It’s designed for skiers who want a single setup for both resort and Touring.
How do you choose your DIN range?
It should be appropriate for your weight and skill level. A range of 4–10 covers most Touring skiers; a range of 3–11 offers more flexibility for both lighter and more experienced skiers. In advanced alpine skiing, Bindings go up to DIN 15 or 16.
How do you choose your DIN range?
The width of the brakes must match the base width of your skis. The FORGE[Tour] is available in 91, 97, and 102 mm, while the FORGE[Pro] also comes in a 108 mm size.
Are my shoes compatible with an " Binding " with inserts?
Only if they are equipped with low-tech inserts, which can be identified by the two metal notches at the front of the shell. Without these inserts, only alpine or hybrid Binding is possible.
