Bindings on alpha 1's, look or marker?

[andyc_skis]

So I have just got some nice new alpha 1's which I'm stocked on, but now have to decide what bindings to mount. I have some look jibs on my old ar6, which are good but was also thinking about some marker dukes or griffins, apart from the obvious din difference are the markers any good or do you think I should put some more looks on?

 

[andyc_skis]

Also are the rossi scratch bindings any good?

 

[armadaskier86]

Any reason why you don't want to use the Marker Jester binding?

salomon sth 12! light, low profile, baller

used to rock the rossi/looks broke to many brakes

go sth 12 or 14 there super solid and lighter

 

[zackblain]

duke? you gonna hike for your turns in the park?

 

[Jesus-FlwrSubaru]

If your AR6 are still in good condish, don't take the bindings off yet, get something like a jester, griffon, sth12, sth14, PX12, or PX15. as far as weight goes, go with the griffons or jesters

 

[andyc_skis]

Yeah sorry meant jesters rather than dukes!

 

[Twig]

sth 14 drivers or jesters would be my pick.. drivers are £150 jesters £189.. maybe sth12s for £125.. griffons are worryingly plastic although i have no experience with them..

 

[blindside]

as mentioned the STH would be a good choice, also consider the head mojo maybe...

 

[Tucks]

I love looks

marker griffon's babyyyY

 

[cobra_commander]

Well if your not having any problems with your current looks I see no reason to spend the extra $40-$50 it costs to get Griffins. Look/rossi 12 dins can be found for $170-$190 usually, and Griffons are $230+, Just get another pair of looks man. they work well. Also the STH 12 is $260, Save the cash and go skiing more instead.

bump

 

[andyc_skis]

Any more ideas?

Jesters and Griffons are identical except for the springs.

Get Griffons or PX, whatever you can get cheap.

 

[A.R.]

YEAH, this guys knows there its at.

 

[borskee]

there are sth 12 on procter jones for $200

 

[MoistAbode]

finally someone else whos know about the griffs and it being not that they are made with more plastic and less durable (they are the same durability as jesters, i've skied both)

 

[MoistAbode]

get the griffons solid binding!!

 

[rodeo1620]

Dukes are a really really bad idea.

Jesters or looks are your best bet. I would say looks though px15s . I've never been a fan of marker bindings until the duke came out.

 

[Balto]

dont get jesters/griffons. they are made to mount on a ski with a minimum width of 86mm. i would say get some px12s, sth12s, fks120, or comp 12s

 

[Krook3d]

FAIL!

The new marker bindings are made for a minimum of 76mm waist,designed for fat skis,i have griffons on both park and pow skis and they've been perfect ever since i used them, Go for griffons,you wont be dissapointed.
