Is it possible to get a wider brake that will fit this heal piece?
Nope. The brakes for the Rocker Race are not interchangeable with other SPX/PX heels. Since the binding was developed to specifically to work on race skis, there was no wider brake produced.Is it possible to get a wider brake that will fit this heal piece?
Personally, I hate it everytime I step in it. It can be very tough even with 315ish mm sole. Once in, it's fine. I wish they made the 18 in a lower Din spring, even at the 18 price, but Look is a stubborn mule.
Despise the heel. No idea why you'd use it if you didn't have to. Maybe you have reasons. If you can use a Din 10, get the 18. Don't know about the "regular". No idea what that is, I suspect only the way it attaches to ski is different.Is it the SPX heel you don't like? Does it step in differently than the regular SPX heel found in the non race binding?
Do those tabs go into a corresponding slot?
Given the back of the binding isn't screwed down, it should actually allow the ski to flex more, hence the design change.I just installed the Rockerace 15 and noticed the change in the heel versus the SPX race bindings. Looks to me like the binding will still flex with the ski as the SPX did but maybe they just fine tuned the design.
I got these last year off ebay. No store I went to had the Forza. The step in for the heel is much better than theon my older Rossi’s Master ski.

so why is the difference in the step in James? The design looks identical to the SPX. The only difference is that the connecting bar - which attaches to the heel chassis rather than the heel piece - has been elimiNated. I may be missing something that has changed but I can’t see it. unfor I only have rockerace 18s here so can’t do a side by side comparo. Could removing the connector make that much difference in feel?
The 2020 Rockerace bindings now include plastic tabs at the back that fills in the rocker gap. Doesn't this defeat the purpose? Anyone know the reasoning behind it?
BTW, I think the heel mechanism was updated in some way; it's easier to step out and releasing the binding by hand won't cut your fingers off.

Nice deal on some Rockerace 15s. Forza fire color scheme no less.
