Classic Cross Country Ski Bindings

Purchasing Classic Cross Country Ski Bindings

When planning to replace or add classic cross country bindings to your skis, it's crucial to decide on the binding system you desire. There are three main types: NNN (New Nordic Norm), SNS (Salomon Nordic System), and 75 mm (3-pin). If you already have cross country ski boots, you can determine which Nordic ski binding system they are compatible with by looking at the outer sole or product details.

Do NNN and SNS Bindings Differ?

NNN bindings, developed by Rottefella, differ from the SNS bindings created by Salomon. A visual distinction can be made by the number of ridges along the bindings. NNN bindings feature two narrower ridges, whereas SNS bindings have a single thicker ridge. The sole of the ski boots must align with the ridge configuration to ensure compatibility with the bindings.

NNN bindings have gained prominence as the preferred cross country ski binding type. Companies such as Fischer, Rottefella, Salomon, Atomic, and Rossignol manufacture equipment based on this design. Each of these brands has also introduced customised versions operating with the NNN system. Familiar product names like Turnamic, Prolink, and NIS are frequently observed in the marketplace.
