The Titanal 2's were lighter than the Freerides; I was leery of the toe pieces on the Freerides but have never had any problems at all, so maybe they addressed that issue. If anything, I was concerned about the release characteristics of the Freerides because I never released from them until this past weekend. Got all ginked up skiing the bump course and saw the crash coming, knew that losing a ski was going to be a good thing. The binding that needed to released perfectly! Sounds weird, but it's a great relief to know it works properly.
