Hi,
are there experiences with crampon width for a Kastle TX103? Any chances I can get away with a 100m, which would of course walk better?
Cheers!
Fritschi Vipec / Tecton Ski Crampons
The Fritschi ski crampons offer quick and easy attachment for added bite on icy, technical skin tracks. The use of a rotating adapter will allow you to adjust how deep the crampon bites from each of the three riser settings. Machined teeth ensure great bite in icy-but-punchy snow, and an aluminum construction keeps things light and fast whether on your skis or in your pack. The Fritschi Vipec ski crampons are sold in pairs and are only compatible with Vipec and Tecton bindings. 292g / pair [100mm]
| Size | Weight | Measured Width |
| 90mm | 129g | 92mm |
| 100mm | 146g | 103mm |
| 115mm | 148g | 116mm |
Update 2021/22: Fritschi did away with the riser that let you control how deep the crampons would bite. Instead, they made the teeth a little longer to bite deeper when using any of the risers. Overall this saved about an ounce of weight per crampon, which is partially recovered by the inclusion of a carry bag.

Hi Daniel! Unfortunately, we do not have the ski instore to test so I can't be certain. Considering where the toe piece sits on the ski, I would think the "100mm" crampon would be ever so slightly too narrow. Could be worth a try. It's important to note that crampons are not receptive to bending. It has been done and one would need to pay close attention to the axles when doing so. Regardless is not recommended and in any case, it's best to go with the next size up. Thanks!
Answer this question:
I got a 100mm pair of these for my Voile Hyper V6 skis 129-98-110s, mounted with the Fritschi Vipec Evo 12 bindings. Happy to report the sizing has been a perfect match (seems to be the main question people have about them, makes sense).
As a long lover of the dynafit style of ski crampon, I was a bit skeptical of having moving parts and springs involved in my ski crampons, but the choice is pretty much made for you when you mounted your bindings, so I am especially happy to report that they have worked very smoothly and have given me no trouble. Indeed, the spring action is slick and makes taking them on and off easy, and can be done without needing to take your skis off.
I bought them to ski Mt Hood, which went well (left the skis at Hogsback, did not try to ski the pearly gates), and have taken them out several times for some local Wasatch terrain when conditions were crummier.

Hi, I have the Black Crows Navis Freebird with a 102 waist? Would you recommend the 100 or 115 crampons? Thanks!
3/8/2023
Hey Paul, the 100mm would be my first choice so long as there is no rubbing on the sidewall. If the 100mm doesn't work, then the 115mm would be the only choice.

My general inclination is that newer = better so I would normally go for the updated crampon. However, the riser feature in the older version sounds good. Given I could buy either, which is better?
2/10/2023
Hi Matthew, if you see yourself wanting to dial in your crampon performance by adjusting the riser, get the older one. If you're more of a set it and forget it person, the latest model's for you.

Hi Peter,
Looks like we measured the internal width of the 115mm ski crampon at 116mm. It will be very tight, but it could work depending on how slanted your sidewalls are, and where the crampon ends up on the ski. For confirmation, reach out to help@skimo.co!

Do these work with the older model Vipec bindings (not Evo)?
3/31/2022
I believe they should work for you just fine, but we do not have that binding available to test for certain!
My understanding is that the Vipec's ski crampon compatibility has not changed as the binding has been updated over the years.

I have skis that are 104mm underfoot, should I get the 115 crampons? Will that be too large?

Hi Charlie,
Based on your ski waist width, the 115mm width ski crampons would be your best bet. If you have further questions, feel free to reach out to help@skimo.co!

I have a pair of 178cm Voile Hyper V6 skis 131/99/111 with the Fritschi Tecton 12 bindings. I've read to be careful not to undersize the ski crampon, but also not to get one that is too big. With a 99mm waist, will the 100mm crampon fit, or would it be safer to go with the 115mm? Since 99mm is the narrowest, couldn't the measurement be wider where my toepiece is mounted?

Hey Andrew, the 100mm crampon will work swimmingly.

My skis are 102mm waist. Would the 100mm crampon size work or would I need to go up to 115? Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out, Adam. These will work just fine on the 102mm waisted ski. Happy skiing!

I have Blackcrows Camox Freebirds, 97mm underfoot. From other responses, it seems that you all down-rated the sizes from the BD site to the maximum waist that will work with each size, but not for the 100mm size. Will the 100mm fit on a 97mm ski?
3/4/2021
Thanks for the question, Matthew. These will definitely fit over those Camox Freebirds with room to spare.

Do they make a size that would work for a 120mm waisted ski like the Atomic Bentchetler?
1/1/2020
Parker, I did some looking around and here is what I have dug up. Some companies call the "large" size a 115mm, some 120mm. I also read reviews that said it doesn't fit over a 120mm ski, which explains why we call it a 115mm. Ski crampons do not bend easily or much at all, either, so don't hope to be able to bend these to fit.

Hey Jeff, thanks for looking into that. Is there another option I could use for a wider ski? Do you think the G3 crampon would be able to fit between the toe and heel of the Vipec or Tecton, for example?

Hey Celia, the 90mm is more like 93mm, so you'll likely need to bump up to the 115mm!

Where should I measure, to make sure I'm ordering the right size ski crampon? Ski width immediately below the toe pins, or pin-to-pin distance, or ???
2/17/2018
Hi Gary, I'd suggest ordering your crampon based upon the stated waist width of your ski. For example, when selecting a crampon for my Atomic Backland 95, I know that I need a crampon wider than 95mm. Which means I would go with the 115mm in this crampon.
2/17/2018
Hi Gary, the crampon fits just behind your toe piece so that is the critical width.

I have a dynafit Manaslu 181 cm ski with 91 mm waist and Tecton bindings. Do you think the 90 mm crampons would fit or should I go with the 115 mm crampons?
Thanks, Fabrizio
Thanks, Fabrizio
2/10/2018
Fabrizio, I've checked a few 91mm waist skis with the 90mm crampon and it seems to fit the skis we have. With that I would recommend the 90mm crampon. When measured the inside of the crampon measures between 93-94mm.
