FIJACIONES BINDING LOOK HM 12 (HM Rotation 12)

Key Features

• Binding Type : It is a Pin Tech (or Low-Tech, insert) binding, which makes it very light and requires boots with technical inserts in the toe.

• DIN Range : The release range is 5 to 12, suitable for most adult skiers of intermediate to expert level.

• Weight : It is remarkably light for its category, with an approximate weight of 1260 g to 1270 g per pair (including brakes).

• Rotating Toe Piece (Safety Feature) : The most important feature is its toe piece with 45 mm of rotation. This toe piece is elastic, meaning it rotates to absorb lateral impacts and vibrations. This drastically reduces the risk of accidental release (pre-release), offering superior safety compared to static pin bindings.

• Heel Piece (Forward Pressure) : The heel piece exerts a constant 10 mm forward pressure on the boot. This ensures constant contact between the boot and the binding, allowing the ski to flex naturally without affecting the release setting.

• Climbing Aids : Features climbing aids that are easy to manipulate with the pole, facilitating progression on steep slopes.

• Ski Brake : Includes an integrated ski brake that easily locks in uphill mode and automatically releases when switching to ski mode. They are available in various widths (commonly 90 mm or 120 mm).

• Adjustment : Offers a length adjustment of up to 22.5 mm per side (45 mm total) to adapt to different boot sizes or for user changes.

• Certification : Possesses TÜV Certification, confirming that it complies with safety standards for boot release.

The most important element of the Look HM 12 (HM Rotation 12) is its rotating toe piece. Unlike static pin bindings, this toe piece:

• Rotates to absorb impact forces without immediately releasing the boot.

• Increases safety during the descent by improving the elasticity and retention of the boot.

In summary, the Look HM 12 is one of the best options on the market for Free Touring, combining the lightness of a touring binding with the safety and downhill performance of an alpine binding.
