Product Info
When G3 announced a light and fast version of their hit Ion 12 binding last spring, hard core ski tourists sat up and took notice. The Ion 12 took the touring world by storm in 2015 with its superb finish, nearly flat ramp angle, and almost total lack of durability problems, and the G3 Ion LT 12 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings promise to build on that reputation with a lighter and simpler brakeless version. In addition to the nearly flat ramp angle, you'll find that the raised toe allows a ski pole tip to penetrate and clear snow from under the toe jaws. Heelpieces can be rotated either clockwise or counterclockwise for touring, and the lifters work equally well in both directions. Reliability of release when the ski is heavily counterflexed remains consistent thanks to the spring loaded heel track. Best of all, you drop over 100 grams of weight from each ski by losing the brake and toe step in guides.
Product Details
Toe
Wide Toe Jaw Dynamics & Tech Pin Positioning – Optimizes energy transfer and shock absorption. Enhances torsional rigidity of binding, and more directly transfers power to edges of ski.
Snow Clearing Channel at Toe – Added stand height allows snow clearing with ski pole tip.
Robust, Reliable Simplicity – Simple and functional design that users of other tech bindings will be instantly familiar with.
Heel
Forward Pressure Heel – Spring loaded heel track allows binding to move rearward as the ski flexes.
Easy Release Adjustment – Both lateral and vertical release values can be adjusted with a Pozidrive #3 screwdriver.
Tour Mode
Bi-Directional Touring Rotation – Heel may be rotated either clockwise or counterclockwise for skinning.
Quick Flick 3 Position Heel Lifts – Flat, medium and high positions can be adjusted on the fly with a ski pole.

One Size Fits All
G3 Leash Included
G3 Ion Crampons Available Separately – A clip to retain crampons attaches to the toepiece base with 2 screws.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.
