S/Lab Shift² 16 Mn Alpine Touring Ski Bindings - Gun Metal/Black 2027 FAQ
What boots are compatible with the S/Lab Shift2 16 MN?
The S/Lab Shift2 16 MN is Multinorm (MN) certified, meaning it accepts alpine boots (ISO 5355), GripWalk boots (ISO 23223), and touring boots (ISO 9523). You can use it with a wide range of alpine and touring footwear without needing adapters, which is the core appeal of an MN binding for skiers who own multiple boot types.
Can I switch to tour mode, and how easy is it?
Yes. The S/Lab Shift2 16 MN is a freeride/touring binding that lets you switch between climbing aid positions while still holding your poles. The mechanism is designed for easy transitions, so you're not fumbling with tools or crouching down to make adjustments mid-tour.
Is a DIN of 7-16 right for strong skiers, or is 16 the absolute ceiling?
The 7-16 DIN range covers strong intermediate to expert skiers and heavy riders. At the top end, 16 is a high release value suited for aggressive, fast skiers who need retention without pre-release. If your calculated DIN falls between 7 and 14, you're well within the usable window of the S/Lab Shift2 16 MN.
What makes the AFD on this binding special?
The S/Lab Shift2 16 MN features a micrometric, height-adjustable AFD (Anti-Friction Device) with a single-block aluminum insert. Compared to the previous generation, it delivers 30% more lateral stiffness, which means the binding holds the boot more firmly side-to-side and reduces energy loss between your boot sole and the binding platform.
Will the S/Lab Shift2 fit my skis? What brake sizes are available?
Brake sizes available for the S/Lab Shift2 16 MN are SH90, SH100, SH110, and SH120. Choose a brake width equal to or slightly wider than your ski's waist width. The 30mm BSL adjustment range covers most boot sole lengths within a binding pair.
Will this binding release safely in a lateral fall?
The S/Lab Shift2 16 MN uses a specific pedal mounted on a spring that allows lateral movements and self-recentering. This mechanism lets any normed boot release out of the binding during a lateral fall, providing alpine-equivalent lateral release performance in a touring-compatible binding.
