Which bindings' brakes run wider

Pivots run wider than stated. You can easily fit them up to 110mm waist.

you will not need to bend the 95 attack brakes to fit a 98 mm ski

notLeftHandedQuestion for y'all:

Between 95mm pivots or attack 2s, which would fit a 98 underfoot better, ergo with less/no bending? Or will either work? I hoard bindings when they go on sale so i already have them on hand, also i like how both of em ski, so price/perf aren't an issue here.

both will fit with no bending. The easiest way to pick the brake size you need is to look at the sizes the brand produces and pick the size closest to the width of your skis, so pivot 95s would be best suited for skis 85-105mm, any narrower and you'd be better with 75s and wider you want 115s.
the attack2 range for their 95s would be 90-103mm
