Prolink Race Skate Binding - 2025

The Prolink binding system, developed by Salomon, features a unique two-rail design that allows for a lower connection between your boot and the binding. This design enhances your feel for the snow, improving your overall performance and control while skiing. It’s particularly beneficial for those looking to maximize their responsiveness and connection to the terrain.

Prolink bindings and NNN (New Nordic Norm) bindings serve similar purposes but have different designs. Prolink offers a lower connection point, which enhances performance and feel, while NNN bindings are known for their stability and ease of use. If you already have NNN-compatible boots, you’ll need to ensure compatibility with Prolink bindings, as they are not interchangeable.

The Low Guideridge in the Prolink Race Skate Binding is designed to stabilize your boot and improve control over your skis. By being set lower than most bindings, it enhances your connection to the snow, allowing for better technique and performance. This feature is particularly important for skiers looking to refine their skills and achieve greater precision in their movements.

The flex rating indicates the stiffness of the binding, with a higher flex rating (like the 115 flex of the Prolink Race Skate Binding) providing better power transfer and responsiveness. A stiffer binding is ideal for more advanced skiers who require precision and control, while beginners may prefer a softer flex for easier maneuverability. Choosing the right flex is crucial for matching your skill level and skiing style.

The carbon race lever is a lightweight yet strong component that allows you to step into the binding easily. Its carbon construction enhances the overall performance of the binding by reducing weight without sacrificing strength. This is particularly beneficial for competitive skiers who need to maintain agility and speed while ensuring reliable binding engagement.

To use Prolink bindings, your ski boots must be compatible with the Prolink system. If you currently have boots designed for NNN bindings, they may not work with Prolink. It’s essential to check the compatibility of your boots with the Prolink system to ensure optimal performance and safety while skiing. If you're unsure, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a ski equipment specialist.
