Description of Rossignol SAS2 150 Wide Ski Binding:
The Rossignol SAS2 150 Wide Ski Binding provides expert freestyle chargers with outstanding performance and durability, plus the legendary elastic travel of the Axial2 heel / Dual Action Race toe design. Known industry-wide for its ability to absorb boot shock and recenter without releasing, the SAS2 150 virtually eliminates 'walk-out' pre-release. That means you can run an appropriate DIN setting for your weight, instead of cranking up to a ligament-shredding retention range just to stay clicked in. Full-metal housings front and rear give the SAS2 150 excellent durability and torsional rigidity, while the ball-mounted Dual Action Race toepiece offers omni-directional release in backward twisting falls. The Axial2 heelpiece angles down, rather than forward, to keep your boot properly pressured, and the extra-wide AFD feels solid on big-mountain boards. 100mm-wide brakes fit (or bend to fit) most fatties just fine.
Bottom Line: Pros trust the SAS2 150 Binding, and so can you.
These bindings are almost as strong as you can get. I have them mounted on my Dynastar Legend Pros and Big Troubles. I beat the crap out of them and never have to worry about breakage or prerelease. The elasticity in the heelpiece is what makes look/rossi bindings the best. I'm 6 foot, 190 pounds and I ride these at 11. My salomons are set at 13 and Marker Duke's are at 12 just so they don't prerelease when I land big or way forward. The SAS2 150s give me a chance to recover before releasing, but still release when necessary during a big crash. They are heavy from the all metal construction, but plastic bindings break. If you bust these up, I hope your body is still intact. Now, if they only brought back the turntable in something less than an 18 din. . . .
