Hey guys, I'm getting some 09 179 hellbents and was wondering what bindings are recommended. I want to get the 01 mojo 15's in multicolour but not sure if they are suitable. Any suggestions?
oh and i did use the search bar :)

any binding with a high enough din for ur wieght and that u can get a wide enough brake for would work just fine.

dukes or barons, with gun metal, they look rad and if you wanna hike they are doing the job

Why would anyone want to tour on Hellbents?  Go for the mojo 15.  Super solid binding.  Jester and px14's would also do the job if that is your your din range

I love skinning on the heaviest touring bindings, 11.5 lb skis and alpine boots too...

actually I guess that is sort of true since my next skis w/dukes are probably 10.4lbs or so...

but no, if you are not SKINNING to get to the goods ever, don't get any Marker royal family binding.  The Mojo 15s would be a good choice, here some newer lighter ones(peaks): http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Tyrolia-Peak-15-Binding/HEA0035M.html#answer_118969

I am not a big fan of the dildo heel piece binding, but think Tyrolia Peak (15 and 18) are the best binding ever made.  They don't pre-release, but do come off when they should, and unlike FKS style bindings they have an upward toe release and a few other release directions that may save your legs.

Im about 5'11, around 140-145 lbs, have a DIN on 11, I dont do alot of park skiing jsut more into charging the back country and that stuff. Thanks for all your responses +k
And yeah im not really into the Look style heel piece
The Tyrolia peak 15 and the Head mojo 15 is where I'll probably be heading
