ok, so i know alot of people hate the reactors, and alot of people love em. but really, what makes this binding any better? all ive heard is it breaks real easy and is quite expenisive, doesnt sound worth it at all. and even if they were durable, why would i pay more for these than pivots or something else? i guess the whole, switch em around between 10000 skis is kinda cool, but not worth that much more to me as i only have 2 pairs of skis.

Apparently they're safer for awkward falls.
I don't know.
There's a video on the site about it.

having a line tag on your bindings means your so much cooler and not a freestyle sell out like those punks who ride atomic twins

i believe it grows off of the look pivot idea, and the freedom plate is a huge part of it...i think its really geared toward the agressive freeskier, even though the durability has yet to prove it so far.

i just dont see anything that would convince me to spend more cash on a binding that doesnt do anything better than my pivots, even if it was durable

Once the kinks are worked out, it'll be a good bindings.
Look didn't invent the Pivot series first year out.
Salomon didn't invent the S912Ti first year out.
Let them grow with it.

It also has a lot to do with landing switch, they release at toe and heel unlike most bindings which just release toe. Toe and heel will saves tons of knees on switch landings
