Fritschi's improvements to the Std. Lt. Wt. pin-tech -

[neonorchid]

nice only as typical for the breed, still no toe elasticity and latteral release -

Separate springs for and DIN values of lateral heel release and frontal (over the handlebars) release.

Looks like a great competitor. 300g, good price, available with brakes if you want them. Should go head to head with the G3 Zed.

Yeah, looks like it this a nice combo of price, weight and features/safety. INterested to see how it performs once people start testing them.

Did you see the Kingpin M-Werks too? Also looks like a great option, slightly improved functionality, and much lweor weight for the Kingpin. I always thought that with the Tecton and Shift blanketing it weightwise, the Kingpin was in a bit of a tough spot, so a lighter, slightly improved version seems like it could really be a hit.

Vipec and Tecton have this.

I think by "breed" @neonorchid was referring to sub-300g lightweight touring bindings.

But yes, Vipec/Tecton/Shift all have toe elasticity and lateral release. All weight 170-500g more per ski.
