G3 zed 9 review11/10/2023 Optimal toe elasticity for maximum energy absorption & minimized prerelease. Update 2020/21: This binding was renamed the ZED 12 to differentiate from the new ZED 9. They also stiffened the heel compression springs to reduce longitudinal play when skinning. Anti-snowpacking features built into the toe and brake designs keep snow away and make for a confidence-inspiring step-in. Update 2019/20: G3 updated the design to not require the use of previously-included stomp pads when skiing the Zed without brakes. And you'll still have the energy to go back up for more. With the ZED we set out to define the next generation of lightweight high-performance touring bindings. Starting with the proven platform of the ION, we looked at every part, every mechanism, and every screw to evolve. New for 2022, an updated and sleek black colour scheme. The wide mount of the binding creates a stable platform to elevate power transfer and precision from boot to binding to ski, meaning you can ski the line you just spent hours to get to with confidence and power. Fine-tuned for lighter users, the ZED 9 strikes an ideal balance of a lightweight build, easy-to-use feature set, and uncompromised downhill performance and safety. /rebates/2fg3-zed-9-no-brakes&252fg3-zed-9-no-brakes26tc3dbing-&idgearx&namegearx&ra4. When it comes time to descend, you'll appreciate the elasticity in the toe that provides maximum energy absorption for a smoother ride, as well as minimizes the likelihood of a pre-release. Anti-snowpacking features are built into the toe to prevent snow and ice from building up and compromising your step-in, and, if you need to adjust the Zed on the fly, you can do so with a single tool. G3's QuickFlick heel lifts offer up to different heights for proficiency on steep skintracks, and are easy to deploy with the flick of your ski pole. With a single screw to fully adjust the vertical and lateral release as well as a trimmed-down shape, the Zed definitely walks close to the line of a minimalist binding, yet has everything you need for a confidence-inspiring descent and optimal efficiency on the ascent. The new Zed 9 Binding is G3's lightest binding, borrowing all the best elements from the well-loved Ion to create a set of clamps that can take you further and still offer up the reliability you require when you're far back in the mountains.
