I have 175 4frnt TNKs and was thinking about buying FKS 180s.  Should I buy the XL or L version of the FKSs?  I am buying online and am unsure. but if anyone could give me any advice that would be awesome.  thanks

If you have to ask this you probably shouldn't be buying these in the first place. The XL or L just is the brake width, it has nothing to do with performance. Judging by the lack of savvy demonstrated in this question I can tell you right now that you should not even get the FKS 180.

i know it is the brake width i was just wondering 90mm or the 115 mm ( L or XL) would be more suitable.  Sorry for being ignorant and whatnot.  Just have had a lot of brake problems in the past and everyone ive talked to has suggested these

How wide is your ski?


You seem to already have all the information to solve this for yourself.

I saw this thread with all the people telling telling you not to get the 180s and was thinking eh, he's probably a good skier, chill out people. Then I saw that you do rodeos on small jumps and ski in pennsylvania. Get px 12s.

As ridiculous and expensive the 180's are, they're also the coolest looking binding ever made.

They do start at 8, so if u ski at 10 and want a binding that will last forever, its not that terrible of an idea, they do test out really well in the bottom of their din range, but if u have any questions about it, u probably don't need it
