Cross Country Ski Binding Parts to Perfect Your Setup

The bindings are one of the most crucial components of the cross country ski setup. In this category, you’ll find a variety of cross country binding accessories such as flexors and mounting plates.

Many bindings require mounting plates that allow the bindings to slide into position. The mounting plates will need to be drilled onto the skis first, after which you will be able to attach the bindings to the skis. Before purchasing the mounting plates, ensure that you check the product specifications to confirm that they are compatible with your bindings and skis. For example, an NIS mounting plate can typically only be installed for NNN bindings.

Another accessory you will encounter is binding flexors. Generally, there are two types of flexors: one that is suitable for skate style and one that is best for classic. However, Rottefella has designed the Xcelerator Flexor, which allows you to switch between the two styles on the same flexor. Otherwise, consider the stiffness of the flexor to ensure it matches your riding preference.
