Intro

The sturdiest binding by the Slovak brand maintains their minimalist approach while not being quite as weight conscious. The brake on the toe piece is easily removed, as with the GR 98, and there is a 10 mm adjustment track under the heel, where you can pick a tower with a release value of 6, 8 or 10. For adjustable release settings you need to go for the Tour model, which also has flat mode and two riser heights of 34 and 57 mm, the only one with a flap. As with the other Grizzly models, it uses lateral entry into the front pins.
