G3 ZED 12 Ski Touring

The G3 ZED 12 is the next generation of lightweight, high-performance touring bindings, developed from the proven ION platform. The goal was to redefine the category by focusing on simplicity and efficiency, enabling backcountry skiers to go further and do more in the mountains.

Despite its minimal weight (358 g per single binding, without screws), the ZED is loaded with a full yet simple feature set. The toe piece is designed for optimal elasticity, ensuring maximum energy absorption and minimizing pre-release. The wide Freeride mount and the durable metal wrap-around base transfer power and precision to the ski, while also providing excellent pull-out resistance.

Convenience is assured by a streamlined shape, a simple boot stop for effective step-in guidance, and Single Tool Simplicity (all adjustments made with a Pozi #3 driver). Anti-snowpacking features built into the toe and heel keep the binding clean of snow and ice, inspiring confidence in the step-in.
