I got a pair of salomon teneighty foils, and i want pivoting heel type of bindings. Im thinking either Rossi FKS bindings, or Look P 18's??? Which would be better?

unless you are a monster you wouldnt need p18s - check out some fks 120 or 155's - totally depends on height/weight/ability though..

foils arent worthy for the pivot binders.

Ski Equipment forum is there for a reason...

If you want opinions/help that is even semi-reliable, we need a bit more info on what you ski, how you ski, where you ski. And your personal details

In my opinion, the S9 series are good bindings. Just my $0.02 though.

for what its worth, the foil is a foam core ski, and the heel on the fks has a very close mounting pattern. a combination of those two factors very well could lead to the binding ripping out. oh, and if you put a salomon binding on the ski, it doubles the warrenty on the ski, so i wouldnt pass up the salomon 916sth for this upcoming season if you're looking for a burly binding.

Do you really need a DIN that high? What do you ski/how much do you weigh?

I know the salomon 916 race stocks are great, but they are heavy as hell. Now they have released their 916 light, which sounds sick but I havent used them yet.

I've had much better experiences with pivot bindings than px bindings. all px bindings I've used pre-released on everything. Any pivot bindings I've used have worked great.
