whats up NS, was curious if anybody would be willing to review or just simply let me know what they personally think of STH bindings, considering buying some here soon🤝
thanks

shin-bangSolid, but only one complaint.
Great adjustability (Better than pivots)
great features(dampening system)
Awesome feel
great elasticity
easily replaceable brakes.
cons:
All pairs of my sths have destroyed my heel lugs.
JupitahJoshsecond only to pivots imo. The toe piece has the best feel of any binding, super easy to click into pow, and the sth2 breaks are coated in a bunch of rubber which seems to help against bending. However, they have a pretty big dead spot feeling on the tail of the ski, and every pair I've had has developed rattle in the heel after a season and a half of hard use. slopestyle has them for stupid cheap as well which is sick. Its a great binding for pow skis, but for park the low swing weight and durability of a pivot is just unbeatable.
fghtoffyrdmnsi love mine, i actually prefer sth 16s to pivots....
beenjammin669_How long did it take for them to get fucked up? Was it like instant
ericformanIf you find yourself needing to step into your binding in exposed pow frequently the sth is great. Else just get pivots as it’s preferable for everything else except bsl adjustment.
beenjammin669_Good to know, those are my two options right now, STH’s and pivots. I’m putting them on some vishnu wides, so they’re gonna be in the park more than pow but will definitely see some powder. I found pivots on level 9 for 197 which is only like 40 more than STH’s so that might be where i end up going
JupitahJoshYou really cant go wrong at a certain point. For me it came down to the feel. I love the wide driver toe, but the overall footprint of the binding just felt clunky to me, especially in the tail. If you can find a deal on metal toe pivots go with those, more weight sure, but you don't feel it when your clicked in and you wont need to buy a new binding for many years. I'm currently rocking the same FKS (pivot) 18s i bought used 8 years ago. The grit just dont quit.
BigPurpleSkiSuitAre you guys not freaked out by the lateral release on the STH16s? I just got magic Js with them on there and when I went to do my usual binding test, I was like wait what??? When the whole toepiece spun

.nastyI love the pivot for all the reasons we all know and love, and I used them on all my more freestyle skis. I will say though I go with the STH2 mostly on my more hard charging skis as the amount of power transfer that comes from that binding is truly unmatched. It just has that burly feel you can't really find elsewhere, I miss the old steel 16's...
