From what I have heard the 155 is same bomber construction as 185, just lower din.
Being that I'm 6'1", 150 lbs and keep din at 12/13, the 155 sounds better to me. But maybe too close to the top of the spring? i.e. lose elasticity. 12/13 is ok for an 18 din binder right?
so 185 it is?
I've got a 17 DIN binding set to 12 and it works just fine.
The FKS 155 is kind of goofy if you ask me. The din range on the 155 is 6-15 where as the din range on the 185 is 8-18. Not a huge difference and the 185/P18 is way easier to find cheap.
EDIT: DIN is in fact 6-15... my bad.
The DIN range on my Rossignol FKS goes from 6-15.
Always thought the rule of thumb was to keep your DIN in the middle of the range of the binding, so if you are skiing with a DIN of 12/13, you should probably go with the 185.
edit: pretty sure the construction on the 155 and the 185 is the same: both have metal housing.
Don't forget the fun factor with brake bending on those models. :mad:
FKS/P18 brake bending sucks!!!
Yes, yes it does. Regardless of what people say, it really sucks. I'd rather ski on S916's with fat brakes than have to bend Look/Rossi race brakes. Or neither, which I do.Quote:
