Which brake width for my Salomon skis?

Hey guys!

I've just picked up a pair of 2019 Salomon QST 92 skis (169) and deciding which bindings to mount to them. I'm looking into either Salomon Warden 11, Warden MNC 11 or STH2 WTR 13.

The question I have is that all the mentioned bindings are available in two brake widths: 90 or 100. Which binding width would be best suited to my 92 underfoot Salomon skis?

Thanks for any help!

Dave.

90 will almost certainly fit best. 100 will work too though

90 for sure, the 100 will work but you will notice some overhang.

yeah man, you're almost there

about the bindings i should have said: i'd suggest the STH2 13s out of that list. theyre only about $60 more, and "11" bindings (that is, bindings that go up to a DIN of 11) are commonly made with lesser quality parts/features etc. so since it's not a crazy price difference i'd say you should get the STH2 13s, those are bindings with a great reputation that you can trust while the 11 models you mentioned are more likely geared to younger/smaller people

Thank you man, I was honestly leaning towards one of the Warden models until your reply, but I think I'll go with the STH2 now. Just one quick question if that's okay, how do the Warden MNC 13 bindings compare to the STH2 WTR 13 bindings? They're close to the same price. Thanks again!

The warden 13 and sth2s have the same heel. The wardens toe can take just about any boot, whereas the sth2s are for alpine and wtr soles. So if you're not planning on getting touring boots I would reccomend the sth2s.

Thank you very much! The Warden's are priced at $15 more than the STH2's. But the most I would be doing is adding WTR soles to my existing XPro boots, so I think the STH2's may be the winner!
