would love it if you would do a thorough comparison like this one but with ski boot brands, help people narrow down their choices as it can be quite overwhelming choosin between brands @@TheSkiMonster

The pivots are looking pretty nice

Super helpful video, thanks so much

You're welcome!

I went with Tyrolia Protector binding for the smidge extra assurance in the trees and chop. If I get crossed up and spun around I want maximum phantom foot protection

Great explanation and I think spot-on correct w pros/cons performance differences. Now I know why for ease of clicking in, my wife would be better off in the Attacks or Salomon, v her Markers (which performs great for her otherwise). Nice job w this!

thanks great video

thanks u help me a lot, good video

Glad to hear that!

Great video, it would be great if you could discuss binding delta angles too.

Does the Strive still support vertical release at the front like the STH2 did?

I have the Marker Griffon on my Ripstick 96s and I've never had any difficulty getting into or out of them in any circumstances and they've otherwise performed flawlessly, so I really like them. I have an unreasonable prejudice against Look bindings - they look like they're a pain in the ass and they remind me of ancient bindings from the 1950's.

Hi, thanks for the great review! What do you think of the Look SPX for a 100mm ski, advanced skier who is pretty agressive on all kind of snows? And how would you compare the strive to the SPX?

@TheSkiMonster

The Strive is easier to click into. The heel design of the SPX is closer to a griffon or pivot. Overall we prefer all of the bindings in the video over the SPX.

So does the attack and the strive keep you in as well as the Griffins. I’m pretty light weight

I weigh 165 - 170, 73 years old. Advanced skier but not necessarily aggressive. I ski mostly Mid Atlantic with trips to New England. I ski primarily frontside with occaisional forays into bumps and trees. Would you recommend Marker Squire or Marker Griffon?

@billwallace7294, If your current DIN or release settings are 5, 6, or 7 and you value a light weight feel that is really easy to click into then go Squire. If your DINs are a bit higher like 7, 8, or 9 go with the Griffon. The parts on the Griffon are a bit more robust so if you want things to last a long time or you are hard on your gear the Griffon could be a better pick.

Is a Marker Griffon ID 13 good for armada arv’s 96 22/23, if i do all mountain skiing?

Griffon is a great choice!

Which one has a lower stand height squire or strive? Which would you recommend for a Fischer ranger 96?

@TheSkiMonster

@alidalal3961, The Squire has a 24mm stand height and the Strive is 20mm. The Squire is a bit lighter with a lower DIN range so it would be a good pick for someone that is 150lbs or less typically. The Strive is a touch heavier with a higher DIN range so would be a better pick for someone over 150lbs or who likes to ski more aggressively.

I found a pair of armadas strive 14 gw for 100 dollars on sale im picking it up

I wonder if it’s just me but I sometimes have trouble getting the heel piece over my boot with my Griffon. I have to hold the spring down and manually/slowly bring it up and over. Works perfectly in a shop environment so it’s hard to show off of the snow. Just me?

How about the weight differences? Different DINs may weigh more also

what do you recommend for an expert level 195 lbs with 118mm waist ski. I am looking at the- Look SPX 12 GW B120 the Marker Griffon 13 ID Ski Bindings or the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW cheers!

@TheSkiMonster

Go with the Attack if you value something that is really easy to click into when you fall in deep snow. The Tyrolia heels are just easier compared to the others. If you prioritize feeling super connected to the ski, the Griffon is a great choice. The toe height on the Griffon is very adjustable to different boot soles and its nice that they make a 120mm brake for that 118 ski.

if I may add my point, Griffon is a ''sole ID'' so they will fit any boots; touring, Alpine, GW!!! Wardens ''MNC'' will do the same! MNC stands for Multi Norms Certified but they are discontinued.
