ROSSI/LOOK all the way. I have the scratch 100 bindings, they are light, don't prelease, don't ware out, and they look good! Salomon bindings are crap, especially the new ones

deffinately go with the rossi's. he is right, it does take more to release them, but they always come off when they should. and not when they shouldnt, which is what salomon is notorious for.

rossi/look have a really good rep...but salomon's this year are kick ass...they are WAY lighter than the rossi's look better, and have a more dynamic toe piece...if you cranked them all the way up, and still come out....you must be a 6'8 300 pound freak who cant ski

I'm 5'10 170lbs, and i had them cranked right up. I have some nice halfpipe footage of me landing tricks and having the ski still fall off. I was in a comp and i would land a trick, then fall because my ski popped off. I talked to several other salomon owners and they had the same problems.

i have the new salomon s912Ti widebrake...set the din at 9, and i've only come out twice...and that's saved my leg/life both times. try setting the din lower...if the binding goes to 12...put it just over 10, bindings dont work well at the very top/bottom of the range

Solomon Bindings do make you pop out too much, plus they are heavy, go with the Looks/Rossis or Markers or Tyrolias

the widebrake solomons are the lightest high performance binding on the market right now...the lower ones s710, or s810 are a little heavy

I skied Salomon s900ti bindings for 2 seasons and am now on Rossi Axial Carbon 110's. I find the rossis much better because they have a lighter toe piece (and maybe heel piece, It is very close to the salomons' weight), shorter mounting pattern (for better ski flex), rotating heel for more release angles, and much more elastic travel before release.

PocketRocket, stop trying to defend salomon. you aren't being very objective because you don't seem to have skied the rossis.

I pre-released from my salomons all the time and at the same setting, they often did not release causing me serious leg injury. I weigh 160lbs and skied them on a din of 10.5.

I now ski rossis on a din of 8.5 and have had no unwanted releases and they release no matter how odd a fall I have.

The s912ti widebrake is no better than the s912ti and is actually heavier because of the wider brake (minimally).

I just bought the solomon s900 bindings. They worked fine except for one run right under the chairlift. picture this. I'm rippen down the moguls. suddenly my ski just takes off down the hill. other than that one time the bindings have worked perfectly for me. and the bindings i had before were rossi's. I smashed up the toepeice. they were cheap bindings. the antifriction plate broke right off.
