The Salomon S/Lab Shift2 16 MN is a freeride-touring ski binding designed to combine uphill efficiency with downhill reliability. It lets you switch from a touring mode for skinning to a solid alpine mode for charging descents, making it a versatile choice for big-mountain adventures.
Featuring a 16 DIN release range and a multi-norm heel piece, the S/Lab Shift2 works with both alpine and touring boots. This blend gives you firm retention on the descent while maintaining the lightweight, mobile feel needed for long approaches. The result is a binding that adapts to varied terrain without forcing you to choose between uphill ease and downhill control.
The 16 DIN rating indicates the maximum release force setting, offering strong boot retention when you’re charging through variable snow and steep terrain. DIN settings correspond to the force at which the binding will release your boot, calibrated to your weight, skiing style and boot size—so a higher DIN like 16 delivers extra security on aggressive lines.
