912ti's lighter, but they're pieces of shit. heavier bindings aren't a bad thing, usually means they're tougher cuz they have more metal in them instead of plastic. plus, i broke the titanium part of the heel piece on my 912ti's twice this past year...

would hold up to about maybe two park runs, not ot mention being way too low of a din setting. heck, it probably has a plastic spring
when i was 2 my parents put me on a pair of sticks.....i have been running wild ever since.

the enron enthusiast is partly right.

s912's are lightest i'd say
line reactor's are maj heavy

light weight and abuse lead to broken bindings, usually.

maybe you do get laid more, but last time i checked, just about any girl will walk away from you when you say, hey we should go out, i have light bindings!

it's all a joke

^ if that is the case, how come my lines broke, probably the heaviest binder on the market?

binding destruction count: 2 so far this season, one pair of lines and one pair of rossis: what will be next?

just duct tape your skis to your feet, that will eliminate the extra weight of bindings.

i heard the rossi axium bindings were the lightest on the market but it's cause they're shitty things for beginners. these bindings wouldn't be able to hold the majority of the skiers on this site. but if that's what your truly looking for then go right ahead

i don't know why guddulf's line bindings broke, and yeah they are heavy. where his broke though is not one of the areas that makes that binding heavy.

the point i am trying to make is that if you are abusing equipment and puttig it through types of use that it maybe really wasn't intended for, it's usually a good idea to get something that has proven itself to be durable. i'm not saying everyone here abuses their equipment, but it's clear that bindings weren't designed to be skied switch (or at least not most of them) and the brakes don't work right, etc.

most of the titanium used in the ski bindings is not a super strong ti mix and it does not hold up. it would be better to buy a full steel binding or something of the sort.

for all the mountain bikers here, we all remember what happened when the freeride bikes were just coming out and everyone was using light parts and breaking them all the time. then, heavy duty parts started to become available. they aren't the lightest, but you know that you can trust them not to break on you.
