The right ski binding for your skis at xspo
The ski binding connects the ski to the ski boot. It has a major influence on the safety and handling characteristics of the ski. The construction of the binding always depends on the respective area of use.
More skiing fun with the optimum binding
Ski bindings are ultra-modern high-tech instruments without which a ski cannot be used. Their main task is to connect skis and ski boots. However, bindings also have a major influence on the skiing style and safety of the skis. When buying, you should make sure that the binding is suitable for your preferred terrain and ski type.
Skiing is not a safe sport, so you should attach great importance to excellent equipment. Ski bindings are not an insignificant factor here, as the risk of injury can be minimised by releasing them in good time in the event of a fall. You should therefore have your ski bindings adjusted by a professional.
There are two methods for precise adjustment: the tibia method involves measuring the width of the tibial plateau, while the weight method requires weight, age, height and boot sole length for adjustment. This method is the most commonly used. You should check the setting of the binding every year, as the release value can change due to wear and tear. You should also readjust the binding if you change your skiing style.
While race bindings are very elastic and equipped with strong springs to withstand high loads, bindings for touring skis are a flexible combination of Nordic and safety bindings. The heel remains free for the ascent and can be fixed again for the descent. In addition to these types of bindings, you will find the optimum binding system for every type of ski at favourable prices in our online shop.
