The CORE Kneebinding is new for 2015, featuring the widest mount area of all models, to suit wider skis. With a versatile DIN range of 3-12, this binding helps prevent ACL and other knee injuries. The screw pattern remains at 52mm as with the other Kneebinding systems, but the base mount plate has been widened to drive more power to the ski edges. Knee Bindings provide a third dimension to reduce the risk of ACL injuries & tears
- a Pure Lateral TM heel release which can detect the forces that cause most knee injuries, & can release directly sideways before such an ACL injury can occur
- all without pre-release issues! The only proven way to mitigate knee injuries on skis is with Pure Lateral TM heel release & only Knee Binding has it. Edge & Wax are a stockist of the Kneebinding system, because through our sales of custom fitted ski boots, knee braces, the ski~mojo system and Kneehab we have seen the impact of ACL injuries, & therefore this product is potentially of great benefit for those who have experienced ACL injuries & have had reconstruction, or simply those wanting to reduce the risk of an ACL injury in the first place. These are premium USA made high-performance bindings
- with all the convenience & reliability youd expect, & even better performance & retention. Knee Bindings are better bindings
- & theyre a whole lot safer. 1/3 of all reported ski injuries involve knee ligaments, including 70, 000 torn ACLs (anterior cruciate ligaments) each year. Most require major surgery & many months of painful physical therapy. Over 20% of the injured never ski again. Ordinary bindings dont have any way to prevent these injuries
- not one. Not diagonal or turntable or upward toe releases. Not one of them. All other alpine bindings release sideways at the toe or forward at the heel, & do not have any way to protect your knees. The worlds only carbon-fiber binding blends industrial resins with hi-tech carbon fibers to increase strength & rigidity. This makes the coupling even tighter & stiffer, providing more feedback to the skier & more precise transmission of energy to the ski. Totally cool in Carbon Black & Vector Red.

The feedback has been hugely positiv
