I keep hearing talk that salomon is going to re-design their binding....anyone on here know a little more about it...or is it just a rumor
 
nah din is only at 8 in front and 9.5 in the back, they are so fucking strong. And i already torn my acl last year with scatch bindings, but it wasnt the bindings fault
 
exactly...i weigh about 185 and i set my bindings an 8.5 and thats plenty for me...it pops me out when i need it
 
not all of us are park rats ;)

i'm like 6'3" and 175ish and i use dins below 10. if you ski with good form, your shit tends to stay connected. always had good luck with salomons (but i don't ride park much at all... not my style)
 
im not saying that race bindings are bad....but by watching his vids their is no big mountain or anything like that ..so he probaly skis nothing but park ...i am nothing but a park rat.... but a race binding just isnt good for that! Sure the pros use it but they f*** their binding up
 
You guys are right but only half right. We have a new binding called the Z12 it is light and super bomber. The traditional 9-14 bindings will still exist. The new design is sick and will be strong and lighter than before.
 
or is their going to b a z10? is it still going to have the same type of wings? and when will they release this?
 
yea look and rossi race stock bindings own it a jib binding just lower ur din if u dont wanna screw ur knee up and the s914 binding is heavier than the look and rossi race stock bindings
 
I mean my park skis are the skis i have race bindings on, but my din is 8 in front and 10 in the back, not even that bad, my pow skis are at like 9 all around but i have scratch 12s on them.
 
I had a pair of tyrolia race bindings i used on 15 for big mountain and 13 for park...they're garbage bindings though, they still came off.

Now i have p12s on 10 and they only come off when they're supposed to. I could only see needing a p18 if you're skiing 'gonna seriously die if my skis come off' lines.

The major change with salomon bindings is the removal of the two toe adjustments, height and width. Over time and use the width adjustment would wear out and then you'd get that death rattle where the boot would slop left and right. The height adjustment was removed for pretty much the same reason except the boot would be allowed to move up and down. The less mechanical moving parts the less to wear out and break.
 
If they remove the toe piece adjustments (cup width and height), are they developing a new system to compensate for this? Or are they using the Quadrax system?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but without a properly adjusted clearance height on the toe, Solly would have to adopt an AFD device similar to Rossi.
 
dammit, i forgot something.

strictly lowering your din alone will not protect your knees. knee injuries have many many contributing factors, only one of which is DIN.
 
salmon sucks

my friend has the s912's and cranked them up to 9 cause he always blows out.... he only weighs like 140
 
maybe he needs to get the forward pressure adjusted...

As a shop tech, you're supposed to lean towards the safe side when adjusting bindings. So when adjusting forward pressure, we're supposed to set them on the looser side. On the sollys, forward pressure can probably be adjusted forward one more notch and still be within the recommended range. That one notch may help prevent pre-releases. But you'd better get a tech to do it, otherwise you may just get stuck in your bindings on your next fall.
 
good advice.

has he also considered that maybe its not the bindings, but rather he is not doing something right? most of the people i have seen having "pre-release" problems were doing some retarded shit whether or not they knew it. (like spinning too early on jumps for example)
 
one day i cranked my dins to 17 cus it was impossible to get to `18 it was so uncomfortable. I dunno why. I usually ride at 15 when im doing small stuff and lower it on big stuff. In pow I crank em .
 
i am n-os friend and i just had to adjust them prperly, they work great now, my dins are at 6
 
yep, and then you start popping out for no reason, and it sucks when you're doing mogul lines and ur ski randomly pops off, trust me.

lets just say i put look p12s on my new skis.
