Great Binding

By D. Joshua Christensen May 25, 2010

If you need a 15 DIN binding but don't want to spend full retail on a Pivot/FKS binding, this is a great alternative. It uses the same toe piece as the Pivot/FKS 18 binding (but with a 15 DIN spring inside). This gives you a very wide AFD, and a low profile toe mount. What you do sacrifice is significant, but not too detrimental. The heel piece is much longer and sits much hicher off the ski than the Pivot series. This means that you feel a little more binding and a little less ski under your foot. This also means that you lose the pivot feature of the heel, so the release is not quite as natural. You do gain the ability to adjust the binding about 2 full sizes on the fly, which can be a good bonus.

After 3 years of use mine started getting really wobbly on their mounting track, although that wobble is really only noticeable while I am not clipped into the ski..not sure what the deal is.

A note about the 100mm brake, your shop can stretch it to fit skis up to around 125mm wide..so don't worry too much about that. Also, if your ski is only 85mm underfoot, 100mm still works fine!
