Built for maching through deep pow and launching off wind lips, the Rossignol FKS 140 Ski Binding is a burly freeride binding that integrates easily onto fat skis. Re-released due to public demand, this smooth functioning Rossignol binding with the turntable heel and added shock absorption keeps you locked down and eliminates the risk of pre-release.
- Dual Action III toe piece
- Elastic travel, shock absorption
- Turntable heel
- Short mounting zone
- Lateral heel hold
- Extra wide AFD
- XXL brake fits up to 115mm skis
Bottom Line: Back for more freeride domination.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

being on a budget, is it worth the extra doe for these or will freeski2 120 do fine with my new k2 revials?

These are more than worth the extra money, the FreeSki doesn't even compare. Better release characteristics, better duirability, better safety, less (no) prerelease... You can't go wrong with FKSes.

I have these mounted on Rossi S86 Freeride. No complaints in Wisconsin hardpack, ice, or the fresh 5 inches I skied last week. Lots of metal inspires more confidence in me. They will get their true test in Jackson Hole next week.

Is there a forward pressure adjustment on these bindings? I just bought a pair of skis that have these on them mounted for a 305mm boot, which is what I wear. Is there any other adjustments for my specific boot on these bindings, besides the DIN setting?

col696969 (the below answer) is correct.
By: Dawn Mayer

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the forward pressure adjustment appears to be in the threaded rods connecting the dildo part of the heelpiece to the baseplate.

For a lightweight alternative to the 180, go for these. The toe piece is primarily plastic, so if you like to break stuff, upgrade to the 180's but for the mere mortal, these should work. The new wide brake makes it so you don't have to worry about braking a brake. Definitely a must for any serious jibber.

These bindings are bomber. The toe piece in the 140 is a little less burly than the 180's. These are super light and reduce swing weight for jumps because of the shorter mounting zone. These are great bindings that have a cult following.

I got these bindings in dec '09 and i have ridden on them for about a month now. I love them! No complaints at all, and they have ejected when needed and kept me locked in when i wanted them too..
I ride mostly park, and some mountain runs. I am really rough with my skis, and because i ride on the east coast, its that much more noticeable. The bindings i have used before this are salomon z12's, deadbolts 12's, look jib px12's and then these. The fks140's are by far my favorite in terms of durability, look, weight with regard to its durability and its ease of usability.
I would definitely recommend these to a friend. After almost a decade without the pivots, its really good that they are finally back.
WIth regards to backcountry, the shipment was super quick and painless, as always. I'm super stoked on these bindings. Thanks!

The specs for your skis are 130/87/115 mm. 87mm is the waist size. The size Large in these bindings works for a 90mm waist so they will fit just perfectly with the skis you have now!

Have around 5 days on these and so far they've been great. I had them put on some new Sir Francis Bacons and they've treated me well in every circumstance. Never a pre-release and they've performed as expected on some really wicked wipe-outs. They're light but feel very sturdy and they look good too (which doesn't really matter to me but it's a small bonus feature).

I love and swear by this binding. Been skiing some form of the FKS pivot binding for 5 years and these are just as solid as they've always been. Great anywhere on the mountain, these are aggressive bindings for rippers.

Do you think these breaks will work right out of the box with armada jj 's or will i need to tweak em. The jj's are 115 at center and brakes will definitely be back of that, probably closer to 120. I dont mind bending, curious to see if anyone out there has tried this binding on the jj's or something else this size.
By: solomon
September 3, 2010
I just had the Pivot 14's put on my JJ's. The break fits around the waist but seems so close that they might not perform properly. I'm going to bend them just the slightest bit. Should be perfect.

Super Reliable

I have been skiing the FKS bindings for many years and in my opinion they are the most durable and effective bindings on the market! I purchased these for this season and once they were dialed in, i had no complaints whatsoever. I would definitely recommend these to somebody interested in a reliable binding, that doesn't pre-release, and is worth the money.
(You wont need to buy another binding after purchasing these)

Great Binding
By:
D. Joshua Christensen
May 23, 2010
If you are thinking about buying the FKS 180 binding, but are not sure that you need the burliness of an 18 DIN binding, this would be a great option for you. It does utilize winged construction in the toe, which makes it slightly weaker, but other than that, the bindings are almost identical. Really short mount zone, fits very low on the ski, it has very high elasticity, and a super wide AFD. Nothing compares to the turntable design...NOTHING!
Has anyone found that the DIN on the toepiece varies by up to
Has anyone found that the DIN on the toepiece varies by up to 3 DIN settings when the boot is in the binding verses not in?? (it does this by itself)This occurs when the toepiece pivots slightly between the boot being in v out.
It is occuring on both toepieces, so I assume that this is normal?

That is not how this binding functions, and nobody here or at Rossignol has heard of this problem on this binding, so the problem must be extremely rare. So, it is defective.

These bindings are sick! I have and still rock the original turntable rossy's that were the race style the last year they made them, '05ish, and I know myself and others were wondering where did they go?!?! I'm so happy they were brought back! I have the XXL on my 172 Sir Francis Bacons and the combo is amazing. These bindings are so on point and I feel safe using them, and know they will never bust apart on me. Definitely one of the most durable, reliable, and safe binding on the market. Zero ramp angle adds to your charging as well! Highly recommend
Since the brakes are removeable can you interchage the XXL brakes

The brakes are removable, but you gotta have some tools to do it. Check out the video on how to take them apart: http://www.vimeo.com/4218404, a nice 10 minute vid on how to do it right.
By: Todd Kehoe

brakes are not removable. or at least not with just the twist of a screw you actually have to take the binding off and the brakes apart to get them out. not a fun process

I just picked up some ID One mogul skis and need to mount them. I've been recommended to use the FKS or Tyrolia Peak 15. Any thoughts on which binding is better? I leaning toward the FKS. Would there be an mounting issue with the ID One being only 63 mm underfoot?

FKS. Why? Because it is the best binding on the market. Your question is pretty much, should I get a crap binding made out of shitty materials that won't last long at all, or the most durable binding on the market. You choose.

Once these are mounted is there any way to adjust the binding to a slightly different BSL?
By: patrick McKenna
February 12, 2010
The short answer is, mmm not really. I have two different boots that I wear, one at 295mm the other at 293mm. I step into the bindings without worry since that's pretty tiny. But if you've got another boot that's a whole shell size different, I don't think you'll be able to adjust these far enough. You trade off the ability to adjust these bindings for their rock solid hold.
