Hotshot bindings

I recently got some new J skis hotshots and was looking for some guidance on bindings. I have some forza 2.0 pivot 15s which I think would look dope on the kootaneys graphic I got, but theyre 130 brakes. I could buy a different brake put theyre expensive and a pain. Also not sure if the 95/115 would be better or even fit well. I could get jester 16s but theyre pretty expensive or I could get some attacks but Ive had some durability issues with them. Lmk if theres a way I can source a cheap brake/any binding sales going on or if you have any extra insight.

yeah replacing pivot brakes is a pain in the ass and expensive but it'll still be less work and money than getting new bindings and pivots are the best so i'd say do that

what is the waist size on hot shots?

i'd be looking for a B95 brake size in that case

as for buying brakes, you can look online but they always seem to be like $75 or somewhere in that range and then you either need to replace them yourself or have a shop do it, but all that is still cheaper than buying new bindings and the bindings you have right now are such dope ones. that's my 2 cents

it really comes down to what you’re using them for.
if you just ride some powder, but mostly groomers/park etc, pivots are good.
If you’re planning on skiing mostly powder tho, I’d get another binding like the attacks. Pivots are so fucking hard to clip back into if you eject in pow
