THE EVOLUTIONS
OF MEIDJO

In 2011, one year after his decision to design a Telemark product, Pierre assembles and tests his first prototype.

During the next 3 years, he produced numerous prototypes and conducted several secret field test campaigns in order to be able to patent a successful product.

MEIDJO was a hit when it was released in the fall of 2014.

During the winter of 2014-2015 changes are made to improve durability. Commonly called MEIDJO 1.2 - this evolution includes a reinforced springbox and incorporates several improvements.

235 MEIDJO 1 and 275 MEIDJO 1.2 were produced between October 2014 and June 2015.

The MEIDJO 2.0 incorporates a new low-tech and a completely new tension system.

• This new low-tech, more classic design incorporates the easy step-in stops machined in the mass,
• This new tension system incorporates longer springs and an end-of-stroke shock absorber, allowing more ample flex,
• In October 2015, THE M equipment marketed the Alpine heel piece, the knife holder as well as the ski stops in 5 widths,
• These new accessories are compatible with MEIDJO 1,
• Winter 2016-2017: Launch of the RedLine springs, 30% more powerful, which transforms the binding into a real track animal.

The first World Cup tests were carried out at Hintertux in December 2016.

MEIDJO 2.1 is the result of 3 years of field feedback. This version incorporates the following changes:

• A new, more rigid hoop system with wider anchoring on the ski, distributed to improve reliability and improve the binding on light touring skis,
• This new arch system allows the installation of the ski stops without removing the binding and above all integrates the ASP (Anti Snow Pack) which virtually eliminates snow jams,
• Ease of handling when hiking: integration of climbing blocks with side wings,
• During the winter of 2019, THE M Equipment introduced the “step-in” flat shoe: new Spring-Box mechanism (gearbox / connecting rod / touring plate) avoiding raising the spring box before putting it on (we can identify evolution with the appearance of two small ramps on the SpringBox).

MEIDJO 3.0 incorporates the following changes:

• Safety and ease of entry: a new low-tech, extremely powerful and intuitive,
• An eco-designed binding: integration of agro-sourced materials, to reduce our impact on the environment, which better meet the technical constraints of telemark.
