Radical ST vs Radical FT. I am finalizing a BC setup with BD Verdicts 190 and Garmont Axons. I am 6'5" 215 lbs 44 yo advanced skiier. I do not huck but like steep challenging slopes. I currently ski a Marker Duke on a DIN of 10 and have never pre released. Is the DIN of 12 overkill on a BC binding? Can I get by on the Radical ST DIN of 10?

It's definitely not overkill. 12 din is what recreational/intermediate alpine bindings max out at. If you're setting your din at 10, the FT would be the better choice. Even though bindings are designed to work properly throughout the entire din range, you're always better off not maxing it out if you don't have to. If you were smaller/lighter, I would say go with the ST you'll be fine. But you're not, and you'd be better off, and probably feel more comfortable on the FT.
