Features and specifications of Look Pivot 2.0 15 GW B95 Ski binding
LOOK's classic PIVOT turntable heel design offers 28mm of elastic travel and rotates directly under the tibia, delivering elite-level shock absorption and the industry's most trustworthy retention for a significant reduction in unwanted pre-release.
LOOK binding components are designed to deliver industry-leading roll coupling strength (boot-to-binding interface). This ensures minimal roll before the boot engages the binding for the most efficient power transmission in skiing.
Longer elastic travel ensures more reliable retention to keep you in when you need. LOOK bindings offer the most elastic travel (lateral and vertical) and the fastest re-centering prior to release, ensuring superior shock absorption to reduce unwanted pre-release.
Featuring 45mm of elastic travel and 180⁰ multi-directional release, the all-metal RACE toe piece offers maximum power, precision, and durability across all disciplines, from the Alpine World Cup to Freestyle, Freeride and Moguls.
GRIPWALK compatible bindings ensure perfect compatibility with two boot sole standards: - Traditional Alpine soles (ISO 5355) - GRIPWALK soles (future ISO 23223 standard)
LOOK is the only binding brand to develop a true mechanical upward release that functions independently from the heel for the most effective 180⁰ MULTI DIRECTIONAL RELEASE in the instance of a fall.
The shortened mounting zone provides less swing weight, improved response, and a deeper, rounder, more consistent ski flex.
Buying The Correct Ski Binding Brake Width
It should be simple, ski bindings come with different brake width options, measured in MM, and you simply select the brake width to match your skis and everything works. Or does it?!
Where the ski brake sits on the ski, is not in the centre of the skis. However, the measurement manufacturers give you and sometimes even put in the ski name – The ski waist width, or width underfoot, is at the mounting centre line of the skis, and with some brands varies slightly depending on the length of the skis. So when we determine the correct ski brake binding width we need to consider this and add a few mm to be safe, without going too wide so that they stick out. But it is ALWAYS better to be too wide than too narrow, otherwise your brakes will not drop down when you clip out – or fall out – of your bindings and shoot down the mountain, which is dangerous for others and could loose you a ski!
Also, different ski binding brands measure their brakes differently. Some measure the inside to inside distance when the boot is in the binding (and try measuring that easily!!) some centre to centre, and some outside to outside. Pretty frustrating isn’t it!
If you visit forums, all you will hear is “don’t worry bend your brakes out” but this is NOT a good idea and should be a last resort not a standard practice. When you bend your brakes out or in you effectively weaken them a little. Further, when you bend them out, they move in an arc up to the skis and can end up clearing the ski sides but out of position making them easier to catch leading to them failing to work correctly. We have seen brakes bent on the arms, but the mechanism that keeps them in place is damaged through twisting making the brakes dangerous. So ALWAYS try to use the correct width brake, even if it means spending a few pounds on a different set of brakes – the safety risk just isn’t really worth it.
How to measure which brakes to use
STEP 1: Identify the width of your skis “underfoot” which is the middle measurement of the geometry information normally printed on at least one ski, or shown on the product pages website. So for example 122-88-110 is telling you the tip, waist, and tail widths in MM. so this ski would be 88mm under the foot at the mounting centreline of the ski.
STEP 2: Add 2-5mm to give you the minimum brake width you should opt for. So in this example, we would go for a 90mm to 95mm brake. Marker brakes are 90mm, Look brakes offer 95mm, and other manufacturers will do there own thing but have a brake a few mm wider than what you know you need. Do NOT go for anything narrower however good a deal it is, and even going the same width can be tricker as the brake may stick on the sides of the skis and not fully drop down to act as a brake.
What happens if I go too WIDE with my brake width
We actually prefer to be too wide rather than too narrow when it comes to ski binding brakes, as the brake will not get jammed on the side walls of the skis. However, if you go far too wide, the skis when clicked together by the brakes will scissor around a lot which can make handling tricky, and also may stick out beyond the ski width enough for them to drag on the snow when carving hard on the mountain. So for us, in our example, if you have an 88mm ski waist and put a 100mm brake on the skis, that will be OK, but if you went for a 110mm or wider, you would be going too wide in our opinion.
Still Need Help?
Don’t worry if you still don’t know which brake to go for. Just get in touch with us with your ski details and we can advise you. Also, when we sell skis with bindings here, we will always check what the customer has ordered, and if the brake width selected is suitable we will change this before any mounting takes place to ensure your skis brakes function correctly and remain safe on the mountain.
