The answer to "what binding"

i know it might not be newschoolers related but does anyone use Marker Baron? i wanted to mount those bindings on some armada jj or dynastar legend and i don't know how heavy this set can get. i don't wanna build a trekking set that weights shit ton and i can ski with

I hear that the tyrolia adrenaline is pretty light. Idk about the Barons
 
I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on the marker griffons but many of these are older threads, are the newer models more durable and strong?
 
I'm also looking for some advice.

I just got myself a new pair of Armada Edollos (188, 2017).

Currently using K2 Recoil with Salomon STH 13.

When i bought them i didn't do much gym activitys and was like 175lbs.

Since then i got up to 200lbs, vary between 190 and 210.

With my old Skis i could not really butter that good, since they are pretty stiff.

This is gonna change now, since i will butter alot.

I am riding mostly everywhere, 50/50 park and pow.

Also cruising around the slope sometimes, playing around, butter around etc.

That's why i would go for a 14/15 binding i guess?

I want to keep costs on a medium level.

I can't find a lot of the bindings mentioned in the Thread (I'm from Germany).

Alot of them seem to be out of stock.

Do you guys have any idea which one i should get?

I'm curious as to what you mean by 14/15. Are you talking DIN range or year? You can always look into the Attack 13's or the Griffons.

There is no reason to shy away from the Griffons. If you want something beefier you can always go with the Jesters but really think about if its necessary for you to justify the cost.

tbh i have no clue about bindings at all.

The Thread said

"14/15 Din Bindings: I would recommend a 14/15 din binding generally only for people who are 175lbs+ as well as being a pretty aggressive skier. "

That pretty much fits me, since i am about 195-210 lbs and wanna go for butters, park, pow - which gonna be pretty aggressive.

A Din calculator i used told me to go for Din 9.5, after i put my data in.

Although I am a certified tech, I am not going to give you a DIN setting over the internet but I will give you some recommendations for a binding. What is your actual weight, height, age, skiing ability (Type 1,2, or 3), where do you ski, what ski are you on?

Weight: 200lbs

height: 187cm 6"2 i guess

age: 22

skiing ability: pretty good,but i wouldn't not say very advanced.

(would still get one for type III)

Will probably make a big skill jump once i moved to austria next year tho.

Where do i ski: I would say pretty much 50:50 pow/park. Could go 60 park, really depending on the weather.

Ski: Armada Edollo 2017, 188cm lenght, 98mm middle - gonna mount center i guess, since it's also factory recommended

Price: I want to keep it up to 250$ if that possible.

I really really appreciate your help!
 
So, i just bought myself the Salomon STH2 WTR 16 now. What do you think about those? Got them in 100mm also, should fit perfectly
 
IMO pivot bindings are by far the best bindings available for every day park skiing. Eject much more cleanly and are much more forgiving.

I rock the pivot 12s / FKS 120 at 9.5 DIN and they work great. IMO there is no need to get the higher DIN bindings (14, 18) unless you ride your DINs at 10+

I had griffons and they kinda broke after two years. Now i have to adjust them to be a little smaller than my boots so they don't open. Good bindings tho

Don't real want to spend the 180 on fks. Are the attack bindings that most companies make decent? What would you recommend for a cheaper durable all mountain bindings, pow and park. 170lbs. Thanks
Click to expand...

Bindings durability correlates pretty well with price, the more expensive the more durable, attack 13's are okay with durability and 16's are pretty good but me and my brother have each broken attack 13's and have fks 140's now. If your 170 and ski hard your gonna want something substantial even if its a little pricey upfront.
 
What would you advise for me: Tyrolia Attack 11 or Tyrolia Peak 11?

I'm 164 cm tall and 52 kilos weight. Skis: K2 missDemeanor 121-90-112

Want to start to ride in a park and freeride.

i would say either would do the job for the most part but a better more durable option would be stepping up into a Tyrollia attack 13, Marker Griffon, salomon warden 13 or look/fks 12. they'll be a little more expensive but more durable, you would also have to make sure your din setting would fit with them, your probably a 5 or 6 but I'd definately check on that before you buy one.

Yeah, they both have from 3 to 11 din.

Just ordered the Candid 2.0.. the ski has a 102 waist. Could a 95 be stretched to fit these as well, or would you recommend a 115?
Click to expand...

I have the 2.0's also, did you end up going with the 95? Have you had any issues riding or landing switch. I recently just broke one of my brakes which were 115 and my replacements came with 130 and I'm sending them in to get them replaced with 95 or 115.
 
I may sound dumb but are the pivot 12s fundemently the same as the 14s just a lighter spring? I want a nice durable binding but I don't want to drop cash in the 14s or the fks 140s
 
I've always had bad experiences with Marker. They are not durable at all. Heaps of my mates have had Squires and they constantly break and are unreliable. I found this weird since everybody froths Markers and you see them all over the mountain. I thought this might only be a problem with the Squires because they're so light and therefore probably not made of the most durable plastics. So I then got some Jester 16s and had exactly the same problem. I broke a break coming off a rail. So I replaced the break and then broke it again the same season. Has anybody else had this sort of experience with them?

Also, when I click down into them it takes a really solid stomp to get in, instead of just gracefully "snapping" into place like other bindings. This makes them feel really unreliable as if I haven't clicked in properly and they'll just pop out at any time.

So on my next pair of skis I got Tyrolia Attack 13s and they are much better, but recently I bent the brakes and now they bend quite often and scrape on the snow and don't come down when my skis come off etc. They are a real struggle.

So I'm now on a binding hunt again. I have a bad history of thrashing all my shit so I want some really solid and really reliable bindings that will live on forever. Please help.
 
Changing bindings won't do anything if you bend the brakes (metal is metal, it bends when enough force is applied to it). Just get new brakes for your Tyrolias.
 
Okay, so I am 6,8ft/2,05m and my weight is 233lbs/106kilos. I really only want to do manuals/wheelies and buttering. Here and there some rails and jumps. What should I do? Since I feel like I'm a pretty special case..

presses and butters can be pretty demanding on a binding, esp since youre not a little guy. id say you should get a decent binding. pivots or Attacks, whichever model best suits your DIN setting. not Attack 11s

The marker griffin was a solid binding for me through middle school and the earlier parts of high school but I found that once my skiing got more aggressive the griffin did not cut it. The griffin blindings on all of my friends skis have fallen right off of the track when landing any sort of big air. Don't get me wrong they are solid bindings and being I work at a ski shop I sold then to hundreds of customers, however for any aggressive sandy skier the griffin is not gonna hold on for long at all.Go for pivots all the way.
 
Yo so I’ve just bought some CT 3.0s and I gotta get bindings on em. I’m also trying to squeeze another year out of my boots before getting a size up. Are there any bindings with a good amount of forward pressure adjustability? I don’t wanna have to remount next season.

I’m not a fan of Markers since my griffons broke fairly quickly after going fat to flat. I’d probably go for a pair of look bindings, but I dont know how adjustable they’ll be. Any input would be hella clutch.

...in my experience and that of everyone I know, they're not bad about pre releasing, so you can run "true" din settings on them imo. If you're particularly hard on bindings tho I'd say get the 16s, they are made a little more durable

Thanks bro ski!!
 
So I'm about to buy a new pair of skis and I'm not sure which binding to buy though I'm leaning against getting the pivot 12 or 14. So my question is if there are any differences between pivot 12 and 14 except the DIN range? Are the toe or heel pieces worse in the 12? How do they compare qualitywise? Tried to search for it but didn't find any good answers (maybe i'm shit at searching tho)

Shit, i forget (haven't had to buy pivots for years :) )

But the best way to search this site (which has tons of pivot discussion over the years) is googling site:newschoolers.com + your search terms

Didn't find the exact answer on NS but searched it up on a swedish forum where it said that 14 and 12 had the same housing and everything with the only difference being the DIN range. Cheers

Salomon STH's have a decent amount of adjustment (about a boot size each direction) and are a solid binding with a good selection of brake widths. The brakes are also easy / inexpensive to change up if you move them to a different ski.
 
Whats up

It is my third season of active riding and I have been using my cousins old(ragged) skis which I got for like 100 euros. So I think it is time to buy a set of new ones. I have been thinking about the new Armada ARW 96, but because I'm such a novice I don't have any idea how wide bindings should I get.

I know the guideline that they should be as wide as the skis or a little bit wider.

Can someone suggest some bindings and give a reason why.

Peace

You know the arw are a women's ski right? Just making sure. Arv is the male version

And I'd say get the tyrola attack 13s. Cause they're a great binding for pretty cheap and they're pretty light

The look pivots in general are widely considered to be the best binding out. They’re 360 degree rotating heel piece gives the most consistent and reliable release on the market. Also, the metal toe piece is extremely durable and will last way longer than any other binding. Finally, the toe piece won’t have durability issues due to the vertical placement of the spring as opposed to marker bindings which have a horizontal spring. Just get pivots m8.
