Salomon Shift Brakes
Everybody loves “new ski day”. But sometimes “new ski day” also means “new brake day.” Below, you will find brakes for your Shift 1 or Shift 2 bindings. All Shift models 23/24 and older will utilize the Shift 1 brakes. For bindings 24/25 and newer, the Shift 2 brakes will suffice. Please note all brakes are sold as a pair. When selecting a brake, we recommend selecting a brake width that is either -5mm to +10mm of your skis' waist measurement. For assistance selecting the best brake width for your ski, please get in touch with us!

I just bought a pair of skis that are 108 under foot. Would I be better with a 100 or a 110 brake? I don't typically like to go bigger than the width of the ski for fear that they will interfere with skinning or skiing...
11/22/2024
Hey Jeff! Good question. At 108mm, you are nearing the limit of what a 100mm can do. I would suggest going with the 110mm brakes. The 1mm on either side should be no reason for trouble. Thanks!

Can the improved Shift 2 brakes be installed on a Shift 1 binding as an upgrade?

Hi Brian,
No, the brakes are not interchangeable between models - sorry about that!

I already have a pair of shifts with 100mm brakes, I want to remount them onto faction dancer 3's which is a 106mm ski underfoot, are you able to bend the brakes enough to accommodate this, or do I need the 110mm brake.

Erik, I set a 100mm brake over a 106mm ski. It appears to work without bending. In use, it may need a tweak.

I'm looking at the women's Volkl Blaze 82 and want to add Shift bindings. Would the 90mm work -- I've heard that Shift run wide on the brake side, but know that 90mm is the narrowest width.

Hi Dan,
A 90mm Shift brake will fit an 82mm ski just fine! It will be a little bigger than necessary but no issue.

Hey there... another similar size question here. I got 112mm under foot skis and wondered if I'm best served to get the 120's or the 110's and bend them out if needed.
Thanks so much,

Hi I just got a pair of 90mm shift bindings for 88 width skis. I am curious if these same bindings would also work with 94 or 95 underfoot skis too as I think I may eventually want to switch to a wider pair.

Emma,
They might. If anything, you might need to bend them a little bit.

Thank you Emmett! Follow up question - if I did need to size up for a wider ski rather than just stretch the breaks a bit, would it work to switch just the breaks but to use the rest of the same salomon shift bindings rather than having to buy a whole new set?

Hi Emma, yes it's straightforward to swap brake sizes on the Shifts. See our listing for Shift Brakes for availability.

Hi Colin, the 100mm would be a much better fit for that ski, the 110mm will stick out and might get tangled as you skin and ski.

Will the 100 mm option work for a pair of Salomon QST 106?
8/13/2023
Stig,
That would be a little bit of a stretch. Pun absolutely intended. I'd go with the 110mm to be safe.

I used the 100mm on QST 106s, and they work just fine. The slightest bend, and they clear easily. I also used the 110mm in a set of QST X (116). Same story. No issues.

Just ordered 22/23 Black Crows Nocta
They are 122mm underfoot.
where the brakes would be is about 128mm would the 120 brakes fit if I bend them or just try something else?
Want to tour.

Davey, Where the brakes would be should still be close to the narrowest part of the waist. As the widest size, they will fit more than 120mm width without bending. And you can easily bend the brake arms if you need a bit more.

Hi, I just bought a pair of shifts for my skis but didn't realize they were the wrong size until it was too late! I wound up getting 90mm brakes for my Sego Condor 108's. Is it possible to bend the brakes out or should I just buy new brakes?

Hi Matteo,
Thanks for reaching out. That's probably a bit much to be bending those brakes. I'd recommend getting a pair of the 110mm size and running with those.

Hi Mike,
You could either direction. With the 120mm brake, you wouldn't have excessive extra width, ~2mm on each side. The 110mms could be bent for a 116mm ski as well. If I were in your shoes, I'd likely lean toward the 110mm brake width. Thanks!

Hi, I'm downsizing ski from 105mm to 95mm Black Diamond Helio. I wondered do I still can use my 110mm shift binding on 95mm? Or for ideal condition I have to swap the brake to 90mm (or 100mm?)
Thanks!
Thanks!

HI Xing, Brake width is very flexible. You could keep the 110, but they will stick out over the width of the ski in the up position a tiny bit. The 90mm width could be made to work on a 95mm ski.

12/13/2022
Hi Daniel, there is no 115mm width in these brakes. In general, you want to err on the skinnier side to avoid chances of drag / snagging.
