I'm sorry for making another thread but I need a decent comparison between the two so I know which one I should buy. I'm 16 and 105 pounds. I'm going to be getting into park for the next 2 years and I want a durable binding that isn't going to rip from under my feet if I set my spin too hard. I bought some 2012 Alpha-1's which I will be mounting with those bindings in the middle of this season. Also, l ski on the west coast and logged about 70 days last season. Any insight about either binding is very much appreciated!

What do you ride your din at? For park I think most people will say that the FKS is the best binding safety/retention/durability wise for park. Only downside is its a huge pain when you snap a brake. I would take a look at fks 140's if you ride a din of at least 7ish.
The px series is not that great IMO.
As for the mojo's, they are just rebranded tyrolias. I don't really know much about the 12 din tyrolia binding, but I have heard only good things about the higher 15/18 din versions. The 7.5 version is crap tho.
I would also take a look at STH 12's, they seem like a pretty solid binding as far as plastic goes.

That's a coincidence. My current bindings are 2011 Salomon STH 12's with the DIN set at 3.5. I advanced really fast from the last time I mounted those skis so I had completely different specs when I told tech service about mounting my last skis so when the season starts I'm planning on cranking the DIN to 5.5 or 6.

I only have a max budget of $180~ for bindings. How about the 2010 PX 12 Coreupt? I'm really convinced by them. They seem to be a good choice, and fairly cheap too!

The coreupts are rebranded tyrolia as well. Same binding. I have mojo 11's on my backyard setup skis and hate em. Love my mojo 15's. Im 5'11 and 175 so thats why the 11s dont work for me.

If your on a budget, the px12 would probably be fine, escpecially with your weight/din requirements.

I think you're confused man. Coreupts definitely not Tyrolias.
