G3 Genuine Guide Gear will begin selling the new ONYX alpine touring binding later this month through select retail locations.
This limited run of ONYX bindings will be sold as part of a beta program in which consumers will be requested to participate in a streamlined feedback process. “This unique beta program will ensure that the ONYX binding lives up to our core user’s highest standards. It will ensure that the ONYX is positioned to become the alpine touring binding of choice,” says Oliver Steffen, G3’s President.
Consumers will be requested to enroll in the ONYX beta program via www.g3onyx.com, where they will be able to electronically complete and submit bimonthly feedback forms. G3’s ONYX design and development team will track and respond accordingly to all shared feedback, and consumers will receive G3 gear in exchange for their participation in the program. In addition, G3 will remain committed to ensuring that ONYX bindings enrolled in the Beta Program receive any adopted upgrades free of charge until December of 2009 (after this time period, G3’s standard product warranty will apply).
To discover where Onyx bindings will be available, please contact G3 customer service at 604-924-9048. To learn more about the G3 ONYX, please visit www.g3onyx.com.
