Pin Up 8 EVO

The Middle Ground That Doesn't Feel Like a Compromise.

The Experience: 

The Pin Up series is HAGAN's all-mountain tech binding sitting squarely between the efficiency-focused Pure series and the power-focused Core FR series, and designed for the modern tourer who wants meaningful downhill capability without paying a significant weight penalty on the skin track. It features ski crampon slots on the toe piece, a taller heel lift range than the Pure series (flat, +34mm, +50mm) for steep and sustained climbs, and brake widths up to 120mm for compatibility with wider all-mountain and freeride-oriented skis. The Pin Up 8 EVO offers the same capable platform with a lower DIN ceiling of 8. At 295g both versions sit only marginally heavier than the Pure series, a weight that is easy to justify given the meaningfully elevated downhill performance and broader ski compatibility they deliver in return.

Ideal For: 

All-mountain tourers who want elevated downhill retention and broader ski compatibility without stepping up to a dedicated freeride binding. Skiers mounting wider Core Carbon or Boost skis who want a binding that keeps pace with more aggressive skiing without the weight of the Core FR series. Tourers who ski varied terrain and conditions and want a single binding that handles everything the mountain offers.

Best Paired With:

Pin Up 10 EVO pairs naturally with the Core Carbon series across all widths and the Boost 94 for all-mountain freeride use. Pin Up 8 EVO is best suited to the Pure series and narrower Core Carbon models.
