In the 2019/20 season, the Fritschi brand came up with the new Xenic 10 model in the category of light bindings, ideal for skis up to 105 mm under the heel. The Xenic Plus 12 model is new for the 2025/26 season and differs from the classic Xenic with larger DINs and a second heel counter. The Xenic Plus 12 weighs only 295 g (590 g/pair) without brakes and will be especially appreciated by ski mountaineers who pedal more, are concerned about weight, but do not want to compromise on safety and comfort of use.
 

Among other things, the Xenic binding model is the result of the modernization of existing Fritschi technologies and offers users various innovations in safety, user comfort and handling while riding.

Tip and pin jaws from Fritschi

The tip of the Fritschi Xenic Plus binding is the same as the Xenic binding. This is the first binding whose pins open and close laterally, ie to the side and do not rotate around a fixed point. This mechanism offers two main advantages:

  • easy entry into binding
  • much greater resistance to unwanted shutdown in the event of an impact from below, which can occur at higher speed or when hitting the skis
  • it also switches off vertically in walking mode – when covered by an avalanche, loss of balance during ascent or falling during short descents on belts.
  • made of carbon supplemented with proven modern polymers - they are lighter than metal parts and at the same time have higher strength and durability.
  • The binding is reinforced with metal elements on the toe and heel for even greater durability.

You can also attach the harshajs to the tip, which are available in three widths: 85 mm, 95 mm and 105 mm. The tip is also equipped with a place to attach a strap in case of use without brakes.

Swivel heel with adjustable release force

The Fritschi Xenic Plus 12 binding heel combines low weight and safety features that were previously only available in heavier ski touring bindings. The heel platform is wide and offers an optimal transfer of the power transferred to the ski and thus achieves excellent downhill properties. The lateral release force can be adjusted to DIN values ​​from 6 to 12 using a screw on the back of the binding. The precision of the adjustable vertical tripping force is ensured by independently freely rotating pins (an advantage over U-shaped pins) from DIN force 6 to 12.

  • The transition between pedaling mode and skiing is easy and comfortable with the help of a rotating heel. You can more easily rotate the heel of the Fritschi Xenic Plus 12 binding 180° with the folded heel support, which gives you more leverage.
  • The heel can deflect up to 13mm before disengagement to prevent unwanted disengagement from shock and vibration while driving. Also, when bending the ski, where the distance between the tip and the heel is shortened, the heel can move and prevent unwanted shutdown at important moments, while also eliminating damage to the binding.
  • Two heel rests – the first raises the heel at a 7-degree angle and the second at an 11-degree angle – great variability when pedaling on different slope gradients and snow types.

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 cause the ski to bend, the center will stiffen, 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 Xenic Plus 12 binding is also great for excellent riding pleasure.

Light and above all safe skitouring binding

The Fritschi Xenic Plus 12 ski touring binding is the best choice for those who want a light and safe binding for downhill skiing without the need for a toe lock. The Xenic Plus 12 binding is designed more for pedaling, but it can handle downhill with ease. Thousands of climbed meters and great skiing experiences are definitely waiting for you with it.

Easy to turn on even on a steep slope

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

  • bottom stops
  • side stops
  • ski boot tip stop
  • sensitive trigger

Thanks to this, when turning on the tip of the ski boot, it 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.

DIN range on the foot: 6-12
Weight with brakes: 335
Weight without brakes: 290
