Plum R120

No, this binding is designed specifically for ski mountaineering and backcountry touring. Its ultralight construction and minimalist feature set are optimized for climbing efficiency rather than the repeated high-impact forces found in resort skiing.

The R120 is compatible exclusively with tech-style boots that feature the standard pin inserts in the toe and heel. It will not work with traditional alpine or frame-style touring boots.

Yes, the R120 provides both lateral and vertical release capabilities. This is a key safety feature for a binding of this weight class, ensuring reliable performance in demanding alpine terrain.

The integrated climbing aid is designed for simplicity and speed. It provides one elevated position to reduce calf fatigue on steep skin tracks, keeping the design stripped-back and lightweight.

Yes, this is a drill-required binding. Because it is a precision piece of equipment, we strongly recommend having it mounted by a certified ski technician to ensure the hole pattern and release settings are accurate.

The R120 is engineered for advanced to expert users who prioritize minimal weight for rapid ascents. Beginners may find the minimalist design and specific handling requirements less forgiving than a more feature-rich, heavier touring binding.
