Arv 96 binding help

Yes they will be fine. How much park do you plan on riding?

60% park 40% all mountain

mount at recommended

Thanks and also I’m 6”3 160lbs should I get the 184s

GarrettHanleyThanks and also I’m 6”3 160lbs should I get the 184s

yeah, that's the longest length they come in right?

Yes and the next size down would be 177

yeah def 184 then

The Griffins are decent bindings but most would agree the Tyrolia Attack 13 is a nicer binding with lower stack height, better retention and they are easier to get in and out of. Best of all you can get last years model of them for $129.99 from places like ASOgear.com in the 95mm brake(actually 97mm) width which is perfect for that ski.

The only ARV that could be mounted center without fighting sidecuts/tip tail tapers would be the more symmetrical ARV86. The ARV 96 and 106 need to be set back at least 2cm or more back from center due to their more directional sidecuts and larger tip/tail taper. They won't be as stable for carving out of the park more forward than that.
For your use, you should be in the 2 to 2.5cm back from center range on the ARV 96. All-mountain mark is in the 5cm back on those skis and 2.5cm back is the 50/50 all mountain/park mounting line as recommended by Armada who makes/designs the ski. It's 6cm back , 3.5 cm back for those settings on the ARV106.

Quote from Roofbox review from this site on the ARV 106 who normally rides center mounted skis in the park.

"For reference, I mounted my own pair significantly further forward than recommended which is at -6.5 (with a secondary recommended point at -3.5). I’ve tried a few different mounts and concluded -2cm is my favourite. I probably wouldn’t go all the way to true centre myself, because of the sidecut setback but at -2cm they they still carve well. If you’re used to a centre mounted non-symmetrical park ski, the feeling of the ski at -2 is comfortingly familiar. Further forward than that and you do start to notice you are fighting the sidecut, further back and you lose the sense of balanced weight which I can't live without in the air."

Thank you both so much really helps out

Hey y'all

Hope you coping well with confinement and most importantly with unfortunate early season close this year.
First post here. Lemme introduce myself. Well experienced skier, new to proper freestyle tho. 26yo,184cm, 80kg (6"1', 176lbs) currently based Birmingham, UK. Been skiing for last 15 years (mainly Italian/French Alps) on heavy&stiff race Salomon 24h (170cm, DIN 9). Amazing for going wild on hard snow, completely unusable in park which I was visiting now and then.

Now,I've got similar query as in the topic.

Given the amounts of time now and good price period, decided to get myself some twin tips as a second pair to play a bit. I enjoy jumps waaay more than jibs but I'm as far as grab and 180 so absolute beginner in park. Following the forum advice the choice landed on ARV 96 (guess no objections here?).

Now's the binding choice time and I wouldn't hesitate and go straight for ATTACK² 13 with 95mm break. Looking at this year's reviews though I see the Griffon 13 IDs (100mm break in this setup) are quite hyped and looking at specs they almost twice (!) lighter (even if mounted a bit higher).

What you guys think? Pricing is same.

P.S. Marker Jester 16 ID got some good opinions too but I guess that'd be a overshoot for me?

ARV 96 is a great choice. Super good do-it-all park/resort ski

The attacks are great bindings for a great price. Personally I’m not a fan of markers, plenty of people will disagree and they’re fine bindings, but I say go with the attacks, they’re really popular because they’re really solid, light, and have a really low stack height (height above the ski). And yes the 95 brake of course

I agree for the most part with bindings, but if your skiing mostly park center mount on arv96 is perfect
