Official Group Buy Thread for Salomon S/LAB SHIFT Binders

**Spyderjon** · 09-18-2018, 10:49 AM

My first delivery has now been confirmed as w/c 22nd Oct with more coming on the 20th Nov.

**Core Shot** · 09-21-2018, 05:42 PM

Shift is $550 on evo.com

We were told $650 was retail

Still a fair price on the group buy, but not epic.

**jdadour** · 09-21-2018, 07:31 PM

Is the Tahoe Mountain Sports price $550 or $650?

Is it on backcountry, can’t find it

evo recently received first shipment, all 110 and 120 brake options were used to fulfill preorders. Still have 90mm atomics and 100 and 90mm Salomons. Not sure when other shops will recive theirs, but so far demand for this binding vastly outpaces that of first (and second) year kingpin’s.

As far as brake width goes, I’d feel comfortable using 110 brakes on a 116 or maybe even 118 mm ski. A 120mm brake had at least a a cm of excess clearance on a Moment Wildcat. 100mm fit comfortably over tracer 108.

Good beta; did evo get any brakes in?

Solo brakes in all the four widths are available, assuming that your retailer ordered them. My spare brakes have been acknowledged for delivery next week even though my bindings haven't arrived yet.

**Cdubmpdx** · 10-09-2018, 06:24 PM

Anybody know how we are looking on delivery of these? I was going to drop an email but didn't want to if someone else already had.

^^ same question but not delivered, just at the TMS shop since I’m having them mount ‘em. Seems like it should be soonish?

**Cdubmpdx** · 10-09-2018, 09:07 PM

I will shoot an email tomorrow if nobody else has. Just don't want to blow em up with the same question over and over since they are doing us a favor

Ummmm pow

**margotron** · 10-10-2018, 08:08 AM

We ended up at 20% off of $550

**kathleenturneroverdrive** · 10-10-2018, 09:32 AM

FWIW I have a pair with 100mm brakes. I haven't mounted them yet, but they that appear to fit just fine over some 107mm waist Black Crow Corvus.

**barkcity** · 10-10-2018, 02:06 PM

I have the same question. Not a peep from Dave at Tahoe Mountain Sports.

**N1CK.** · 10-10-2018, 02:46 PM

After fondling these at the shop and knowing my usual impulse buying habits, I wish I'd have got in on this.

In the same boat, though I tried to get in, just missed out due to the early deadline.

What are people thinking is going to be the best way to get a bit of a deal on them, Black Friday sale somewhere? Hope for a high ActiveJunky percent?

Wait until spring 2020 or a ‘lightly used pair’ show up on Gearswap?

Which is fine, it’s early October. We just don’t want to bombard him with 15 variations of the same email, so maybe someone can chime in. I’ll probably drop by next week when I’m up that way if no word before then...

**Core Shot** · 10-10-2018, 07:37 PM

I poked them mid September
They politely said they will email when they come in.

Wonder if Salomon boned their shipment just to fudge us.

**SkiLyft** · 10-10-2018, 07:46 PM

FWIW : just talked to a shop here in Spokane. They had one of their team riders on them this year. He rides park and crushed the park all last year on them. Not 1 crack, not one pre-release, no 1 issue. These are going to be BOMBER!
