Hey guys,
I got a pair of arv 86 skis coming. I was wondering if these bindings are good for theses skis and if they will fit.

I think you can get a way better deal if you want to buy those from a shop in Canada. Those bindings will work tho.

Same exact thing is like $40 less from Corbets.

Is the price on the sportchek link in CAD? When I look at Corbett's it displays prices in USD, I think?

If that's the case the Attack 13 B85 are $10CAD more.

IDK

Axials are only $100.45 USD shipped from ASO/corbetts. Hot pink. If I just wanted some cheap binders I'd consider it.

OP check out the Attack 13 too. I like those and they work with daymakers , axials/spx don't. Something I take into consideration but doesn't matter to most.

I don't have any brakes. don't the bindings come with brakes. Also I'm looking to spend under 200 Canadian on bindings and the attack 13s come in at almost 250 after the conversion. Plus most of the sites from the states charge around 20usd for shipping to canada

Sometimes bindings come w/o brakes but most often they're included.

If my calcs are correct these: https://www.corbetts.com/2018-head-attack2-13-gw-b85-black-adult-ski-bindings/ should be about $193CAD and the shop is Canadian, and they ship free to the US on orders that aren't huge so I assume Canadian shipping would be free.

Corbetts.com in Canadian $ and Asogear.com is the eBay/overstock division of Corbetts and listings are in US $. So the Attack2 13 85 is a fantastic binding for $149.99 Canadian with free shipping from Corbetts.

Get the 95mm width brakes for ARV96 and the tech can bend it a bit to fit over it.

The Attack brakes are wide. The 85mm brake will easily fit on an 86mm ski or probably a 90mm waisted ski.

Where are the better deals on Attack 13 B85 at $149 USD? Also he's Canadian, it's easier to get free shipping from Canadian companies.

Lots good deals on Google-

Freeze Pro Shop does free shipping worldwide. AlpineShopVT got them for 148, might be xtra $25ish for shipping.. Still a steal even with shipping rate. Plenty of great deals out there.

The 85 brake fits a 90 or 95 waist ski no problem. You can bend brakes if you need to go wider too.

Also look into rebranded attack 13s- head, 4frnt, kastle and maybe elan. Theyre exactly the same but just rebranded, usually cheaper than Tryolia brand. Check out ebay link below-

How is $155 less than $149? And what's the shipping rate to Canada?

For sure, I have the 95mm brakes on ARV 96 and they're not tight.

I'm currently at work as I dont have full attention on this post- am just throwing in few examples of whats out there- he just have to look around. 150 is the standard lowest amount he's able to find for brand new from online retailers, just need to look around for better deals. Labor day (US holiday) is next week on 3rd, may find deeper discounts on that day.

I get it, I'm not trying to be a dick.

Corbetts/ASOgear had head attack 13s for like $120 last year. It seems like the popularity of that binding has grown and there aren't a lot of heavily discounted units laying around.

I think the complication is mostly the international shipping. The green set you linked above cost $25 to ship up north totalling ~$220CAD ~$170USD.

Yah, totally forgot about the asogear, they sell their stuff on ebay as well. You just gotta look around to find a good deal to lessen the sting of S&H cost.

See my post above-Corbetts.com is $149.99 CAN right now($116 US) so just buy from them and they ship free in North America. Always look at Corbetts.com and Asogear.com to compare prices as sometimes(like now) they list things for the same dollar amount, yet Corbetts.com is always in Canadian dollars. When you order them, order from Corbetts website.
