The 95-110mm binding often corresponds to the width of the brake and fits medium to wide skis. This guide helps you choose, install, and maintain your bindings. It also encourages you to shop online with confidence.
Alpine bindings: designed for performance on-piste. They emphasize energy transfer and safety in case of a fall.
Freeride bindings: ideal for off-piste and wide skis. They offer more travel for freedom of movement and wider brakes.
Telemark: these are specific bindings with heel mobility that change the skiing technique. They require different boots and adjustments.
On our site, consider the binding and ski pack association for optimized mounting and a single purchase.
Beginner: prefer bindings with a low DIN range and easier release. Safety is paramount.
Intermediate: opt for a wider DIN adjustment and a binding that balances performance and comfort.
Advanced / expert: choose robust bindings with a high DIN range and direct transmission for aggressive speeds and pressure.
Freeride/off-piste style: favor wider brakes and greater release tolerance. If your skis are wider, also look at the bindings 100-115mm for skis.
For the piste and high speeds, think about stability: the alpine bindings 100-125mm often provide better contact and a brake suitable for wide skis.
1) Check the sole length of your boot. 2) Mark the mounting position recommended by the ski manufacturer. 3) Drill or use existing inserts. 4) Mount the toe and heel. 5) Adjust the binding to the sole length and appropriate DIN. 6) Perform a release test in-store if possible.
Note: for safety, have the drilling and final adjustment done by a professional if you are unsure.
Choose a binding based on use: alpine for the piste, freeride for off-piste, telemark for telemark technique. Ensure that the brake width matches the ski width.
Follow the mounting procedure outlined below or consult a professional for drilling, mounting, and DIN adjustment.
Alpine bindings lock the heel for direct energy transfer and controlled release. Telemark bindings leave the heel free, altering the turning technique and requiring specific boots.
Cleaning, checking screws, light lubrication, and annual inspection in a workshop. Do not let corrosion set in.
