Ok, I was warned not to get the Reactor 2 binding. I just received my Chronics today and the binding weighs more than the ski. The 157 chronic is 1484 grams and the Reactor 12 binding is 1764 grams... each. So I was hoping that after I get yelled at someone can tell me the weight of the other bindings out there. Like the Look, Rossi, and Salomon. I am hoping to find a binding that weighs around 1200 grams.

I called Rossi, but they did not know the weight. I did find out the Salomon 912ti is 990 grams.

dont say anything until you ski the reactors. they feel like nothing when your skiing them because all the weight is right under your foot.

since when is weight an issue? the bidings are right where your foot is, so theres no swing weight.

binding weight doesnt really matter unless you are super weak. i have demo bindings which weigh a ton but when i have my skis on i cant feel the weight at all.

I understand the swing weight. I was more concerned with the extra weight when ollie'ing or just getting air in the pipe. My 1080's weight 4 lbs each with the bindings and my Pocket Rockets weight 5bs with the bindings. Of course both of those are using the Salomon Ti's. The chronics are 7.25lbs with the R12's. To me it sounded like a big difference.

when your reactors explode, get look p12s or rossi 100s or 140s. they are much more durable, and weigh about 2/3 of the weight of the reactor

the above may contain: opinion, religion, stupidity, brilliance, laughter, sick, or dumb luck, take it as such.

skier150...you are a dumb shit. you buy reactors but order p12s as backup?? for 1 you are a rich fucker. secondly, why would you need backups. if you break the reactors its called a warranty dipshit, USE IT

Yeah, it's called a job... lets me buy all kinds of cool stuff. I got the Reactors because I got a good deal. I figured if I hated them I could just unscrew them and sell them on Ebay for more than I paid. I also got a killer deal on the P12's, that if I do not use I can sell on Ebay for twice the price. If I break the Reactor I will get it warranteed and then immediately sell it. I also get ProForm, so I pay loke half price for most of my equiptemt.

I ski mad trix with tyrolia bindings.
Possibly the heaviest setup there is.
Unless I were to get the mad trix plate...

I am not selling them yet. I was only on them for a couple of hours yesterday and did not really get into the park yet. They are definately pretty tech though. I was also told by Line and a few dealers that the Reactors that were blowing up were from the first manufacturing run. I was told that mine are not from that run and should be OK... of course they could be full of shit too.

i like my reactors on chronics. granted i have the old, indestructible ones from 2 years ago, but still......

reactors weigh in about 1750-1800 grams apiece. salomon s912ti's are roughly 900 per ski. (this is the one binding, not the full pair)

reactors suck a$$ dont get them. My first pair i ripped the break off and the binding would move to diffrent sizes so i ended up missing half a day at mt. snow. My second pair of reactors got 3 runs through el diablo at mount snow and the heel piece broke completly off my ski. GET LOOK P10 or P12's there way better and cheaper!

I tried to butter off my tips on the flat this morning and ejected out of my left binding. I hope this is not going to be a familiar scenario.

you should raise your DIN on the line bindings 2 more than what the line DIN chart says.

^dude that is definitely going to be a familiar scenario. i seriously feel sorry for ANYONE who boucht reactors. i will never put a pair of those on my feet again. i used a pair for ONE day and they were the shittiest, least trustworthy pair of bindings i have ever used. get rid of those things asap
