As the title of my thread goes, if it aint broke dont fix it. I say this in reference to the older Look Pivots/Rossignol axial bindings. NO I am not talking about the FKS style. I am talking about these:

These Bindings where so good and they are way better than the crappy px series that we have today. They are more durable, lighter and IMO safer than the px series. I know that they have already brought back the fks stlye heel, so do you think they will ever bring back the axial style?

fucking love these bindings.

same mount pattern as the fks (smaller than px) which means less dead space on the ski. light as fuck. i found a pair of these in 120's (12 din) for $30 at a ski swap.

also, the brake system works better on these than fks. they dont just turn up they pull in a bit as well.

They got rid of them because of the heel wobble. I loved mine when I had them, do agree that they are better than the current px.

dont forget that the brakes come off seperate from binding even if mounted so it is easy to swap on bigger ones or bend if you have to. plus they had a decent ammount of adjustability. i agree they should bring these back as well.

thats why you drill extra holes in the metal piece for the heel.
