Classic Cross Country Ski Bindings

Purchasing Classic Cross Country Ski Bindings

When aiming to replace or add classic cross country bindings to your skis, it is crucial to determine the binding system you prefer. These systems are categorised into three options - NNN (New Nordic Norm), SNS (Salomon Nordic System), and 75 mm (3-pin). If you own cross country ski boots, the outer sole or the product details will indicate which Nordic ski binding system they are compatible with.

Is There a Difference Between NNN and SNS Bindings?

NNN bindings, crafted by the brand Rottefella, differ from SNS bindings which are made by Salomon. You can easily distinguish them by the number of ridges along the bindings. NNN bindings feature two thinner ridges, while SNS bindings have one thick ridge. To ensure compatibility, the soles of the ski boots must align with the ridge pattern of the bindings.

NNN bindings have emerged as the prevalent type for cross country skiing. Renowned brands such as Fischer, Rottefella, Salomon, Atomic, and Rossignol are all producing equipment based on this concept. These companies have also created their own distinctive versions that are compatible with the NNN system. Common product names you might encounter include Turnamic, Prolink, and NIS.
