Salomon has brought an update to the toe of the STH2 for 2021. This update comes in the form of a Transfer Switch Technology. This all-new technology gives you the option to choose between two power transfer modes through a switch found on the toe. The first ‘progressive’ option means that the toe pedal sits on a rubber pad, giving you improved dampening, while the second ‘progressive’ position means the toe will sit on firmer plastic, giving you improved power transmission and response.

“The constant rearward pressure ensures your boot will never pre-release from the binding”

Moving onto the heel of the binding, it features Salomon’s Heel Flex Interface, which is essentially their forward pressure screw that’s always working hard to keep the heel the binding butted up against the back of your boot. The constant rearward pressure ensures your boot will never pre-release from the binding when you’re flexing your skis through high-speed turns.

The heel sits on a platform that’s not only oversized for better power transfer on wider skis, but also features Salomon’s Progressive Transfer Pads which have been designed to absorb any unwanted shocks and vibrations being sent from your skis.

Finally, the whole binding is wrapped up in a steel construction that’s designed to provide near-instant power transfer direct to your skis. Not only this, but the binding also carries the improved durability of the steel construction – essential stuff for a freeride binding designed for experts.
