binding choice: salomon 912 vs. look p12 (or rossi axial 120) ?
I'm trying to pick between bindings to put on some skis that have been
sitting bare for a couple seasons. I'm down to salomon 912's vs. Look p12's or their Rossignol equivalents (axial 120 ?). Here's my inputs: - I weigh 165lbs/75kg, 6ft/182cm, DIN 6 (should be reviewed), somewhere between intermediate & advanced. Steep with limited recovery is the only thing that spooks me, I'm lifetime east coast US (hardpack, no powder opptys), I like flat cruising, or at least I have no interest in mogul fields - small & large turns at speed are more my bag, my choice vs. the terrain's. - I've been on Salomons since I can remember. Currently on Serie 7's vintage 1994. - I like the idea of the rotary heelpiece on the Looks, am interested in trying it - for the added safety factor - these will go on Rossi 9X 201cm I picked up virtually for free courtesy of the shaped ski revolution - I want to avoid the Salomon 914 cause I'm at the bottom of their DIN range, and even if I should go up, I'd rather be on a 4-12 vs. a 6-14. - I've been going through the gear reviews on paper and online. I gather that the Looks have a good rep for quality engineering and precision. Just read that Salomon's AFD is crude compared to others. I've had a single inappropriate release out of my Serie 7's, and all Salomon's I've owned have been utterly reliable. - I'm interested in the benefits of lifter plates; Salomon's look a little more advanced than Look's. - SKI mag sez the Sal PowerAxe plate is harsh. So given all this, if you have an opinion about this choice or the comments here, share it ? - much appreciated! Tx, J. |
