Why are there wide brake bindings?
The general purpose of a brake is to stop the ski from skiing away when you are released from your bindings. Due to the nature of a Twin-Tip/Freestyle ski, these skis can be wider then most downhill skis. These skis are also referred to as “Fat Skis”. This type of ski needs a specific wide binding to accommodate the wider ski. Standard binding brakes are not wide enough for this style of ski. When determining what wide brake binding to purchase you will need to know the waist width of your ski, this way you can avoid purchasing a wide brake binding that will not be too narrow. On all of our wide brake binding product pages you will be able to find the brake size. These are stated in millimeter measurements.
