The 14s are metal toe and heel and they have a "driver" toe piece. They adjust to your boot toe height and width also have a 4 screw mount apposed to the 3 auto adjust toe on the 12s. And there is the difference in upper din settings

How wide is too wide?

I generally don't have a din set above 10 so I'm not sure I need that. I found another pair of the axial 2s for 178, maybe I'll see if I can find any of those for cheaper

I saw a guy at Magic yesterday that had the widest skis I've seen to date. They seriously looked like he took two of the narrower carving snowboards and stuck ski bindings on them, only they were much longer. I can't imagine needing that much surface area to stay afloat on any type of deep powder. He wasn't a heavy looking guy either. Just makes me wonder, do some companies take it too far? Is that every really necessary?

Well I decided to go with the 191s after reading about the previous years live lifes and looking at some skis at alpine haus. Couldn't pass up that deal, looks like I should be able to get the skis and bindings for about 500 total

Not a bad price at all. Good luck and be sure to let us know what you think once you have been on them.

Great desccription. I know the OP already bought so it doesnt really matter for him but it's the metal construction that adds to the cost and hopefully to the longevity of the bindings The driver toe is a nice feature though not neccesary. At 6' and almost 260
I'm pretty hard on my bindings so didn't mind the extra cash. I wound up buying the previous model year and paid 169 I believe.

I heard someone else mention that guy. I wish we had a pic. Maybe they were the new "Circus Clownz"

I actually haven't bought any bindings yet, I'm still looking. I found the axial2s for 137, I haven't really found anything else for less than 200 so I may end up going with those

Ok so I could get the axials with a 120mm brake for 137 shipped or I could get the look px 12s for the same price except the brakes are only 100mm. I assume I would need to buy the wider brakes so it would be an extra 30 bucks or so right? Would it be worth it for the looks over the rossis?

Same binding, different color and name.

Well then it looks like I'm getting the rossignols. Just wish I could find another pair of the Orange ones for the same price. That's what I have now and I love how they look

That's the same binding as this isn't it?

Level nine has the axial with 120mm brake for 119

That looks like it's the demo version (as it has the demo plate underneath). Does that make a difference?
jrmagic

I didn't even notice that... Demo bindings arent bad per se but If I was going to be the only one using them I would opt for the non-adjustable ones.

What's the difference between freeski2 binding and Axial2 binding? Is it adjustable to fit a slight different BSL?
