there is no difference, except the DIN (p12 jibs are 12, Rossi 100s are 10... of course)

the DIN is the tension setting that you can set the boot to. Look, for example, has P10s, P12s & P14s (as well as P12 jibs). The number at the end is just how high you can set the tension on your binding. You could probably use the Rossi 100s (din 10) and not worry about it.

Its gonna fit your boot, when you get them mounted you just get them mounted to the solelength of your boot, the only bindings that wouldnt fit would be a junior binding because they account for a smaller stubby thing on the heel and toe.

And the difference between them is the rossi power series has a lifter/little rubber thing under the heelpiece and a skinnier brake. The jibs/scratch series bindings are comparable.

If you're gonna put your din higher than 8, I'd recommend the Jibs. I have mine at 8 and went for the Jib since it's a little safer to have your din around the middle, versus cranked right near the max.

ive got reactors on my chronics... yeah def. heavy as fuck, but its underfoot so...
go with the jibs. as someone said before its better to have a din in the middle than maxed out
Over 2500 left handed people a year are killed from using products made for right handed people.

figure out what din you'll be riding and choose the one of the bindings from the following list:

Rossi Axial 100, Look P10s, Rossi Scratch 100s (All din 10)

Rossi Axial 120, Look P12s, Look P12 jibs (All din 12)

Rossi Axial 140, Look p14s, Rossi Scratch 140s (all din 14)

There is NO difference between theses bindings. They are all manufactured by Look, with different paint. Brakes are interchangable, so you can get any of these bindings with any brake size.

If you ride at din 7 or lower, get a 10 din binding.
If you ride between 8-10, get a 12 din.
If you ride 11-12, get a 14 din. I'm sure you don't need any higher.

So figure out your din and get the appropriate binding.
