Skimo Race Binding with Brake

Plum Race World Cup Skimo Race Binding

The Plum Race World Cup Skimo Race Binding is a brake-equipped race binding for skimo racers who need an ISMF-legal setup without a heel-mounted brake. The race toe brake is held up by the boot toe, so it stays out of the heel's release, and vertical and lateral release are fixed at 7 through a titanium U-spring heel. At 145 g per binding with the brake, with a 38 mm climbing position and a flat mode, the Race World Cup suits ISMF racing, race training and fast laps.

Why We Like It

  • The race brake mounts at the toe and is held up by the boot toe, so it does not affect the heel's lateral release.
  • At 145 g per binding including the brake, the Race World Cup meets ISMF rules without much weight.
  • A titanium U-spring heel fixes release at 7, vertical and lateral, and the heel turns flat or climbs at 38 mm.
  • The brake removes easily when you do not need it for training.

Best Uses

  • ISMF skimo racing
  • Race training
  • Fast laps
  • Narrow race skis
  • Racers who need a brake

Mounting and Setup Advice

Release is fixed at 7, vertical and lateral, so confirm with a shop that 7 suits your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type. The 70 mm race toe brake suits narrow race skis.

The Race World Cup needs a boot with certified tech inserts. Bring your boots in so we can check the inserts and mount the heel to your boot sole.
