Rossignol Bindings with 120mm wide brake

[AndrewNZ]

Rossignol Axial2 Freeride 200 Wide XXL Ski Binding.

These Come with a 120mm Brake, Now Im putting them on k2 silencers, which has a waist of about 90mm. Is 120mm excessive and will they still be effective?

No hate.

probably, 30 mm is a lot, the risk you run is on switch landings if you land on edge it can grab the brake arm and bend it back or if you're carving normally it'll hit the brake instead of the edge and you'll slide out
if you're willing to spend like 30 bucks you can buy a 90mm brake for those bindings

you know how ppl are always trying to get fatter brakes on here bet there are people willing to trade....maybe but yah narrow brakes arnt that expensive

Oh thanks for the hit. So it'd be risky? I think I should stick with a smaller brake. Thanks guys.

Have to see what your highest price is first..could be abit of interest.

Skishop made be willing to switch them with regulars, try it, and else, im sure there are a ton of people here willing to switch 90mm brakes for 120s

just curious as to why you would be skiing silencers, k2's cheapest ski when you feel you need the burliest 10-18 din binding on the market

You want that gap between your brake and ski to be as small as possible. I bought Rossi SAS2 bindings w/100mm brakes to put on my '09 Line Anthems, which have a 93mm waist, and there's only a 2mm clearance on each side.
