Recently bought the 2019 head framewall 176cm. The shop is selling them as a package deal with Tyrolia attack 11s. I will only be skiing park and fell like these bindings wont be as sturdy on 50-70ft jumps. I weigh 78kg and am 180cm. Anyone got some good binding recommendations for these skis

Nothing wrong with Tyrolia bindings as such - they've got good construction, low stand height, easy to clip into and solid performance the same as any equivalent binding from Marker, Salomon etc. If you're going to be hitting big jumps like that though you might want to look at one of the beefier versions, like the Attack 13 or Attack2 13 if its the more recent models which have an improved toe piece.

The attack 11s are a great binding for beginner/intermediate skiers or lightweight skiers focused on-piste. If you're looking to sell them I may be interested?

What's improved about the Attack2 toepiece aside from the gripwalk compatibility and added weight? Was there a design flaw or were they strengthened other than what's needed to accommodate a wider range of boots?

I've been running attack 16s and like the stand height and how easy they are to clip into in powder. The release is also buttery smooth. I was looking into trading them for pivots at one point but decided against it because of the pivot heel piece. Overall, the Attacks are pretty bomber. Would recommend.

The actual construction and design around the spring in the toepiece was redesigned which Tyrolia has said makes them release/retain the boot more consistently. Haven't skied them enough personally to comment on whether there's any noticeable difference, but they're a solid binding for sure

Cool, I have the original Attack 13s and my wife rides the 11s, we both love them. I've ridden the 14ATs and didn't like them nearly as well, the stack height is higher and they're heavier.

The Attack2 series is significantly heavier compared to the originals putting them more on par with sth or pivots which is unfortunate imo. Still great bindings though and the pricing advantage is still there.

yeah the attacks are excellent bindings but the 11 would be weak on you-- there's a construction difference between the 11s and 13s/16s

I have the Tyrolia Attack 13’s. They’ve been super solid but I had loads of issues with the forward lean not being on the right notch setting, so when it came to nose butters I was releasing too easily. On the flip side, if you crank the forward lean up so you don’t realease when nose buttering it’s pretty sketchy cause you may not pop out when you need to.

I ride Attack 13's on all 3 pairs of my skis. Light and inexpensive for how quality they are in my opinion.

If you’re hitting some 50-70ft jumps I’d def get the 13s if not the 16s... better materials and construction
