Dynafit Certified Insert, la sicurezza si riconosce dal sigillo arancione.

The pin attack as we know it today has seen the light in the 80s. It was in fact the Tyrolean Fritz Barthel who invented the first tech attack without frame, which took the name of Low-Tech, in harmony with his philosophy of minimalist life, but above all inspired by his laziness, as he loves to tell. The goal of Barthel was to reduce the weight of the attack, to save grams and fatigue uphill. With this idea, the engineer, who still works today for DYNAFIT, has started the global success of the pin attack, an invention that would revolutionize the practice of ski mountaineering in the following decades.

Fritz Barthel About 70% of the ski mountaineering attacks currently sold take advantage of the combination of pins and inserts, and this is not surprising, because the tech attacks have convincing arguments. The advantages of the frameless pin attachmentThe pin mounts weigh, depending on the model, between 70 and 90% less than the classic frame attachment. In addition to the significant weight reduction due to the lack of heavy connection plate, the pin attachment has many other advantages. Thanks to the reduced height, the transmission of energy on the ski is very direct. Moreover, the advantageous rotation point, depending on the model of boot placed at about 1-2 cm behind the tip of the boot, increases comfort on the ascent and allows a natural rotation. Because the heel is mobile and you do not have to lift additional weight, you save energy and move more easily. The fixing of the boot to the tip is now similar to that of the frame attacks, thanks to the patented DYNAFIT inserts called Quick Step-In and Master Step, mounted on all DYNAFIT and Scarpa boots, which have exclusive license. From the standard insert to the Master Step The inserts DYNAFIT Quick Step-In were born in 2007. Compared to the predecessors this insert facilitates 70% insertion into the attack, redefining the simpler life and saving time especially for beginners ski mountaineers, but also to the most experienced. The vertical guides direct the boot that slides almost alone in the attack, significantly increasing comfort especially when you are on a steep slope, in hostile terrain or on snow of unfavorable conditions.Evolution of the Quick Step-In is the Master Step insert , TÃœV certificate, currently used only for DYNAFIT boots, but also exclusively granted to Scarpa. Thanks to a longer hooking guide, which closes in a semi-circle around the pins of the attack, the boot is inserted. The insertion becomes even more convenient and works even easier and faster. The production process has been modified to double the stability of the insert in the boot. The Master Step is therefore especially suitable for the Freeride area, where maximum resistance to stress is required and the connections are calibrated up to the maximum value of DIN16. The original: DYNAFIT certified insertSci, attack and boot become one for the skier, and must be adapted to each other perfectly. Even if you do not see it, the inserts on the toe and on the heel of the boot are an integral part of the pin attachment, and as such they must be considered. DYNAFIT, leading company in the world of ski mountaineering, as an inventor and pioneer of the pin attachment, produces, for the world market, complete systems with TÃœV certification, formed by the attack and the relative inserts, also certified. They are used on the boots of the company, but not only: 90% of boot manufacturers buy the "DYNAFIT certified insert". Brands such as Scarpa, Fischer, Hagan, Tecnica, Lange, Head, Rossignol or Scott rely on the experience and work of development of DYNAFIT, equipping their models with certified inserts, able to ensure compatibility with more tech attacks. common, and at the same time maximum safety in case of release following a fall. The boots with the certified inserts present in specialized shops are recognized by the orange seal on the tip. The advantages of the pin connection: - Low weight - Improved comfort and ride performance thanks to the advantageous turning point - Reduced rise height allows direct transmission of energy to the ski- High safety thanks to intensive testing and constant research - Behavior controlled release - Insert comfort, now comparable with frame connections For more information: www.dynafit.it
