You can ride them at 8 just fine, but that's a pretty gross waste of money. That's a lot of binding for park, I've seen some kids at Breck that don't need to be riding them at anything higher than 8. Hope they don't fuck themselves up.
as someone who has both of the above mentioned bindings (well FKS 185s from a couple seasons ago) and the px12s.
comparing those bindings is like comparing a lambo and a ford focus. the only fixed heel piece in rossi's line worth riding other than the turn table is the SAS heel.
i have the new 140's and they do the job on my park skis just fine. ive never pre-released or not released when needed. except once when i hit a tree but that was my fault! haha
oh, definitely. i was more comparing the construction of the binding than the din range.
god knows i dont ride an 18 lol
IMO if you are asking on NS then there is NO WAY you should be buying an 18 din high performance binding.
although i do like the more bomber toe of the 155-185 VS the former 120 toe. (having both mounted on different skis)
not to mention if you buy at the right time you can get the 140s super super cheap. my shop was closing them out for 180.
