^hahahaha n00b... ^reactors are bindings

line put a shitoad of money into the r&d of the binding so that probably has something to do with the price.

yeah, i dont know why they cost so much, but when i bought mine the dude took like 115 bucks off the price. also they are a very well built binding and have a lot of realy sweet feauters involved with them.

novelty of a knee saving ejection system- ya, your knees don't matter. Anything to help them from tearing apart, putting you out for an entire season, and costing 20 grand in surgery is just a fad.

Skier Bum you are a fuckin moron. Paying for the name? Novelty of saving your knees. Do you have any idea about how they work, what they do, anything like that? Have u even seen them in person? Doubt it.

I am waiting for a price drop and eight holes rather than four for two possible mounting positions on the freedom plate as well as the actual line board. I do think I am done buying look pivot now though. Next will be reactor 12 freedom plate wide brake and hopefully that will be the last pair ever. Hopefully line is dope with warranty's because I seem to professionally break shit.

I don't think they'd bring out an unsafe binding after spending os much time on it. The only thing I don't like about them is the height of lift off the ski you get with the system.

Im gonna give it 2 years before i buy a pair to see what people say...because the brake that sits behind the heel-piece will prolly break off and they sit too high..but other than that im impressed and hope its a dope binding

haha... as heavy as the madtrix binding!?? !? !

idiot. they aren't even close. I have reactors... had the MT system... not even close.
The reactors are like 2 oz heavier than p12's.

and as for price... can you put a price ona knee injury??? hmm... I guess. thousands of dollars for acl replacement....orrr $299 for r12's. thats a toughy now isn't it.

guys - here you are arguing about the safety of the binding. that's what bindings are for, to release you before you mess up your knee. it's not the twisting motion in a twisting fall thát hurts your knee - it's when the binding does not release. when the built-up pressure from a twisting fall does not release within a very short distance, something has to give since the binding isn't, and it's your knee that ends up giving. so, look at the technology a binding has to let you release CONSISTANTLY IN REAL WORLD CONDITIONS - not just in the shop. certain well known french bindings (and a new vermot binding)have no rear-ward release, and those same bindings rely on friction for boot movement in a twisting fall. any time friction is relied upon, how are guaranteed consistant release? all you need is a rock, some ice or other foreign material between your boot and the binding and the actual release point will be much higher. so, go to a local dealer, and ask them about this. there is a certain german designed binding that has a full mechanical twisting release the toe of the boot initiates movement of a frictionless part of the toe - which moves with the boot sideways and outward) in the toe, and rearward release as well. technically, they are the safest binding in real-world release situations. ask them to show you how the different bindings move to let your boot relase. as a throw-in, the german binding company makes a their 'Free' bindings with a rubber stomp pad between the binding and ski to dissipate the shock of flat landing a huge air, just like in the freeride specific boots. no else has that in their binding...just some real technical facts and considerations...

this is the LAST FUCKIKNG TIME I'M POSTING THIS. the reactors are good. i've been riding them hard for two seasons. they have held together very well, haven't blown up, have released me when they need to, and haven't spit me out when they're not supposed to.

goodnight seattle, we love you.
