The R 16 is a two piece race binding whithout Freeflex band and therefore lower weight.  Equipped with the Race Toe and Race Pro Heel it delivers optimal adjustment and control on the slopes. This system reduces the impact on the natural flex of the ski to a minimum. Decreased forward pressure, completely redesigned roller pincer systems and wings, plus an intelligent gliding element all add up to a high performance race type system.

Specifications

TRP Toe: A 4 roller system in the toe piece which allows perfect 180 degree release and 30% higher retention ability without compromising safety. It also helps absorb little shocks so they are not all transferred to you.

Race AFD: An intelligent Race AFD gliding element which moves together with the ski flex enabling constant contact between boot and binding in all flex situations.Improved ski control and direct power transmission without wobbling between boot and binding guarantee precise turns, powerful energy transfer and minimal response time resulting in even faster runs.

Race Pro Heel: This heelpiece looses the diagonal release feature, but gains a more solid interface with the ski. The heads of the screws are much closer to the ski, reducing the amount of torque placed on them.

Race Toe: Race Diagonal Toes are tuned for racing purposes. Due to higher release force vertically than horizontally, it holds up to the high backward lean forces that occur in racing.

Race Diagonal:  Diagonal Toe tuned for racing purposes. Due to its higher release force vertically (compared with horizontally), it holds up to the high backward lean forces in racing.
