Look PX 12 Ti Jib Wide Ski Binding

Item #DYN0219 | 0 in Stock

This is a two part question.1) I'm thinking of buying some...

By Ranked #399 - Alpine Ski Bindings March 6, 2009

This is a two part question.1) I'm thinking of buying some K2 Hellbent's and I'm wondering if this binding would be a good choice. I'm an advanced/expert level skier and I ski all over the mountain. From chutes to cliffs to bumps, you name it, I ski it. The Hellbent's would be my powder-only skis for the deep days.2) Since I'm looking at some super-fat boards, I'm gonna need some super-fat brakes. I've looked at the wide brake selections and it feels like the ones that would fit (125+) might only work with Marker Bindings. Any thoughts/suggestions?

The best choice bindings for this ski would be the Marker Jester or Griffon with a 132mm brake, sold separately, (this is the binding K2 suggests) or the Rossignol Axial2 Freeride 200 wide XXL (120 mm brake). The Rossignol SAS2 150 Wide is also a good choice but you would have to purchase a 120mm brake separately to fit your skis. You could also buy a the Rossignol Axial2 140 Ti Pro XXL (even though it says the brake is 140mm I'm pretty sure it's only 120mm but check with a Backcountry gear expert and they may be able to tell you for sure). The Rossignol Axial2 140 Ti Pro XXL is basically the same as the Look PX 12 Ti Jib Wide binding but with a higher din or 14 and it comes with a wider brake that will come close to fitting over the waist of a pair of Hellbents if not you can make up the rest by bending the brakes out a little bit. I ride a pair of Line EP Pros mounted with Marker Jesters.
