Right now I'm on two different squires , I destroyed a nose piece of one of them and went through a solid number of 5 brakes this season. I don't know how i do this but it haappens all the time. Now I'm thinking about getting the fks 140. Are the brakes on them durable? Will it be likely that i get them bent or broken too? Is there a way to change them, or is it really as impossible as everyone tells it is?

Thanks in advance.

If you're crashing a lot switch, fks brakes are not for you.

squires total are garbage

attack 13, sth2 13 both have super easy brakes to change.

I love my pivots but I've never broken a brake (I've bent them bad) but if you break A brake it's expensive and a massive pain to interchange them, and you have to take the heel piece off the ski

FKS brakes are super easy to change out. In all reality, they cost $75 for new ones. New Marker brakes run around $60 i believe. With the FKS the only downside is you have to take the heel piece off to change the brake.

Atttack 13 or 16 are super legit as well. Very light, great wide AFD, and it sits pretty low on the ski. Ive had FKS bindings for 6 years and havent had any issues. Only had Atttacks for one so well see. Either way you cant go wrong.

Attacks are a little cheaper and i can definitely feel a difference in swing weight with the FR toe piece. Very light binding.
