px12s are a little on the heavy side, but super burly
griffons are the opposite

i would say go for sth 12/14

alot of hate on marker but if you are a small light skier and not really agressive m12 free twin cams will be great. very light and just crank the din up. i had them last year and they treated me well, never broke and once the din was dailed didnt pre release.

They are a Jr binding. I asked and they said they are built the exact same just with a lower din. I ride px 12 and I am 175lbs and keep my din at 9. So these would be fine for you at 125lbs
