Ummm.... No.
I thought Kung Fujas were way stiffer than the old Fugitives?
Could be wrong though.

Well a lot of people are gonna tell you to look at the look px's, rossi axial, dynastar jib which are all the same binding. They are very affordable and they are pretty much bomb proof. I have a pair of px12s and while they are bomb proof I dont really like the functionality of them. I would reccommend that you look at getting some head mojo 15s. Awesome binding and still affordable (I got mine for 175 shipped). Salomon sth bindings are solid and marker jesters are pretty solid from what I hear. Look around and check them all out because I think you can find some deals out there this time of year.

Griffons. A nice light binding to slap onto some nice light skis.

They are plastic, but you're not big enough to worry about that
