I know binding questions are annoying.. but I can't decide

I'm trying to decide between:


Marker Griffon
Marker Squire
Rossignol Axial2 120XXL
Tyrolia AAAttack 13


I'm looking for a lightweight binding for my Line Pandora skis at 110mm. All these bindings have DINs I can work with. I am partial to the design of the Griffon, but it is also not the lightest.


Thank you!

I hate rehashing old questions but I am also terrible at making decisions without as much research as possible.

if they are this years or next years griffons, just get those. They are going to have the best tech for pow skis, plus you have a bias toward them. Just ease your mind and get the griffons. I don't even like marker and cant deny the difference in performance for wide skis here.

Rode a demo Ski with the attacks and loved them for a 13 din binding. Not a fan of jesters and griffins due to the entry in pow and the forward prssure always feels way too tight when adjusted properly.

Go with the attack 13 of those choices. The attack is a great binding and can usually be found at a great price too.

What about the Rossi FKS 120?

They are super lightweight.

The funny thing about the Marker's is I've heard people loving it and I've heard people hating on it. I just need a good binding for pow. The Griffins ARE wider, and the toe height adjustable. I've heard about problems of getting into them in deep pow and then other people saying its a breeze. 1/5 being negative.

Prices aren't an issue. I just want good, reliable bindings.

I'm fairly lightweight and I don't want to hinder the flex of the skis.



Thanks all you lovely people for your input!

Well if price is not an issue go for the sth2 13. I presumed they would have been too much as you left them off the list.

Fks' are rock solid, don't have any complaints other than that they're not ideal for hiking rails due to the rotating heel
