I'm riding a pair a pair of last years liberty antigens (with full tilt booters if you care) and I'm looking at buying rossignol axial 120s. Every pair of bindings I buy I either end up breaking or they don't work well in bad conditions. Anyone have any input on whether or not these bindings will work well for my price point ($100-120)?

Had them a few years a go i thought they were eh but i guess good for that price range... Might be worth it just to spend the extra $$ tho

I just got mine at the beginning of the season and love them.

To really know if they would be good for you then we need height, weight, age, skier type, what you ski, and what din you ride

I found the biggest problem with Axial2s is the breaks. I've had more problems with destroying Axial breaks than FKS breaks. Otherwise they are a ok binding for the price.

Axial breaks don't break if you get them in the right width. I had a pair last year and they are fantastic bindings. Same toe as fks and the heel just doesn't release sideways. I am running axial2 WC 140's on a pair of race skis and griffons on my park skis, and the axials feel way better and are more consistent.

You aren't snapping the breaks because you aren't landing switch with race skis. It doesn't matter if the brakes are the right width, if you eat shit landing switch with Axials the brakes will break. The break arms have never broken on me, it always snaps at the exact same spot in the housing where the plastic is very thin. I can post pics of why and where they break if you want.
