So i've got a pair of 2009 EP Pro's, and i want a binding for them. Im 5'9 and weigh about 120 lbs, and im going to be about 90% backcountry and 10% just general moving around. My main choices are:

Mojo 12's - £115

PX12's - £124

and Griffon 12's - £150

So do i fork out the extra cash for the Griffon's? Since everybody rates them so much?

Additional Info: They've been drilled once for Jesters (307mm boot) at -1. I know this because I sold them to him. That may or may not affect the decision due to mounting pattern clashes.

Personally, I don't rate Griffon's durability that highly, and I hated PX12s, i've heard good things about the Mojo 12 and its cheapest too.

I used to have a pair of mojo 12s. They were really good until one day they exploded when I was landing switch. I say spend more and get the 15s. or save up more and get jesters instead of griffons.

if you get griffins you probably wouldn't have to redrill

My boots have a 317mm sole though? So i dont think they would fit? I have no idea about binding and mounting though so tell me if im wrong!

Out of the 3 I'd go with Griffons. Personally I've never had any problems as of yet with them.

If most bindings adjust like 2cm (the px series adjusts like 40mm and the fks series only like 10mm) but I bet you could adjusts the griffins without having to redrill, you just run the risk of having to redrill if your feet grow a ton

nice! couldn't have worked out better for ya

that being said... on the re-drill, you may be able to adjust the heel piece, but if not, just remount the heel. holes will be fine, and you'll effectively split the difference and be mounted 1.5 to 2 back from center.

nice, thats a win right there.

Drill them into the same holes and slide the heelpiece back a bit. Griffons/jesters are super adjustable and 1 cm isnt that much difference.
