The combination of extremely strong and sophisticated materials, together with Grivel’s advanced technology lie behind the realisation of this crampon, which leaves all the other models on the market far behind. Ten points in contact with ice while you’re walking and twelve that bite into the slope during traverses. The last two front points are Bi-angular to maintain bite when descending or traversing sideways. Even the soles of the most modern boots are perfectly covered. Designed for ski touring, competitive ski mountaineering, classical mountaineering routes and for high altitude or distant expeditions where weight is the determining factor. The model comes with the Flex bar, which allows the foot free movement without over stressing the crampon.
The Air Tech Lite is available in all four of Grivel's binding systems:
New Matic: Toe cup and heel clip- This is the best system for the majority of users, as it is by far the easiest to put on in reality, (i.e when out of the comfort of your home).This system is only suitable for B2 boots with a rear welt.
New Classic: Toe and heel cup- It is fairly simple to use and is most suited to people who are intending on using the crampon mainly for walking and easier winter climbs.This system is designed for B1 boots without front or rear welts.
