ok so here's the story I've got a pair of on3p filthy riches with marker griffons on em. The combined weight of the two is 11.916 pounds (skis - 7.758 lbs. bindings - 4.158 lbs. or 1890 grams for both) my other pair of skis are moment vices with rossignol fks 140's the combined weight of them is 12.202 lbs. ( skis - 7.45 lbs bindings- 4.752 pounds or 2160 grams) this dosent make sense to me because the vices feel so much lighter. Did I do my math wrong? I got the information from both official websites, marker specified that the griffons weighed 1890 grams for the set. Rossignol just said 1080 grams but did not specify that it was a set, is that how much both weigh? Cause that dosent seem right either. Im asking cause I'm purchasing a pair of surface outsiders for park and I want to try to get lighter bindings at the skis themselves weigh 8.8 pounds. So my question is what weighs less fks or griffons

there is no doubt that the fks are more of a heavier binding but honestly its probably the only binding i will ever ride. Its so stable and i trust it to release when i need it too and i really like the turn table because it can help save your acl. So to be honest if its a little heavier i would just go with it anyways because its one of the best bindings on the market. But if you think your math is incorrect try to find like a scale somewhere in your house and just plop your skis and binding on their and if it reads relatively close to your math then you were correct, if not, then your math is off. Either way i would just trust a scale over math. Hope that helps

9/10 that you don't own the fks, you've been commenting in every thread about your volkl ledge and marker squire schizos...

Anyway, op:
Marker Jester................ - 1000 g (2.20 lbs)
Look P14/Rossi FKS140............ - 1050 g (2.32 lbs)

no i havent been lol, you have the wrong guy. i own volkl kinks and rossi fks 140s. I wouldnt buy markers if it killed me. I feel like a lot of pros that ride for marker tear their acls which may not be true but im paranoid about acl tears which is ironic because i ski but i will never buy markers. maybe you have just as much of a chance to tear your acl on rossis but atleast the turn tables help somewhat to prevent that i guess. but make sure you have the right person before you call someone out.

thats just really weird cause my vices and fks seem so much lighter like on rails switchups are so much easier than with my filthy's. could this be cause the filthy's are wider maybe cause thats all i can really think of, could this be because of swing weight? Not really sure what that term means but I'm just guessing, i say this because when i throw spins with my filthy's the tips and tails seem heavier, maybe I'm just noticing the lightness of the vice because its heavier underfoot and not the tip and tail? i really don't know and maybe I'm off with the swing weight term or I'm using it the wrong way but its really hard to explain
