Rossignol FKS 140 vs Rossignol Freeski2 140

[FLSkier]

Which binding would you recommend for a park ski? What is the pivotal heel on the fks, and how does it benefit skiing?

go with the FKS, the turntable heel allow for 360 degree rotation which will help save your knees, plus they are BOMBPROOF! worth the extra money for the FKS cause they'll last you much longer.

if you can afford the extra money the FKS's will cost you go for those.

Theres only a $40 difference between the freeski2 and the FKS 140... So i ended up just buying the FKS's off getboards.com, they have it for $253? or something like that, it came in 4 days and I live in NY if thats any help..

 

[ski-swagga]

nice you made the correct choice

 

[Captain_Slow]

thank you sir

 

[FLSkier]

So when you release from the binding when you fall, the heel rotates like the toe so it is a cleaner release?

I was almost 100% sure that getboards.com had a thing that said they didnt shop til december but I just checked and there was nothing about that. Are they heavy?

 

[FLSkier]

What is the advantage to the turntable heel? I have also heard that it is hard to step into these bindings, Is there any truth to that?

 

[Captain_Slow]

I have yet to try my FKS's , the next time I'll try them will be in CO, they do feel heavy compared to my M11s, but if they are stable i rlly dont mind, as long as they dont break left and right like my m11s

 

[skiminnesota]

comparing those bindings is like comparing a Kia and a Porsche..

you will love them.

the 11.0 frees arent that bad. Then again theyre not great. I think the 11.0 frees are a little on the heavy side so idk if the FSK would work for me

 

[BWalmer]

It allows for a cleaner release and if your knee twists it will come out easier, but wont pre-release as much.

 

[SweatyBallShack]

Should i just forget about them being heavy and get them?

 

[FLSkier]

thanks, im going to get the FKS 140
