Nordica Beast 92 TT mounting point questions

[wildstyle]

Hi,

I've read through the mails about the nordica beast mounting points and i just want to confirm with everyone what i should do.

The centre point ( | ) is marked on the sidewall between the 188 and the serial number i.e.

188 | ae12355448

The best freeride all mountain boot centre point will be 2-2.5 cms behind this point. (nordica beast 10 boots ) I have come to this from reading a few posts from this forum.

With regards to bindings, i have read in various forums that having a higher/raised mounting is better when using wide skis. Is this true ? Is there a better binding to use with wide / beast ski's?

I have a set of S914 FIS 20 or S912 TI bindings at the moment. I'm not sure which ones to use. (I'm 5'11" , 12st 10)

The 912's are lighter and are 4mm higher than the 914's but i can also swap the underplate from the 912's to the 914's to achieve the same extra 4mm.

Whichever bindings i have left over will be fitted to my Salomon 1080 lab Candides bang on centre point.

What are your thoughts ?


Thanks in advance

search under 'beast' in here, jong. extra lift is generally disliked on fatties around here.

The vertical line is indeed the mount point. Having tested several positions with Railflex, I like mine at 2cm back.

4mm lift won't make much difference one way or the other. If you're center-mounting the Candides, it's probably because they're for park -- so you'd probably want the lighter 912 bindings on them.

Thank you very much for your help.

I've decided to mount the 914's on the beasts at 2.5 cms back and mount the 912's on the 1080 lab candides on boot centre.

I hope the beasts show me new bits of the alps.

I'm off to arabba on saturday to do the marmolada and some heliskiing from corvara.

thanks again
