1.1. Important warnings
• G3 strongly recommends only mounting ENZO R
bindings in newly drilled holes. Using holes from
a previously mounted binding could result in
binding pullout.
• Any custom modifications to the binding will
invalidate the warranty, and could put the skier at
risk of injury.
• Prior to each use the bindings should be checked
for any broken parts. If anything is defective or
broken please return the binding to an authorized
dealer for service.
• Skiing without a ski leash can put others at risk,
as well as the risk of loss of the ski and binding.
• Ski touring is a demanding sport in which
environmental conditions and terrain can
change quickly and be hazardous. Obtain proper
training and rescue equipment before ski touring,
and don’t overestimate your abilities. Always make
use of all available weather and avalanche condition
information prior to touring.
• Do not ski tour alone.
• During transport, bindings can become contaminated
with salt, dirt and other contaminants that can
alter or impair the performance. Cover your bindings
during transport to reduce this risk.
• Any unintended use of the binding will void the
warranty, and could put people at risk.
• Use only genuine G3 accessories for ENZO R
bindings to ensure that the safety, performance or
any other design feature is not compromised.
1.2. Boot Compatibility
• The G3 ENZO R binding is only compatible with
75 mm/Duckbill telemark ski boots (ISO 22264).

1.3. Sizing
• G3 ENZO R bindings come in two sizes:
• Small bindings fit mondo boot size 25.0 and
below
• Medium/Large bindings fit mondo boot size
25.5 and above
WARNING: Although Small size ENZO R bindings will
physically fit boot sizes larger than 25.0, skiing Small
bindings with boots larger than mondo 25.0 will invalidate the
binding warranty, may result in binding failure or binding pull
out from ski and could put the skier at risk of injury.
2. Mounting and Installation
• The installation of the binding should only be
performed by an authorized G3 dealer
• NOTE: Use only G3 ENZO R mounting screws
supplied with the binding. If the screws have
become stripped or damaged, replace only with
G3 ENZO R mounting screws. Using different
screws may result in damage to the binding or ski,
possible separation of the binding from the ski and
void warranty.
• NOTE: G3 strongly recommends only
mounting ENZO R bindings in newly drilled
holes. Using holes from a previously mounted binding
could result in binding pullout.
• Inspect the ski and binding for any visual signs
of damage or wear. Replace any worn or damaged
parts.
2.1. Mounting Toe
• Always follow the ski manufacturer’s
recommendation for binding mounting location to
ensure that the binding is mounted in the correct
binding mounting area on the ski.
• The G3 ENZO R binding mounting pattern is
compatible with G3 Targa 6-hole binding patterns.
Use a G3Targa Mounting Jig to locate and drill holes
in the ski.
• The G3 ENZO R is designed to mount to skis
with drilled holes sizes from ø3.5 mm x 9 mm to
ø4.1 mm x 9 mm. For skis with metal reinforcement,
follow the ski manufacturer’s recommendation
for ideal drill size and use a tap if required.
• Determine the boot sole length and mark 3-pin
line on ski using either:
a) the ski manufacture’s recommended 3-pin line
for the boot sole length.
b) locating the cord center of the ski.
BOOT SOLE LENGTH (mm)
• Align the jig such that 3-pin line of the boot is
aligned to this mark.
• Fix the jig in place and drill holes using the recommended
drill size; either ø3.5 mm x 9 mm or
ø4.1 mm x 9 mm.
• Remove chips or dust from the holes. Holes
should be tapped only if recommended by the ski
manufacturer.
• Completely fill the holes with an epoxy adhesive
(1 hour cure or slower recommended)
Note: Using Epoxy will make binding removal more difficult,
but will provide the strongest possible mount. Heating epoxied
screws with a soldering iron may make removal easier.

• Install the six supplied 16.5 mm mounting
screws (1) and torque to 4Nm (35 in·lbf)
using a Pozidriv® #3 screwdriver.
• Install the anti-ice plates (4), ensure the rear latch
tab is completely snapped into place, and tighten
anti-ice screw. (1)
• NOTE: to remove anti-ice plates, remove anti-ice
screw and lift front of anti ice place.
2.2. Selecting Activity Setting
• The ENZO R binding has 4 activity settings. The
further toward the rear of the binding the activity pin
setting, the more active or powerful the binding will
feel. The further forward the pin, the more neutral
it will feel. Refer to section 3.1: Activity Setting for
instruction on how to change activity settings.

CAUTION: For skiers that have a “low” or “deep
knee bend style”, G3 recommends a more neutral
setting. This setting will help speed transitions from
edge to edge, and minimize the risk of binding pullouts.
2.3. Setting Cable Length/Tension
• Place the ski boot into the binding and engage the heel
throw, flex a few times to seat the boot in the toeplate
(note: this is best done on the bench).
• Using a Pozidriv® #3 screwdriver adjust the cable
tension so that the preload indicator is inside the
recommended adjustment zone. Adjust both cables
evenly.

CAUTION: A small break-in period is common and to be
expected. The binding tension must be checked after
the first couple of uses, and the tension adjusted as required. G3
recommends checking cable tension regularly, especially if the
heel throw feels weak as it snaps onto the boot heel.
CAUTION: Thread exposure indicates maximum cartridge
adjustment. No threads should be visible. Care must
also be taken to not over tighten the adjusters.
2.4. Mounting Heel
• Place the ski boot into the binding and engage
the heel throw, flex a few times to seat the boot in
the toe plate.
• Lift the heel in to the climbing position, and
position it centred on the ski ~3-4mm (1/8”-5/32”)
from the spring housing as shown
• Mark the centre of the rear track as shown
with a marker, pen or center punch.
• Line up the G3 Targa Mounting Jig to the center
mark and fix the jig in place and drill two holes using
the recommended drill size; either ø3.5 mm x 9 mm
or ø4.1 mm x 9 mm.
• Remove chips or dust from the holes. Holes
should be tapped only if recommended by the ski
manufacturer.
• Completely fill the holes with waterproof wood
glue or an epoxy adhesive (1 hour cure or slower
recommended).
• NOTE: Epoxy adhesive will make adjusting heel for different
boot sizes more difficult.

WARNING: Heel location is important to the
correct operation of the binding. Incorrect heel
position could cause the heel to interfere
with the operation of the binding, or
result in the heel lift moving to the climb
position unexpectedly. Take care to check and
readjust the heel if required if the bindings are used with
different boots.
3. Binding Adjustment
The ENZO R binding features an unprecedented
level of adjustment to suit any skiing style. The key
adjustments are:
• Activity setting: Dramatically adjust the
activity of the binding.
• Spring Selection: Changing to springs of a
different rate dramatically adjusts the “feel”
of the binding.
• Cable Tension/Preload: Fine tunes the feel of
the binding.

3.1. Activity Setting Adjustment
The ENZO R binding has 4 activity settings. The
further toward the rear of the binding the activity
pin setting, the more active or powerful the binding
will feel, and the further forward the more neutral it
will feel. Choose a setting that best represents the
skiers skiing preferences.
Be aware that changing the activity setting in the field will
require readjusting the cable length, requiring a screwdriver.
