Rollerski Bindings
The Importance of Rollerski Bindings
Rollerski bindings are a crucial component for securing yourself to your rollerskis. At the toe, rollerski bindings allow the boots to clip on and pivot upwards, while the heel is unrestricted. Typically, the bindings are drilled into the rollerski frame and accommodate a variety of shoe sizes.
Comparing Classic and Skate Rollerski Bindings
While classic and skate rollerski bindings may seem similar, selecting the appropriate type for your skiing technique is vital. You can filter options to select either “Classic” or “Skate”. The designs of both types are largely alike, with the key distinction being that the rubber bumper at the toe is softer for classic rollerski bindings. This flexibility aids forward motions in classic rollerskiing, whereas the firmer bumpers are necessary to bear the strength of skating.
Rottefella Rollerski Bindings
The Norwegian company Rottefella has introduced the New Nordic Norm system, abbreviated as NNN, which leads the market in binding and boot compatibility. Numerous brands incorporate this system into their bindings and/or boots, and you can review the specifications to confirm NNN compatibility. For further details on compatibility, refer to our guide - Compatibility of Bindings for Cross Country and Rollerskis.
Rottefella's NIS rollerski bindings system is another favoured design from the brand. These bindings are affixed to NIS plates, permitting them to move forward or back, offering several binding positions. This is especially beneficial, as positioning the bindings forward enhances uphill climbing, while shifting them back increases stability while rolling.
The Rottefella NNN bindings system represents the predominant choice for rollerski bindings and boots available, offering the widest range. To locate boots compatible with your new bindings, view Rollerski Boots.
