Black Diamond Fritschi Diamir Freeride Ski Brakes

The Fritschi Diamir Brakes are a no hassle alternative to straps in avalanche country. These bindings will work with all current Fritschi bindings. The standard brake fits skis with waist widths up to 94mm; the wide fits skis up to 106mm. –Vendor

Bottom Line: Get brakes, keep skis.

Nice brakes, overpriced.

By:

These are nice brakes and easy to install just like the factory ones. Just to expensive for some wire and plastic. They fit my 115 waisted skis nicely.

Use 'em or lose 'em

By:

Using skis strapped to your body is dangerous. They trap you if you're in an avalanche, and beat you up if you fall. Get rid of your straps and install brakes. I got a pair of these, and feel much better now that they're on my skis. They work fine, no problems. I found good info on installing these at http://wildsnow.com/tips/diamir_brake_install.html

Is there a problem with using the wider brakes on narrower skis,

Is there a problem with using the wider brakes on narrower skis, other than having them stick out further which might be annoying? I.e., is it worth getting the narrower brakes for 90mm skis if I found a well-priced pair of bindings with the XL Plus brakes?

that depends on your skiing style. you could run into three (or more) problems with wider breaks. 1st if you ski with your skis close together you run the risk of when you are skiing the breaks catching on each other. 2nd when edging you might drag the break in the snow. 3rd they could catch on branches and other stuff in the snow.

that said, none of this could happen and they could work just fine.

Work Well, But Heavy

By:
July 16, 2003

These brakes work well, but are rather heavy. For sub-alpine tours, as well as above-treeline tours out East (where the terrain is so steep that brakes aren’t going to stop a ski anyway), I just go brake-less and strap-less to save weight. The savings are noticeable. But for Western trips I swap the brakes back in. I haven’t tried wildsnow.com’s tips for removing the non-brake pad, and instead use some thin screwdrivers to pry it up.

XL/Wide fits up to approximately 108 mm
XL Plus fits up to approximately 120 mm

For the fattest fats, you still end up having to tweak them. The BD Megawatz, for example, have a 125mm waist on the 188cm skis.

Diamir ski brakes

By:
September 23, 2003

The brakes, though I haven't used them yet (no snow yet), should be great. The installation was not a problem.
