Salomon Shift Brakes
Everybody loves “new ski day”. But sometimes “new ski day” also means “new brake day” in order to get your bindings to fit appropriately on your new skis. Find new Salomon brake assemblies for your shiny new skis below. All brakes are sold in pairs.
Shift 90mm - Narrowest Shift brakes available, these measure a bit over list.
Shift 100mm - Fun fact: 100mm is also 10cm which is 1/10th of a meter.
Shift 110mm - Pretty average ski size for many Shift users.
Shift 120mm - Widest brake size reserved for big powder boards.

I would like to install a set of Shifts on BD Carbon Helios 104s. Sounds like it would be preferable to go with the 100mm width brakes?

Hi Eric,
Generally, brakes can be stretched to accommodate up to an additional 6mm of width if necessary. The 100mm brakes should work just fine with some Helio 104s!

Just got the new Salomon QST Blank skis (112 at waist). Will the shift MNC 10 bindings w/110 brakes work? Or will I need to bend them out 1 mm on each side to accommodate??!!

Hey Brian,
The 110 brake width will be perfect for that ski, no bending required!

Hello,
I bought a pair of atomic backland 107 underfoot and am wondering if the 120 brake will be too wide? I would like to have the option to go wider in the future and am weighing my options.

Hey Mitch, thanks for reaching out! I'd recommend sticking with the 110mm as it already is a bit wider than the labeled width, and you can bend it out further if needed. What is the widest you might go up to?

What’s the best size brake to go with a W Head Kore 99 (95mm under foot)?
I was hoping Salomon shift 110s would fit my friends skis. Sounds like the brakes are too wide to match. Should I swap them out with the 90mm or 100mm brakes?

Is it possible to use the Salomon Shift Binding 110 brake on skis with a 99 waist. I want to be able to upgrade to a wider ski later but do not want to have to change out the brake
3/27/2021
Hello Michael, you should have no problem skiing a 110mm brake with your 99mm waisted ski, especially since you think you might get a wider ski in the future.

Brian Goodheim 
Here's a follow-up to my previous question:
I would really like to bend the ski brake arms in a bench vise rather than stressing the plastic ski brake assembly. Does the Shift heel assembly need to be removed from the ski in order to separate the ski brake from the rear release? Thanks.

Hi Brian,
The safest way to bend brakes on a binding is to do so with your boot in the binding. This will protect areas like the plastic assembly from harm.
If you would like to isolate the brake mechanism from the rest of the binding in order to bend them with a vice, you will need to screw the binding all the way forward on its BSL adjustment track, slide it off of the heel plate, at which point you will be able to separate the brake mechanism from the heel piece. The Brake arms themselves cannot be removed from their housing. Hopefully, this answers both of your questions!

I just purchased Salomon Shift MNC 13 bindings with a 90mm brake (has 98mm clearance) and mounted on skis that are also 98mm. I would like to bend another 3-5mm or so for more clearance.
How do I remove the ski brake heel unit to remove the brake arms so I can use a vise for bending? Any video or link would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have Nordic’s enforcers that are 110 underfoot. What size shift brake will work best?
11/9/2020
Hi Shaefer,
The Salomon Shift 110 brakes will work well with Nordica Enforcer 110s. If necessary, these brakes could also be stretched a few millimeters wider if necessary!

Hello, I am looking to put shifts on some moment deathwish skis, they are 112 underfoot, i measured them a little further back to get a little more accurate measurement of where the brake would actually sit and the measure ~113-114 (110mm hits the top sheet,) and 120mm fits with about 1.35mm of clearance on each side. I ordered the 120mm wide ones, should I have gone with 110?
11/5/2020
Hey there,
I think you were right to go with the 120mm! If you run into issues, definitely let us know.

Hi Will,
Thanks for reaching out! The Shift 90mm brakes can be stretched an additional 5mm to accommodate a 95mm ski, which would be a better fit than the 100mm brakes.

Hey, I bought a pair of shift bindings with a 110mm brake width and am looking at putting them on a pair of Line Sakana's (105mm waist). Should I switch out the brake to a 100 or 90mm brake width? I've heard that the shift's run super wide. Someone said they wish they put a 90mm brake on the sakana because if the brakes hit each other they can disengage.
8/10/2020
Hey Will, thanks for reaching out! You'd have to bend the 90mm brakes quite a bit, so I'd say the 100mm brake will be the best fit for you!

Hi! I want todo use the binding on a armada bubba 188 which are 132mm width , will the 120mm fit bending them a bit?
5/15/2020
Hey Lucas,
You can probably bend them far enough to make them work, but the fit won't be ideal, you'll likely have some scraping and/or bowing out of the brake. Unfortunately they don't currently sell a wider one so that'll be your best option.

How far can you bend the 120mm brake width? I'd like to get these on a 138 width powder ski. Is that too far?

Hey Terry, that is probably a bridge too far, I'm sorry to say. You may have to call in a favor with Stefan Drake and see what sort of dark magic he can perform to find you a 140mm Shift brake :-)
