Armada N SHIFT² MN

The SHIFT² MN is a hybrid binding, meaning it combines the uphill efficiency of tech pins with the downhill security and power transmission of a traditional alpine binding. It allows you to tour into the backcountry and then lock in for a high-performance descent without compromising on safety or feel.

Yes, the 'MN' stands for Multi-Norm, which means these bindings are compatible with almost all modern boot sole standards, including standard alpine (ISO 5355), touring (ISO 9523), and GripWalk boots.

The binding features an integrated switch that allows you to toggle between modes quickly. You simply flip the lever to release the toe piece for touring, and when you're ready to ski down, you lock it back into the alpine position for full downhill performance.

Absolutely. With a DIN range up to 13 and an updated toe construction designed for better power transmission, it is built to handle the demands of aggressive backcountry charging and steep, technical terrain.

Yes, to utilize the uphill touring mode, your boots must have tech inserts (often called pin inserts) in the toe. If your boots do not have these inserts, you will only be able to use the binding in alpine mode.

Yes, it includes integrated climbing aids that can be easily flipped up to provide different heel lift heights, making steep skin tracks much more manageable.
