Head MOJO 15 VS Look 2015 SPX 12. Which ones?

I've got 4frnt Deadbolt 18's and Attack 16's and I don't think I'll ever use anything else. Consistent release and super burly. You can also usually find them super cheap.

The deadbolt and the MOJO are the same binding arent they?

4frnt Deadbolt, Head Mojo, Tyrolia Peak, and Fischer ?? are all the same (although I think the Fischer's use a different DIN number, but same design)

no im pretty sure mojos are different but as for the others tyrolia make binding so for a ton of different companies like fischer, and liberty

All the 15 and 17/18 bindings are the same construction, just different springs.

The 14 DIN amd lower bindings from those companies are the same as well.

To start I have a bit of a bias towards head/tyrolia. Realistically either would be a solid choice if the difference in din isn't a factor for you. Both have pros and cons but I would have no regrets riding either.

I will say that I like the rossi/ look toe better than the one on the mojo. But that might just be my experience, I find that the looks can run a slightly lower din because of the elasticity.

The brakes on the mojo will screw directly into the ski, so if you have to replace one it will involve a shop- especially if you don't know what you are doing. With that said their brakes are stronger than the looks and I've never had to replace a pair, where I've had to replace multiple on looks. I would say that the mojo is all around a bit more burly than the spx.

I run a pair of Deadbolt 15's and a pair of Pivot 14's.

I love the DB 15's to death, they are super burly, the plastic parts are especially durable for plastic, and the sound they make when you click in is absolutely orgasmic. They do what bindings need to do, but somehow they just seem to do it so well. I am trying to find another pair and I'm super bummed they are discontinued and I'm too small to get the 18 din models that they still make, which even so are still kinda hard to find, and they are usually expensive as fuck.

I know you aren't asking about the Pivot 14's, but since they are so often recommended on here I like to use them as a comparison. I run these bindings on my floppy park skis and I think, even if it is a placebo, the super short mounting pattern does make a difference. And they just have a certain feel to them when you are pressing around with them that is very confidence inspiring, most claim that this is because of the heel design. However the pivot is a very old design, very, very old, kind of like how the Full Tilt/Raichle Flexon boots have aged. It is a good design, but you have to kind of wonder why nothing new has been tried when all the other designs have been updated. One of the biggest downfalls of the Pivot's are their absolute need for your heel to be totally devoid of snow or they are quite hard to get on, and they are kind of awkward to knock your boots against to get snow off in the first place. And finally when comparing the durability to the Deadbolt 15, the toe is absolutely atrocious, I know a few too many people who have had them explode. The Pivot 18 is a much more durable construction, but there are a lot of us who cant justify the higher din range.

All in all after the bullshit that I have just spewed, bindings really all do the same thing (for the most part) and are completely standardized in the most important factor, which is release values. The only differences are price, construction, and feel to a minute extent. Everyone has their own opinion on what bindings are best and you will get so many different answers from different skiers. The best bet is to try a few different pairs and find what you like best, and you will probably find that you stick with what you like for a long time as a skier.

tl;dr Deadbolt/peak/mojo 15 for lyfe

Levelnine sports has GTO 15s and MOJO 15s for under $150.

I had the deadbolts two years ago, and I sent them back. Yeah, they were burly and all, but they were way too heavy.

Mojo 15's are 2280g (5lbs) per pair.
Mojo 18's are 2426 (5.35lbs) per pair

FKS 14's are 2194g (4.84lb) per pair.
FKS 18's are 2460g (5.42lbs) per pair

What did you replace them with? Essentially they are pretty much the same weight.

Salomon Z10s (I know I know, awful binding). I had run out of money, and my season was about to start, and I got them for like 30 dollars.
They held up suprisingly well. They are now my summer setup bindings. I'm on look pivot 14s now

Ahhh... Fair enough.
