Black Crows S7T Navis set, 102 mm + straps, T12 binding

Complete downhill set with mounted binding

Don't you want to deal with mounting bindings and drilling into skis? When you get the set, everything is done, you just set it comfortably on your shoe and you can go. The binding is drilled on a rental pad, which allows a size range of 285-345 mm.

Skis black crows Navis Freebird 21/22

Bruno Compagnet designed the Navis Freebird skis for his expeditions to Patagonia, Greenland and the big ski runs in Chamonix. If, like him, you believe in beautiful long lines in the mountains, where you want to enjoy every second, then the Navis Freebird is your ideal ski. The hybrid core of paulownia and poplar, the width of 102 mm and the low weight give the Navis Freebird the characteristics of freeride skis, with which you can complete even the most demanding ascents. The tuned combination of carbon and fiberglass makes the skis stable on all types of snow.

Unevenness, high speed or changing snow will not disturb your stability in the arch

Do you expect a perfect descent with long bends even at higher speed from every hike? Then Navis Freebird will definitely make you happy! They are prepared for different terrains with different types of snow, which you can enjoy to the fullest thanks to their excellent driving characteristics - and with perfect stability.

• The hybrid core with poplar - used in downhill and freeride skis - absorbs vibrations and provides peace of mind to the skis, which also hold perfectly even when the snow changes or when crossing unevenness.
• Carbon and fiberglass reinforcement - gives the skis increased longitudinal and torsional rigidity - you will definitely feel it even at higher speeds.
• Reinforcement under the binding from Tinanal - absorbs vibrations, ensures stability when crossing unevenness - even at high speed, the ski is calm and stable.
• Progressive rocker - 38 cm, 21% of the ski - gives the skis buoyancy when entering soft snow and copies terrain irregularities well - the skis do not "kick".
• Camber on the central part - thanks to the long effective edge, you will feel stable even when in contact with snow - the ski will not shoot in the arc.

Sheer joy from simple control

The upper parts of the slopes are often steep and full of narrow places, where you will appreciate the easy handling of Black Crows skis the most. Navis Freebird were designed so that even when driving fast, when you often have to change direction or avoid bumps, they listen to your word. Pomáha im k tomu -

• The straight part behind the tip - shifted point where the cut ends - the ski is more agile, you can easily change direction with it, but at the same time it remains stable even in a long arc.
• Tuned longitudinal stiffness - softer tip and heel, stiff middle - when loaded in an arc, the ski bends more easily and creates the angle needed for turning - easily and quickly without losing stability.
• Double radius - the ski touches a longer edge after leaning into a curve than when driving straight - the ski is spinning, but at the same time it doesn't force you to go into a curve if you want to enjoy speed on the plains.
• Rocker and raised foot - shortens the contact edge - enables easier entry into the arch.

Ideal skis for big mountains and for freeride in the resort

You will appreciate the Navis Freebird skis on demanding hikes with long descents, where the conditions often change, as well as on the downhill runs in the resort. You won't be surprised by an ice layer, a frozen firn, or a hard rutted slope. Carbon and fiberglass combined with a poplar core give the skis excellent grip on hard snow. The width of 102 mm in combination with the progressive rocker allows you to ride on different types of snow without having to change skis or wait for better conditions.

Fritschi Tecton 12 binding

The first freeride binding that combines the safety and riding properties of a downhill binding with the light weight and walking comfort of a ski mountaineering binding. Now reinforced with carbon and glass fibers.
The Fritschi Tecton 12 binding is designed for freeriders who demand uncompromising ride characteristics, high safety and low weight for off-piste virgin powder. Fritschi Tecton 12 is the first freeride spike binding with a safety tip and the stiffest downhill heel on the market . For all those who are looking for bindings for the slopes and pedaling, but do not want to compromise on factors such as safety or binding stiffness and driving characteristics.

The main advantages of the Fritschi Tecton 12 binding:

• It turns off reliably and with Swiss precision only at the moment of a fall, not when the terrain is uneven (the toe and heel of the binding can absorb shocks thanks to dynamic elasticity).
• It switches off purposefully even in walking mode - when covered by an avalanche, loss of balance during ascent or falling during short descents on tracks.
• Rigid downhill heel for perfect transmission of forces from the legs to the skis - perfect downhill properties.
• The sliding heel adapts to the bending of the ski, so you can use its full potential.
• Possibility to switch from walking mode to downhill mode without untying the shoes.
• Controlling the tying with a mallet or with a simple twist is a bonus that will make an all-day hike more enjoyable .

Pedaling and yet downhill binding

Downhill bindings are proven and their heel construction is unsurpassed, and that's where the Fritschi Tecton 12 comes from. Its rigid, non-rotating heel without a joint has no play and enables direct transfer of ski forces to each edge of the ski. Thus, better controllability and driving safety are achieved. Furthermore, a better transmission of forces is also achieved by means of:

• the spoon is pressed by the jaw of the heel on a large area,
• the grooves in the heel fit into the inserts on the shoe and thus increase the lateral stiffness of the binding,
• I lean the ski boot on the heel pad,
• large screw spacing,
• by attaching the heel directly to the ski,
• large and wide contact area under the toe and heel.

The heel of the binding is loaded with 4x more force than the toe when riding, which is why the Tecton 12 has a sensitive toe and a stiff (downhill) heel. Thanks to the precise transfer of the load to the edge of the ski , you will fully enjoy your ride.

Really stiff heel for a perfect riding experience

The spoon does not move even a millimeter in the heel thanks to the Power Rail grooves, which protrude from the heel and fit exactly into the grooves in the ski boot intended for the rear binding tips. In this way , the spoon is fixed in the vertical and horizontal direction and your every movement is transferred from the ski boot to the ski without loss of energy. Thanks to this, you will be able to control the skis perfectly and have the much-needed confidence when driving. This will be appreciated not only by every good rider, but also by a beginner who is still getting used to free terrain.

Excellent skiing thanks to the active heel

The active sliding heel adapts to the ski boot by up to 10 mm when the ski bends during the ride and enables smooth bending of the ski along its entire length, which is a necessary feature of the binding for perfect skiing. A binding that does not have an active heel will prevent the ski from bending, stiffening the middle, and the ski will bend only before and behind the binding, which significantly worsens its driving characteristics. Fritschi has eliminated this problem, which is why the Tecton 12 binding is also great for all-day skiing in the resort.

The highest safety for spike bindings

The Fritschi Tecton 12 ski mountaineering binding is based on the design of a downhill binding, where the toe switches off to the sides according to the DIN switch-off force setting . Thanks to this, it shuts off precisely under rotational forces and does not cause torsional fractures. Health and safety is the main principle that the Swiss manufacturer Fritschi deals with in the development of its products. Safety is more important than weight.

Only turns binding off when you really need it

With classic spike bindings, it is easy to accidentally switch off during a descent, which can have fatal consequences on steep descents. The construction solution of both the tip and the foot of the Tecton 12 binding has a dynamic elasticity of 13 mm or 9 mm, which in other words can be imagined as clearance to absorb the forces arising from driving over bumps or sudden impacts. Even when driving vigorously on hard or heavy snow , there is no unwanted shutdown.

• The Fritschi Tecton 12 doesn't shut off too soon, but only after overcoming 13 mm of lateral travel in the toe and 9 mm up in the heel.
• This path is sufficient to consume energy so that the binding does not switch off unintentionally after a short-term exceedance of the set tripping force DIN - in the event of a jump or bumping into an unevenness.
• The binding turns off to the side even with the toe set for walking - an important feature when buried in an avalanche, losing balance during ascent or falling on short descents on tracks.

The dynamic elasticity of the Fritschi Tecton 12 binding is the same as the downhill binding that the Fritschi company has been producing for more than 30 years and today uses this know-how in the development of skialp bindings.

Safe and lightweight freetouring binding

The weight of the equipment is also important, which is why the Fritschi Tecton 12 binding is made of carbon, glass fibers, now complemented by proven modern polymers. From design to production, everything takes place in Switzerland. Polymers reinforced with carbon and fiberglass are lighter than metal parts and at the same time have higher strength and durability. Although light weight is very important, the Fritschi brand always prioritizes safety and reliability.

Easy to turn on even on a steep slope

The new generation Fritschi Tecton 12 has an innovative designed tip that you can "kick" even blindly because it has:

• stops from below,
• stops from the sides,
• stop on the tip of the ski boot,
• sensitive trigger.

Thanks to this, when the toe ski is turned on, the ski is precisely guided into the correct position - it is located between the spikes and a sensitive trigger, and even with a little pressure it releases the spikes, which fit exactly into the inserts in the ski boot.

Other key binding properties

• Comfortable control with a mallet or with bent knees - you can comfortably switch the binding to the rising position and adjust the heel with the mallet. To switch to downhill, the binding of the Fritschi Tecton 12 can be controlled with just the wand without the need to bend down to bind.
• Switching from downhill to ascent without turning off the spoon - you can comfortably switch from downhill to walking with the Tecton 12 binding by lifting the heel, when the entire heel is subsequently pushed back. You will appreciate this during ridge hikes or short passages of descent during the ascent, when it is safer to turn the heel into the downhill position with the belts.
• It does not freeze - the Fritsichi Tecton 12 ski binding is designed so that snow does not get into it, which could compress and turn into ice. Therefore, the binding works reliably in any snow and temperature.
• Adjustable binding dimensions – The heel of the binding is adjustable up to 25 mm (60 mm when using a rental mat). The binding is not compatible with "noseless" spoons TLT 7, TLT 8, DNA, PDG, Arcteryx Procline, and all that have a shank shorter than 6 mm, such as Atomic Backland (an extension is required here).
• Drilling for any skis - Fritschi Tecton 12 has easily replaceable brakes and thanks to this it is possible to drill the binding for any other skis.
• Harshajzny - the binding is compatible with Harshajznym and there is no need to switch off the binding when putting them on. The binding is also adapted to use a safety line.

Belts Kohla Vertical

Durable climbing belts suitable for pedaling on the slopes and in open terrain. You will love them thanks to their versatility, ease of use and long service life.
It doesn't matter whether you are pedaling on the slopes or in open terrain. With KOHLA VERTICAL Mixmohair belts you can combine both - they are really versatile. The Mixmohair type means that the climbing belts have an admixture of Nylon, which makes them very durable with great durability. Among other things, they hold perfectly and do not slip, and thanks to the new Smart Glue technology, they hold perfectly on skis. At the same time, they peel off easily. In short, climbing thousands of meters is a bit more pleasant with these belts.

• Material of rising layer: Mixmohair
• Adhesive layer material: Smart Glue
• Version: Multifit
• Temperature: -30 °C
• Membrane: No, vulcanized layer - 100% waterproof
• Impregnation: Yes - fluorocarbon
• Can be trimmed for any ski: Yes
• Package includes: bag, cutting knife

Smart Glue – newly developed glue

One of the things that you need with skialp belts is that the adhesive (adherent) layer holds firmly on the slide even in the most demanding conditions. The Austrian manufacturer KOHLA is a leader in adhesive layer technologies and is constantly improving and innovating them. The proof is the newly developed Smart Glue, which you can really rely on and it holds great even in really cold weather.

• When gluing ski mountaineering belts with Smart Glue glue, you do not need to use a separation film and you only need 60% of the force to unglue compared to standard belts.

Excellent slide

The climbing belts KOHLA VERTICAL Mixmohair are fast, have an excellent slide, will not slow you down in fast movement and will save the much-needed energy during a transition of several days. This is thanks to the mohair used and the method of braiding the fibers:

• mohair fibers, their cut and quality, are chosen exactly so that they are fast and have the best possible glide even on variable snow
• the fibers have a special treatment that improves the glide even more
• the use of a longer fiber significantly increases the resistance and life of the belt while maintaining a very fast slide.

It holds firmly even in spring weather

In order for the climbing belt to reliably hold on the slide, both the slide and the adhesive layer must be dry. If moisture from the snow gets on the glue, it stops working, peels off, freezes and doesn't hold. For this reason, these KOHLA VERTICAL Mixmohair climbing belts use vulcanization technology, in which the fiber is directly sealed into the bottom layer and the belt is therefore 100% waterproof. So you can enjoy your ski tour without worries, because the glue holds firmly, does not freeze and works great even in spring winters on wet snow.
Belts with vulcanized technology have a longer lifespan, because the hair is woven into the fabric and at the same time baked into the underlying rubber. Thanks to this, the belt does not get wet and has a significantly higher grip in demanding spring conditions.

Impregnated climbing belts

Good risers must hold well on the skis and glide well on the snow. Wet snow can stick to wet tracks, and there is nothing more annoying than having to drag half a kilo of snow on your leg. The belts stop sliding and it takes a lot of force unnecessarily. All KOHLA climbing belts are impregnated with fluorocarbon and snow does not stick to them.

• The impregnation repels moisture and thus prevents snow from sticking to the fibers.
• The impregnation improves the glide - climbing belts are faster and movement is easier.
• Impregnation increases the resistance of the fibers - climbing belts last longer.
• Climbing belts dry faster.
• The impregnation is environmentally friendly - without solvents and toxic substances and is biodegradable.

Still like new

With frequent use or after several seasons, the impregnation effect may decrease. In this case , you can easily renew it with KOHLA DRY CLIMB skin impregnation spray or KOHLA impregnation wax. The wax is small and convenient to have on a hike in a backpack, especially for a several-day transition.
