Replacing demo bindings on Armadas

Demo plates are for a different hole pattern, you would need to redrill. If youre fine with the way it looks keep em, but they also will ski better if you get the 12 or 14 as you are lower to the ski.

They look pretty low key. I'd ski them for a bit and see if you have any issues? It's not a big deal to swap even with a different hole pattern but unless you have extra bindings laying around it would make sense to give the Strive demos a shot?

If the ski is pretty new it's probably worth swapping bindings but if the ski is halfway dead already just ride out the demo bindings

Strive Demos are the same stack height as the retail counterparts.

I would say yes. It's low-key gonna look off with all the drilling, as everyone's told, but it'll still be functional. The demos, if I remember correctly, had a lot more holes, so it was tricky to find a good spot for the new bindings. It was so worth it though. Main reason for me was the demos would randomly eject when hitting the park hard, especially when swapping and stuff on rails. spins on or off, forget about it. Also had those dins high. imo depending on what ur riding, demos are just not as capable when compared to a dedicated binding

What demos are you referring to? Strives? Most only have four holes for the front track and four on the rear, the patterns are different and the toe usually has a much bigger spread in the pattern than the non-demo version of same binding.

They were one of Elan's Elx demo bindings. But not strides correct. And yeah, you could be totally right, and I am misremembering. I just thought they didn't have consistent ejections when compared to a different binding at the same din :)
