Introducing the G3 TARGA Ascent - telemark's lightest, high performance touring binding.

The TARGA Ascent combines the award winning, lightweight TARGA T/9 with a pole-activated free pivot system, easily switching the binding from tour to ski mode.

In tour mode, the Ascent toe plate pivots unrestricted on a stainless steel axle, eliminating the burden of boot flex resistance. Biomechanically engineered for a natural feel and efficient stride, the Ascent's pivot point is located 7mm forward of the 'pin-line', quickly transforming telemarkers to trailbreakers.

A flick of the switch easily converts the Ascent into an aggressive high performance binding. A stainless steel sliding retainer moves into place above a forged stainless steel retention bar, securing the Ascent into ski mode. The 3° wedge and 40mm rise further enhances the skiing performance over and above its T/9 predecessor, eliminating rocker launch and engaging the powerful G3 compression spring cartridges for outstanding downhill control.

For further touring convenience, the TARGA Ascent also includes a new, pole activated, elastomer-spring climbing heel, providing 70mm of rise and a very clean design.

Accessories for the TARGA Ascent include Climbing Wires and Ski Crampons.

Available with World Cup or XRace Cartridges.
