Salomon: STH 16 B130 Ski Binding

Designed with a special 130-mm. brake bar for ultra-wide freestyle powder skis, Salomon's ultra-strong STH 16 B130 freestyle ski binding with 9 to 16 DIN scale is the perfect platform for launching your biggest tricks. Yep, up to 16 DIN. Considering that some racing bindings usually go up to 14 DIN (sustaining a skier weight of 286 lbs.) and Salomon's vendor workbook didn't even chart this one on their binding technical charts (it just says 209 lbs. and up), it's a pretty safe bet that you're not going to prematurely hurl out of the STH 16 B115 Ski Binding unless you're catching meteors while skiing down the mountain. The STH 16 B115 isn't just the best designed freestyle binding from Salomon--it's one of the best in the industry. Salomon reinforced their freestyle bindings with a metallic reinforced heels and toe units, but kept the same articulated tracks and big-air stomp pedals. If you need the executive summary: It's all stronger and lighter than ever before. That means more frequent flyer time and no moments wasted on fiddling with flimsy components that were never designed to withstand the impacts of extreme landings. The STH 16 B115 has Salomon's High Lateral performance transmission with precise, Micro Simultaneous wing adjustments. The diagonal pivot release system is critical for freestyle skiers who sometimes get moves so wrong that they need to bail safely at all angles. If you want this binding but you don't need the ultra-wide ski brake, check out the slimmer 100-mm. or 115-mm. brake bars on Salomon's STH 16 B100 and STH 16 B115 ski bindings.
