Hey whats up..ive herd only good things about these bindings..can someone tell me about them from past experience. the site doesn't say much..are they heavy? i plan on gettin the 614 but dont know much about them. is the Salomon s914 a valid choice as well? ( Fyi: i ripped my heal piece out of my s912 ti, so im Iffy about salomon) Thanks guys..

yes they are a little heavy but they are bulletproff so i wouldn't think you'd have any trouble breaking them or having them pull out of the heel. the insides of these things are metal theres also an add on to the lower din bindings the 412 and 614 where you can lock out the toe which is a great addition for any park riding where your gonna land switch it makes for no upward toe release which if you think about it makes a hole lot of sense. these things are the real deal beefy bindings and are affordable compared to other 14 or 16 din bindings so i would deffinitly reccomend them and yes i've ridin them before for about two years now and they are deffinitly worth it.

Yo, ripping the heel piece out is the skis fault. It all depends on the core of the ski if you pull them out. F 4FRNTs. Get either Rossi Scratch 12 WBs, or Salomon Z12.

yeah they're really not that heavy i have the 614s and i also have p10s and theres really no wait difference the best part about them i think is how much the brake comes in when u step into the ski so that they'll never catch when riding switch

The standard brake on the deadbolt is supposed to fit a 104 waist, but I've gotten them over a 110 waist with no bending.
