Anyone have experience with these? I'm looking for new bindings for my Nordica Steadfast. Something that keeps my boot close to the ski and has minimal impact on the skis flex.

Funny you mentioned pivots seeing as I just made a post on ES about this.... I was looking for a setup as well, and they practically cost more than the skis I'm mounting them on. Any idea what kind (12, 14, 16, etc...) you're leaning towards? I have dukes as well and agree the feedback is lacking. Don't think any AT setup can give you that.
I found an alright deal on pivots, this is with a 75mm brake though which is what I was specifically looking for. You can find some deals on backcounty.com as well, keep in mind though that if you find a deal, it's probably with an undesirable brake width like a 130. I looked into getting a different brake and they seem to be prohibitively expensive.
Same boat. All the prices I'm seeing are more than what I paid for the Nordica Steadfast I'd be mounting them on. I'm looking for the 95 break width as the Steadfast is 90mm underfoot. I typically ski a 9.5-10 DIN, so I think I'd be fine with the 120.
The Rossi FKS are even more expensive despite being the exact same binding, but I like the color better. :lol:
In the past, I have had good solid bindings last me longer than skis, but I'm not sure I want to spend $200+ on bindings. I could go with a lesser priced binding like an Axial120, but I've owned them in the past, had release issues and broke them. Doesn't seem worth it to save $100.
Thanks. Tempting, but I wonder if I'll have issues with brake hang up when arcing over the 90mm Steadfast.
Have you skied the Pivot Waloaf? If so, thoughts?
