Freeflex ST 14 BRAKE 85 [A] (25-26)

The Freeflex ST 14 is a competition and high-performance binding, often used in HEAD's Race and Performance Carving ranges

• Target Audience: Expert skiers, competition athletes (outside World Cup/FIS level), and aggressive carving enthusiasts.
• DIN Range: The 14 indicates a DIN range of 4 to 14. This is a very high range that ensures maximum retention for heavy, fast skiers or those who experience very high G-forces in carved turns.

• Freeflex Technology: The distinguishing feature. The heel mechanism is not rigidly fixed to the ski; it allows the ski to flex naturally and unhindered under the boot during the turn. This ensures constant ski contact with the snow, maximizing power transmission and control.

• ST (Stack Toe): Indicates a lower toe piece that improves direct contact with the ski.

The Brake: BRAKE 85 [A]

85 mm: This is the inner width of the ski brake. It is designed for very narrow skis, typically Slalom (SL) or Giant Slalom (GS) skis with waist widths (middle) up to approximately 85 mm.

• Example: It would be perfectly suited for a ski with a 68 mm waist, such as the Worldcup Rebels e-SL.

• [A] (Compatibility Code): This code is an internal Tyrolia/HEAD classification that confirms the brake's compatibility with competition/performance bindings like the Freeflex (and Attack) series.

In Summary

You are describing a high-level competition binding (DIN 14) that uses Freeflex technology to optimize ski flex, mounted with a narrow 85 mm brake, perfect for highly profiled Slalom or Carving skis.
