The 2020 KneeBinding Carbon 14 is the burliest and lightest member of the KneeBinding group. These bindings are at the forefront of the safety market when it comes to alpine bindings. There are too many skiers out there with scars on their knees from painful and expensive ACL reconstruction or replacement surgery. KneeBinding is out to eliminate these injuries and make skiing a safer sport for you, your friends, and your family. Those of us who have experienced that unnerving pop of the ACL would do a lot to have it not happen again, so a lot of skiers, both young and old, experienced and novice, have turned to KneeBinding for that peace of mind. In addition to the toe release, the KneeBinding also has a fully-lateral heel release that all but eliminates ACL tears and injury. When a skier is in a forward twisting fall in other bindings, the heels only release vertically, but now with the lateral heel release, the ACL joint isn’t torqued like it is on other bindings. In addition to the safety aspect, KneeBinding provides a high-performance product that conforms to all DIN standards. The Carbon 14 is made from a shell of blended industrial resins and incorporates carbon fibers for increased stiffness and performance without adding a lot of weight. The end result is a high-performance binding that is safer than anything else on the market today, especially for top-end skiers.
