First of: What DIN do you use/need?
If you don't know or are not sure give us your height, weight, ski level and bootsole length.

I have these brand new 180 bucks

I have these used in red/black for 110 bucks, different toepiece (freeride slider)

Hopefully this helps, some consider these the best binding others think they are unnecessary.

All I know is people have been looking for them for a long time and I love mine.

Easily the best weight to stregth ratio of any binding. 

These brakes are 80 mm wide and will fit around any waist to 86 with no bending.

I wish I could afford to keep them but I am in a really tight spot with cashflow.

I would not recommend the Marker 12.0... instead you could have a look at the STH 12, which is really like the Z12 but more durable. The Look PX12's and Rossignol Axial 120 are also popular choices when it comes to freestyle bindings.

If you're looking for lightweight Salomon and Marker would be the way to look. The STH 12 or 16 from Salomon are some of the lightest freestyle bindings on the market. The STH stands for Steel Heal Housing that helps make it burley and keep your brakes from getting ripped off when you land switch. The new Jester from Marker is light as well with baller construction with Din from 6-16 and a wider screw pattern that gives you more energy to the edge... I'd say the Salomon is light but the marker skis better. The marker free 12 is alright but doesn't really match up to either of the other 2 and isn't used by many park guys cause they seem to release a little easier than most (less elasticity).

you sound like a catalouge... and thats not a good thing...



if youre light, sth12 would work, px12 aint bad (a bit heavier) but that weight is on your feet, so whatever. fks120 and p12 are good too, but if you can't see the necessity in a solid binding such as those, then screw it, get the marker 12.0 and live in hell.
