Fritschi Vipec 12 100 mm

Automatic translation Original description available here

Power is transmitted directly from the shoe to the ski thanks to the broad support and high degree of stability of the complete system. As a result, the most rapid downhill run in deep powder becomes pure pleasure.

Analog to modern triggering systems of alpine bindings, lateral release is based on automatic toe release. Active length compensation provides a defined release, even when the ski is bent.

Equipping the binding with an extremely low weight of only 470 g per unit (without brakes) with comfort features as well as triggering mechanisms from a different league is a technological masterpiece.

Boot compatibility

The Diamir SAFETY PIN SYSTEM comprises several patented technologies enabling a defined release even when the ski is bent.
Compatible with all popular ski touring boots with corresponding inserts.

The only pin binding compatible with all standard ski touring boots with pin tech inserts. The front pins are adjustable to the different width of the pin tech inserts of all manufacturers.

Three times the power

The vital factors of direct power transmission are sufficient space between the mounting points, lateral stability of the system and a perfect grip of the edge, even when the skis are bent.

Toe Power

The system is extensively supported by an optimal arrangement of the mounting screws holding the torsion-resistant front housing. There is no pin binding with better support via the front mounting points than the Diamir Vipec 12.

Heel Power

In earlier pin bindings, the movements of the rotating heel part resulted in a loss of stability. With the precise arrangement over the entire length of the stable heel housing on a torsion-resistant plate, which is directly attached to the ski, the Diamir Vipec 12 achieves maximum traction, even in the heel area.

Flex Power

With the automatic heel system gliding back and forth on a guiding plate, the active length compensation of the SAFETY PIN SYSTEM ensures the best possible natural flex of the ski and thus always achieves a perfect grip across the entire length of the edge.

Step-in / Step-out

Easy Switch Concept

Step-in / step-out made very easy with Easy Switch Toe and Easy Switch Heel.

Step-in

To step in, set the Easy Switch Toe to the STEP IN position and the Easy Switch Heel to the SKI position.

Simply move the tip of the boot forward over the step-in bracket in the toe unit and engage the toe pin units.
The Easy Switch Toe is automatically set to the downhill position.

Step-out

With a ski pole, the Easy Switch Toe can be conveniently set to the step-in position (bottom).The toe pin units will open and release the boot.

Boot compatibility

The only pin binding compatible with all standard ski touring boots with pin tech inserts.

Due to the difference in the width of the front pin inserts and the height of the bottom of the boots, other pin systems either close too tightly or not tightly enough.

Adjustment to the pin tech inserts

Another small, but very important technical detail: The SAFETY PIN SYSTEM always closes completely when in use.
In contrast, the function and defined safety release of the Diamir SAFETY PIN SYSTEM are individually adjustable to all ski touring boots with pin tech inserts and thus fully compatible.

The system is set via an adjustable pin.

Uphill mode/ Downhill mode

Easy Switch Concept

With a ski pole, the Easy Switch Toe and the Easy Switch Heel it is very easy to switch between downhill and uphill mode.

Uphill mode – including release

The SAFETY PIN TECH allows pin bindings to do what used to be reserved for bindings with jaw system: releasing in uphill mode.

In older pin bindings without release in uphill mode the toe unit is blocked while climbing to secure and laterally stabilize the tip of the boot. In addition, the system especially ensures that the pin levers will not inadvertently open as a result of lateral forces acting on the boot.

In the SAFETY PIN TECH, on the other hand, the toe pin units secure the tip of the boot without being blocked in uphill mode and will only release if necessary.
Additionally, the torsional forces acting on the tip of the boot are compensated by a special mechanism, providing the boot with optimum lateral stability for a secure footing.

The system can be set to the uphill mode in two easy steps.

With the Easy Switch Toe in the WALK position, the tip of the boot is additionally stabilized laterally in the toe unit.

With the Easy Switch Heel in the WALK position the heel is released to allow walking.

Downhill mode

It doesn’t get any easier. Lift the boot slightly above the heel pins, set the Easy Switch Heel to the SKI position and engage the boot with the heel insert via the heel pins. Then set the Easy Switch Toe to the SKI position.

Adaptation to the slope angle

Comfort Lever for three walk mode levels 2°/9°/13°

Adapting the walk mode to the slope angle is a breeze. The three optimally synchronized walk mode levels can be set in no time.

The uphill mode (Easy Switch Heel in uphill mode) also corresponds to the first walk model level (2°).
The second walk mode level (9°) is activated by simply pushing the Comfort Lever 1 forward.
For walk mode level 3 (13°) switch the Comfort Lever 2 to the Comfort Lever 1.
The walk mode levels can be changed at any time and very easily with a ski pole.
