FKS vs. PIVOT

chill bud, i was just wondering if there is anything different between them, i know they look exactly the same i just wanted to be sure....
 
rossy bought look a couple years back. its like NIke and Jordan. jordan is a part of nike but still a separate brand but a different logo and color
 
Some of the Rossis used to come with toe lifters and long screws as standard. Ask your shop before buying.
 
You are getting the exact same binding . Built off the same engineering specifications and with same materials, with parent ownership of look/ Rossi . There's a very good chance they are constructed in the same manufacturing plant . Our luck on the consumer end is it gives you the choice of 2 colors in the same model year .
 
Botton line is they are the same, just in a different color. But you cant go wrong with either. Best binding on the market by far.
 
for shea yeah, he is a mainah and is basically a Paul Bunyan on skis. For most people the plastic toes are just fine.
 
yeah I know, someone was making a joke based on the misconception that the 18's don't have upward release, which they sure as hell do.
 
Yeah I remember thinking the 18s didn't have an upward release, but I checked the Rossi site and they do. I definitely remember threads many years ago with us talking about the 18 toe piece being different, I guess we were just wrong back then.
 
Some people think that because there are test videos showing the limited upward release movement of the 18s. They show that the boot will stay in/doesnt have enough room to flip out of the bining. What they forget is that the heel pieces have forward pressure and can move back a bit so that the boot can flip out of the toe pieces.
 
Someone should photoshop Shea's head on the guy that's on the Brawny paper towel package.

That and OP's name is hilarious given the question.
 
Not sure if trolling? The 18 toe piece is completely different to the 14's one. The 14 uses a split wing design, the 18 has a single-piece toe mounted on a lobed pylon with proper 180 degree release.
