​The AM 12 binding is the successor to the RX 12 and is a top of the line binding providing maximum safety. The toe piece features full diagonal release including release in backward twisting falls that often cause torn ACLs. The Grip Walk toepiece has a lateral sliding release plate designed to work even when the boot sole is covered with dirt or ice.
The heel piece allows for lateral release once the boot begins to lift at the heel. This lateral release lowers the chance of leg injury in a forward twisting fall.
