None at all. Only thing I could think of is break width. Which size did you get?

Haven’t ordered the bindings yet is there a specific recommendation you would say for them ?

I’m thinking 95 mm would you say otherwise

No, no it doesn't. The 95mm brakes should fit perfect straight out of the box and if they don't they would only need a little bit of massaging to make them fit.

Attack 95mm brakes are perfect and 110mm would be huge.

Nah 95s would be perfect. Pivot brakes can typically go on skis +10mm their size

Lol it most definitely does not.

OP, I have pivots on skis ranging from 90 to 122. All of my skis 110 or narrower i have 95mm brakes, otherwise they hang over too much and get caught on landings and when skiing. Don’t go 115, that’s way too big for the Reckoner.

Im so dumbfounded. I thought the general rule of thumb was to go over the waist width

Maybe true for other bindings that squeeze together when you click in. Pivots just twist straight up and not in + the brake widths have way more room for play than others. I have 95 brakes on 102mm skis and 115 brake on 120 skis. Both fit perfect, wouldn't change them

reckoners are a great jack of all trades. great buttery ski. 95 break is optimal. have used 95 breaks on 108 and it works perfect. even talked to someone who had 95 breaks on a 110 ski and they also worked with little to no issues, they just hit the sidewalls a bit and scraped a bit of the plastic break part.

sounds like a solid setup you can't go wrong with, have a great season

95mm is the way to go. I've skied ~10 days so far on my Pivots & Reckoner 102's.

First impression are the reviews like they say , is there really a speed limit or vibration once you get some speed on them ?

I've only skied park on them so not the most credible opinion, but I haven't found the speed limit yet. Surprisingly stable ski compared to the specs, and not so soft I expected it to be. Super stiff underfoot, quite similar tail feel than the Edollo's, and a tad stiffer noses than the Edollo's. A lighter, slightest bit stiffer Edollo is pretty accurate description. I'm not the largest human so take my opinion with a pinch of salt. 175cm/72kg, fairly advanced skillset.

I’m 5’11 and 190 pounds and on my 184 I only skied park on it because it folded if I tried to ski the rest of the mountain with it. I’m pretty heavy and that paired with aggressive skiing probably isn’t the best combo but I personally thought it was too soft for all mountain use but that’s just me, I know plenty of people who love them as an all mountain ski

I'm small and light and used them as my daily for most of last season. It's not a grip and rip ski, found it to get chattery around 45-50mph on firm snow. Not necessarily unstable though, just "noisy". It's more of a park ski than all mountain, had me slowing down and looking for the sidehits, it's more fun that way. Still rails decent turns if you do your part.

I have 95 bw pivots in revolt 104s without stretching or any plastic getting shaved, the biggest I’ve seen 95s on were 108s but wouldn’t recommend that high. I would say 105-6 would be the max as some of the plastic will get shaved off by the edge and then fit flush
