It's so "un" Fritschi-like.
I checked my Plum Guides. They have them.
My BD Helio 200s (ATK Haute Route) don't.
I thought it was a tech binding, defacto standard.

I waivered then couldnt stop thinking about them. Been looking for a pair for soo long i figure i better suck it up or it will torment me. Was thinking of putting xenics on them but that sport conrad deal on the atk's makes more sense for them i think

Ions and Zeds definitely have snow cleaning grooves too.

Update on my broken toepiece, BD sent me a replacement, visually I can't tell a difference but the serial numbers are coded differently, broken one is 110****, new one is R1****. I'm hoping to get out on them by this weekend and will see if the new one is as tough to lock as the original.

I got out for a few laps on the new toe, it was relatively warm (20s F) and both toes engaged with only a mildly-unreasonable amount of force. I couldn't tell the difference between the new and old without looking at the little mark I scored on one of them to differentiate.

I finally actually got the Xenic's on snow... (They were mounted just before shit hit the fan and I'm not a ski town local). Lockout was absolutely brutal to engage, had to pull with both hands - it was in the high 20s out. I'm going to need to figure something out or talk to BD. Crampons work great but have nowhere to attach to a pack for carrying... Any thoughts? Drilling a hole in them for a carabiner frowned upon? Otherwise skied and toured well, no issues getting the boot in or out.

Yeah you'd be fine with a hole (tons of dynafit style crampons have holes in them. But having the cowbells stuck to the outside of your pack isn't a good look :P
TLDR; Ski faster. Quit breathing. Don't crash.

Did you ever try to push down slightly on the tab that says “ski” in the gap in the lever while pulling up on the lever? This solved the problem for me.

I think its like the handle on a hammer that does not need a license agreement
if you see a skier move the boot/tech binding/ski back and forth a few times before clicking down the heel
they know what snow cleaning grooves are and use them
IME most tech users don't know snow cleaning grooves exist/ don't use themLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

A ski binding will be affected by cold but mostly it will be lubricated by snow and or water

Thoughts on pairing the Faction Agent 3.0 (1810g) with the Xenic?

So did they ever address all the issues with the Xenic?

I don't believe so. I warrantied mine last month and they suggested I swap to the Helio because any replacement would have the same issue. I took the credit and am already happier with the Helio's just on the workbench.

Bummer, I'm in the market for a 300g bindings and the sale pricing for the Xenics is tempting. Too bad there's so many issues.
