Is there a difference in the design between the 04' Rossi fks/look p18, compared to the 05'rossi fks/look p18. Looking to buy a pair and wondering if the price difference is worth it.

Why the fuck would you get p18's, you better be a racer or seth. Or you just lke to waste money.

^^^Why don't you think before asking a stupid question. Why not get a nice binding. I'm 210 lbs, and want something that would last a long time. Not some plastic shit that busts from under my feat. The 04 model is going for 220, while the new p12 goes for 250 And the p18/fks mount directly to the ski.

where can you get the looks i can only find the rossis and would prefer looks because of color and they are generally a lil cheaper

Actually i cant suggest that you get the p18 fks, I've had the Zrace bidnings, which have the same heel piece--if im wrong disregard this comment. But anyways the two bars that hold the heal piece breaks pretty easly, if you ski hard. Also there are some crucial pieces that are made of plastic which can break easly. I've broken mine 3 times, luckily the first two times my friend welded back on, the third i wasnt so lucky and a crucial plastic piece broke.
Im sure there awsome for racing but i mean they werent built for freestyle, why do you think they only sell them to racers, because there built for racing. Go get some p12's or jibs.

i've had the FKS 185 and i had not the greatest luck with it.. for one, the breaks that come are really narrow. they can be easily bent but its still kinda inconveniant cuz fr me they would catch and bend and all sorts of shit. Also, the 2 posts that hold the heal piece would always loosen up on me anbd i would have to adjust them and the forward oressure and stuff. none theyu less, they are pretty indestructable besides the breaks. which sicks because to put new brakes on them, you have to completely remove the binding from the ski. I still have to say p12 or p14 all the way though

im shure p14s would work fine. itd be cheaper. and you really dont want a binging diretly on the ski, because, like staked if you break a break, or need fat ones, your screwed. they are PLENTY indestructable. ive never broken anything on 3 pairs of mine, just the slider peice on an old mode, and that has been redesigned.

Yeah like Bigpurplebev said the thing that holds the heal foward comes under the plate sometimes when you fall, and its a big inconvenince to reset it again.
Like i said before there RACE bindings, and as such they are built specificly for it. Trust me you will have better luck with p12s or jibs or whatever.
Also pros can ride them cuz if they break they get new ones, as well as new skis.
