2027 Rossignol PX 18 WC Rockerrace Bindings

The Look PX 18 WC Rockerace is a World Cup race binding designed for racers who want maximum elastic travel and precise power transfer. It uses an all-metal race toe, a semi-suspended heel, and a short mounting zone that lets the ski flex naturally. The result is a fast, precise binding that reduces pre-release and keeps racers connected to the ski through the toughest courses.

Why we like it:

Look's elastic travel is legendary, and the PX 18 WC delivers some of the longest in the industry, absorbing shock and recentering quickly so you stay in the binding when it matters. We also like the short mounting zone, which lets the ski bend more freely for cleaner, more precise turns.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert racers competing in FIS, collegiate, or high-level junior programs. It suits strong, heavier skiers who need a high release range and a binding that won't pre-release on rough, icy courses.

Highlights:

An all-metal aluminum race toe gives the PX 18 WC 45mm of elastic travel and a 180-degree multi-directional release, while its fast recentering reduces unwanted pre-release. The semi-suspended heel lets the ski flex naturally underfoot for better precision and control. A short mounting zone reduces swing weight and helps the ski bend evenly, and Look's rolling control limits roll before the boot engages the binding for instant power transfer. A mechanical upward release works independently of the heel, and the DIN range runs from 10 to 18. It requires skis equipped with Rossignol's R22 race plate.

Things to consider:

The PX 18 WC is a dedicated race binding that requires an R22 plate and works with alpine-norm (ISO 5355) boots only. Its high release range is intended for strong, heavier racers rather than recreational skiers.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Pair the PX 18 WC with a ski that has an R22 race plate; the binding comes with an 80mm brake for race-width skis. Have a certified race technician set your DIN and adjust the binding to your boot.
