Flat Ski Binding Compatibility
This ski does not come with bindings. We recommend a pair of bindings with a brake from 5 up to 10 mm wider than this ski. Please feel free to contact our customer service if you have a question about binding compatibility.
Free Ski Set Mounting
If you buy skis and bindings together we can mount them for you free of charge. For further information check our FAQs.
Please note that adult bindings cannot be combined with kids skis (and vice versa).
