{"product_id":"salomon-s-lab-shift-16","title":"Salomon S\/Lab Shift² 16 MN Alpine Touring Ski Bindings 2027","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThe original Shift changed the game. Before it, you generally had to choose between a lightweight pin binding that climbed well but sacrificed downhill performance, or a heavy frame binding that skied well but felt like dragging anchors uphill. The Shift gave skiers a legitimate alpine binding on the way down and a true pin binding on the way up.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Shift2 16 MN doesn't reinvent that formula—it simply makes it stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe biggest update is obvious: DIN now goes to\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e16 instead of 13. That's great news for bigger skiers, hard chargers, or anyone who regularly maxed out the previous version. More importantly, Atomic and Salomon paired that higher DIN with a new 3-Part Power Heel, borrowing technology from the Strive 16 and STH2 alpine bindings to deliver a more solid, confidence-inspiring feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything else remains refreshingly familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlip the toe into tour mode and the alpine toe transforms into a pin binding for efficient skinning. Switch it back to ski mode and it functions just like a traditional alpine binding. It's still one of the few bindings that genuinely excels at both jobs instead of being mediocre at each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility remains excellent. The MN (Multi Norm) certification means it'll work with Alpine, GripWalk, and touring boot soles, provided your boots have tech inserts in the toe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn snow? Honestly... that's the best part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou don't think about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you're clicked into ski mode, it feels remarkably similar to a traditional alpine binding. Power transfer is excellent, retention is predictable, and there's none of the vague, disconnected feeling many lightweight touring bindings can have. If someone blindfolded you and clicked you into a Shift2 16, you'd be hard pressed to tell it apart from a dedicated alpine binding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes the Armada Shift 16 is the same, just different logo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salomon","offers":[{"title":"Pansy\/Black\/Raspberry \/ 100","offer_id":45845081784399,"sku":"30818369484399","price":799.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pansy\/Black\/Raspberry \/ 110","offer_id":45845081817167,"sku":"30818369517167","price":799.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gunmetal\/Black\/Beluga Metallic \/ 100","offer_id":45845082144847,"sku":"30818369644847","price":799.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gunmetal\/Black\/Beluga Metallic \/ 110","offer_id":45845082177615,"sku":"30818369777615","price":799.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/7046\/0495\/files\/salomon-s_lab-shift2-16-mn-ski-touring-bindings-2027-pansy-black-rasberry-the-ski-monster.png?v=1785366083","url":"https:\/\/theskimonster.com\/products\/salomon-s-lab-shift-16","provider":"THE SKI MONSTER","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
