there should be a screw somewhere on the toepiece that will adjust the hieght. make it so that when you put your boot into the binding (on a table or something, not while your standing on it), there is just enough room between the sole of your boot and the top of the binding where the ball of your foot would be to slide a single piece of paper through.

Yeah these would be a great choice...unless you want a DIN of 16 then go with the Marker Jesters.

This comes down to a question of weight, strength and skill. If you are over 175lbs and push hard, then by all means choose the Jester. If you are lighter, and are a "subltle" skier, then the Griffon works just fine. At 6'1", 180 I ski the Jester. My wife, at 5'7" 115 lb does just fine on the Griffon. Another factor is how much you bang around equipment, traveling or otherwise, if that is a concern, go with the Jester. That said, I have yet to see a smashed up Griffon. I doubt you can go wrong with either, and I hope this answer does not just confuse the matter!!

The le comptes are 80mm underfoot right? So then you need the 90mm breaks.

Depends on what DIN you ride. Pros, very large men, and people overcompensating on their DIN ride the Jesters. Due to you being over 6' and 236lbs you could certainly qualify as a large man. You may be towards the higher end of the 12 maximum but depending on what type of rider you are you may be fine. It really just depends on your DIN. Durability has never been an issue for me and I own 3 pairs of Griffons, in fact the only pair of Marker royal family bindings I've ever seen break were a pair of Dukes (the 16 DIN AT version).

It really depends on how hard you charge...you might wanna go with the jesters so that you can have a DIN of 16 but they are practically the same as the griffons except more metal and a higher din.

The 110s might be a bit big and might actually touch the snow when carving. If you're going to ride switch they might even hook. You're better off adjusting the 90mm ones with some plyers.

yeah the din of 12 should be fine. I im about 6'2 and 180 and i have my din at 10. okay im not the biggest park ripper in the world. I still get pretty scared about jumps that are over 30 feet. But I have never had this binding release prematurely. Highly recommend it and the other guy is right...your knees will thank you, plus you want your skis to pop off if you slam hard.

YES. the people who think that they need 18 din are compensating. your knees will thank you later.

If you never set your DIN over 12, then they are some of the best out there. IF you run at about 12, it is recommended that you go for the Jesters, since you shouldn't have your DIN set at the full extent of the binding.

132mm is the biggest brake I've seen out there

You have to buy the 130mm brakes that marker sells. I think they are about $50...yeah I know, complete rip off. Some stores sell the binding with the 130mm brake already on so look around cause then you dont have to pay the 50 bucks. Have fun on the bents...they are sick skis. I got a pair this summer and cant wait to use them.

You can definitely get wide enough brakes- I have these on a pair of EP Pros, 127mm under foot.

I am pretty sure that you can find some brakes that fit up to 130mm, but you would have to order them separate, and that means paying extra.

Great price...doubt these bindings will ever be on tramdock...maybe in the middle of summer. but not in the next few months

Very Unlikely since tramdock is usually just overstocked/discontinued items and Backcountry will almost certainly sell out of these bindings.

At $229 this is an awesome binding, especially if you don't need to push your din's past 12 (not many people do).

The Griffon is a better park and all mountain binding in my opinion, I know some guys that have some problems with the Rossi stuff, and some people straight up love it. The Griffons have a low swing weight, and are super grippy, so you don't have to worry about premature ejection, but still drop you if need be. Mostly the difference is in weight, and DIN. Griffon is 12, SAS 140 is 14.

They can be bought with a 130 brake, this should be wide enough to fit the Kuro (might require bending - this is easy); however, im not sure if Backcountry sells them with the 130 brake (brakes can be bought separately and attached to the binding)
