Hello everyone I just bought the Rossignol scimitar ski and needed some advice on what would be the best binding for around $200-$300. I am an intermediate to advanced skier and I'm 5'9" 160lbs. Do mostly all mountain skiing but some park. I have been looking at the Look pivot 14. thanks guys

Is my weight to light for that binding or does that not really matter.

The 14 means a max DIN of 14, but it goes down to 5. You can still set it super low, it'll just be way stronger that it needs to be, but that should translate to lasting longer.

the Ski under foot waist is 100mm. Do you think a 115 Brake width going to be to wide?

if you have the cash go with fks/pivot. you can always take them to next pair when your rossi retires. by then you would be taller/heavier/skis more aggresively to use the higher DINs.

rossis site says the 90 brake is for 80-95, and the 115 brake fits 100-117.

you should be fine with the 115.
