All bindings somewhat restrict the flex of a ski, but the griffon is no different than any other binding, now AT bindings can be a little different.whatever you do get rid of the demo bindings and use you p 18s

Both the p18s and griffons are going to restrict flex. The only way to avoid the flex issue is to slap some griptape on the top of your skis and throw your bindings in the dumpster. Remember though, most resorts will require a leash if you are riding grip tape.

not enough for your skiing ability to notice.

If i recall, marker demo plates are actually not as bad (aka thick) as others (salomon). Dont even bother with a remount.

and you can just ignore the BSL markings and move the binding forward or back on the rails to do center or traditional.

Demo griffons will restrict the flex a little bit more than regular griffons. Demos have a longer mounting track. still its probably negligible, and it definitely wont make you a worse skier.

yeah with the demos you can sort of treat them like a schizo
