The new Almonte 12 PT pin binding, the top model of the new touring line, combines great uphill features with unprecedented downhill performance. This TYROLIA innovation combines the best touring features in one product – starting with the toe piece, which scores with an ergonomic toe lever (can be operated by pole or hand) and simplified step-in. Thanks to the optimized, narrower pins open position, correct positioning of the ski boot is a breeze. The Almonte heel is a sure winner with a super easy switch between hike and ski mode, as well as an automatic brake, where all locking parts are inside to avoid icing. Three climbing aids (0/6.5/12) ensure a comfortable ascent. With the help of the included performance spacer, the boot-binding setup can be fine-tuned, optimizing power transmission and taking downhill performance to a new level. Following the “Explore new paths” motto, a new approach was also taken to the use of materials – to ensure that all plastic parts of the binding are made from renewable raw materials. These features and the light weight of 325g, including brake, make the new Almonte binding the ultimate pin binding. Touring enthusiasts will love the lightness and ease of use on the ascent and the maximum skiing performance on the descent.
