Salomon S/LAB Shift² 13 MN Bindings
Who it's for: Freeride and backcountry skiers who want a single binding that skis like an alpine setup and tours efficiently on the way up. The Shift² 13 covers the majority of aggressive skiers — DIN 6–13, skier weight 66–125kg — without the extra mass of the 16. If you're not regularly skiing at DIN 11 or above, this is the right model.

The Shift² 13 uses a tech pin toe in walk mode and flips to a full alpine DIN toe on the descent. Flip the hike-and-ride switch, the pins retract, and you're in a TÜV-certified DIN binding. At 920g per binding, it's meaningfully lighter than the 16 while covering the DIN range most aggressive skiers actually use.
The Shift² revision brings two key upgrades over the original: a redesigned Power Block AFD that holds its height setting through a full season without the creep the original was known for, and a revised brake lock system. Multi-Norm certified, it accepts Alpine (ISO 5355), GripWalk (ISO 23223), and Touring (ISO 9523) boot soles — touring boots require tech inserts at the toe for walk mode engagement. A touring-capable alpine binding for skiers whose priority is descent performance first.
What Makes It Work
Hike & Ride Switch
In walk mode the toe engages like a tech pin binding — free-pivoting and efficient on the skin track. Flip the switch and the pins retract, revealing a full DIN alpine toe for the descent. The transition takes seconds and you stay in the binding.
Power Block AFD
A single-block aluminum insert with a metal-on-plastic interface that holds its height setting through a full season. The original Shift's AFD was known to creep over time — the new design locks in place, keeping lateral power transmission and release values consistent.
Multi-Norm Certified
TÜV certified and compatible with Alpine (ISO 5355), GripWalk (ISO 23223), and Touring (ISO 9523) soles. One binding works across your resort boot, your GripWalk boot, and your touring boot — provided the touring boot has tech inserts for walk mode engagement.
Improved Brake Lock
The Shift² redesigns the brake lock system from the original. Brakes engage positively in both ski and walk modes and stay where you put them — a known weak point on the first-generation Shift that's been addressed in the ² revision.

Also available from Atomic and ArmadaThe Shift² 13 is the same binding across all three brands — same mechanism, same specs, different colourway. The Atomic version comes in Black/Bronze; the Armada version in Black. If the brake width you need is available in another brand's colourway, that's the one to go with — the performance is identical.
