Hi! I'm looking for a binding to put on my black crows atris 189cm. I'm a advanced to expert Skier and 6,3ft. Since I'm looking for a two Ski quiver, I am recently thinking about getting a marker schizo. Other binding I favor are: look pivot 14, marker griffon, marker baron.
Have you any experience or advice for me? Sorry for my Englisch, I am from Austria.

Don't get them, they will break and the adjustment isn't that useful

Get the pivots and mount them -2 or -3 from center on the skis. Pivots are bitchin' and mounting near center makes the ski more versatile, especially if you like riding switch and throwing spins (or plan on learning these things).

Mount them at recommended, not near center.

If you want a binding that will let you adjust the mounting postition easily on the ski (depending on conditions, or to find where you prefer), get Tyrolia/Head Aaattack 13 demo bindings. They are very durable, have great performance (very similar to the normal Attack 13), and are not too heavy.

Otherwise for your size, Salomon/Atomic STH2 16 would be great, Tyrolia Aaattack 16, possibly Look Pivot 18 depending on what DIN you use.

Look pivot is a tried and true design that has been perfected since it's inception over 25 years ago. The Pivot's roots are with racing where lots of R&D time and money was spent on a design with a full rotation in the heel piece that allows for a consistent and reliable release from the binding. Generally, they're reliable and burly enough for some big time freeride.
