Which one is better?

What are the perks of each?

Are they worth buying?

Everyone always talks about them like they are the best, and they are like 250-400 dollars so i want to get a good pair, but i dont know what to get.

I looked at many photos and read many reviews of each product. The Look pivot 14s look the exact same thing as Rossi Fks 140, Same with the Pivot 18s and Fks 180. But is there a tie breaker somewhere?

I know that the 18s and the Fks 180 have the pivot heel and toe but do i really need all that?
 
Been looking at both those in 18 for this season. Trying to find a binding that will last more than a few months. Only thing I noticed was the warrenty on the fks in longer than the pivots. You can find pivots cheaper than fks but in all they are the exact same from what I have found
 
You didn't bother to think because they look similar they are similar? Though if you're looking at atmoic bindings you should probably get salomon.....
 
They are the same bindings made in the same factory just with different colors. As far as getting the 14 or 18 depends on what din you are and a tech can tell you what your din is. Don't worry about the plastic toe being weak. Unless you are shea flynn you are most likely not gonna blow up the toe.

The only down side of the fks/pivots is the brakes. They don't sell replacements like every other binding in the industry. Also don't spend more than $200 on the 14s. That is as low as you can get them for brand new.
 
Ive skied both the look pivot 14 and the rossignol fks 18. They skied the same. One thing I will say is that both have very smooth releases unlike any other binding I have skied. If your willing to have a alittle heavier binding due to the full metal casing then I would say either one would be a great binding.
 
they are identical. Same binding, same everything, just different color. p14 and fks14 have a toe that split releases and is plastic. p18 and fks18 have all metal single piece toe. Neither toes pivot. Don't get an 18 unless you set your dins 12+.

Ahhh, I love the sound of knee surgery in the future. Get the 14 din versions.

Also, If you need to ask....you know how the rest of the saying goes.
