Naxo Nx21

Naxo is launching an updated binding for next season, the Nx21 aimed at “freeskiers”. The original Nx01 had an inovative pivot mechanism that made uphill skinning and conversion “kick turns” easier than the forward pivotted Fritschi bindings. It also closely resembled an alpine ski binding and was aimed at cross-over backcountry skiers. However it suffered a number of teething problems in its first year.

The all new Naxo Nx21

The Nx21 has beefed up some of the fragile parts of the Nx01 and replaced plastic with aluminium. The center link bar has also been reinforced. One of the criticisms of the original Nx01 was flex and this will make a more rigid and precise binding. There is a locking level to make sure the binding stays in ski mode even when hucking cliffs and in the bumps. The binding should be of interest to big mountain skiers using large boards and performance boots such as the Garmont Adrenaline.

Hi David, as-tu idée du poids cette nouvelle Naxo, y’aurait-il un “léger” mieux?

Hi Luc,

I have no information on the weight except that the the Nx21 is supposed to be slightly heavier.
