Rossi Axial2 or Griffon Schizo?

Im sure the Schizos are better, but they're also $100 more. the biggest jumps I'll be hitting are 45- 50 foot jumps and I weigh 155 pounds. i heard about problems with axial2's but don't know if I would encounter these problems considering I don't storm the jump lines with anything bigger than a 360 and occasional flip. so my question is, will it be worth the extra $100 in the long run? or will I be fine with the axial2's?

are you going to need to move your mounting point? It sounds like you only ski park so the schizos would be a waste. id get the rossis. Ive used px12s and px15s for a while and never had any problems. I also used regular griffons and never had any problems. I still like the rossis more though

The Rossignol Axial2 120/Look PX 12 are an absolutely bomber 12DIN binding, probably my favorite on the market. Check out my review of them here: -http://aslansskiblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/rossignol-axial2-120-ski-binding-review.html

axial2 are really good. They are essentially fks but with a different heel.

My exact thought, but the schizo's are on the outlet for pretty cheap, which is why I was considering them over just the normal jesters

The Axial2 120 features the same toe piece as the FKS140, however the heel pieces are different. The Axial2 120 features the Full Drive toe and PX heel, whilst the FKS140 features the Full Drive toe but with the Pivot heel instead. In case your wondering the FKS180 features the Race toe and Pivot heel.

If you can afford the fks 140's, its worth it, they'll last forever. But otherwise, the px12's are a great binding for the price.

Im pretty set on getting the axial2's but one last question that i can't find an answer for anywhere, how is the weight of the axial2's vs. other bindings? I've heard they're on the heavy side

schitzo's are pretty much pointless imo. Nobody should need to move around their mount point constantly. Axial2's are a great binding.
