Discover cross-country ski bindings
When it comes to cross-country ski equipment, bindings are essential to optimize your experience on the slopes or in the forest. Whether you're a beginner or an expert skier, the choice of binding can influence your performance and comfort. With a multitude of options available, it's crucial to understand the different systems and standards in order to select the binding that best suits your needs.
The different types of cross-country ski bindings
There are several types of bindings for different cross-country skiing disciplines: skating and classic. Skating bindings include systems such as Turnamic, NNN, Prolink and SNS Pilot. Each has its own features that can enhance your experience on the snow.
- Turnamic Binding: Developed by Rossignol and Fischer, it offers compatibility with NNN and Prolink standards, enabling screwless mounting.
- NNN binding: This system is widely used on Madshus skis. Its rail-mounted design makes it easy to adjust to different conditions.
- Prolink binding: Compatible with NNN and Turnamic, this system facilitates use between different brands.
- SNS Pilot binding: Although older, it remains popular with some skiers thanks to its unique design.
How to choose your bindings? An essential buying guide
Choosing the right binding depends mainly on the type of skiing you plan to do. For skating bindings, opt for models such as those equipped with the Turnamic or NNN system, which offer flexibility and performance. If you're more interested in bindings for classic cross-country skiing, you'll want bindings that offer a degree of flexibility while guaranteeing good energy transfer.
It's also important to match your boots to the right bindings. For example, if you choose Fischer bindings, make sure your boots are compatible with them by consulting our complete selection : Fischer cross-country ski boots.
Understanding the standards: SNS vs NNN vs other systems
The SNS standard is ideal for beginners thanks to its exceptional guidance, while the NNN standard offers more options depending on your personal preferences (manual or automatic). The Turnamic standard stands out for its ease of use and its extensive compatibility with various boot models.
To make the best possible choice when buying your bindings, consider not only your level but also the type of terrain where you will often be skiing.
