The Pivot may not be used on the World Cup in racing, but it is still the dominate binding for moguls and freestyle events on the World Cup today.

After watching this video I bought a pair of pivot.

Thanks Phil and Tricia, great info here. Do you have any info on the weight difference between the two? I'm not a particularly powerful skier, so I'd be interesting to see the weight diff between these two bindings. Thanks!!

Totally agreed with SPX advantages. Pivot is more complex "niche" and serious ski binding. But 1. Pivots get clogged with snow, sometimes it’s difficult to buckle in and clear the snow from the heel (in the place where the brake pedal is located). Agree. 2. Anyone who wants can open the heel with the back of the ski pole. I don't see any particular problems here. The dark heels of the pivots at the point of contact of the pole are perfectly fused with black plastic to repair the base (if you want to open them with a ski pole) 3. Adjustment... how often do you change boots with different BSLs? If so, that's a plus, but for me personally it doesn't really matter. We're not talking about rental skis. 4. Race carve. Well, I don’t know... it seems to me that for amateur skating and the current Pivot design is enough for the eyes, they won and raced on it at the World Cup and, apart from a few different springs, nothing has changed. 5+6. On narrow 75 brakes there are no problems with bulging. But in general, the heel itself and the brakes are an expensive spare part. SPX has an easier time with this. Agree. 7. Pivot is an expensive mount, but I think that's the price to pay for its uniqueness. SPX has an attractive price. There is an option to put a metal toe (versions with a metal toe).

Then what's the advantage of pivot over spx? That might be a very valuable info you can provide in the video

Do think the fact the pivot rotates under the tibial axis is any advantage?

how you damage the pivot more ? its basicly the same metal cup with paint and like you said its made for that and using your ski do the same damege on both bindings

I've heard from one of my local ski shop that I had to put some kind of plate on the ski in order to mount the spx bindings. Is that true? Or can I just mount the SPX straight on the ski without any plate?

Former Look Pivot 15/Look Pivot 12 owner. They are without a doubt a great biding, however they are not quite safe as what i've experienced, many occasions, where i expected them to release me were the situations, i almost felt i will break my knees, next is people mentioning snow get clogged>true as well.But the most awkward what i felt is that turntable heel piece tends to rotate when you making a really fast and huge carving turn, and YES my forward pressure was adjusted correctly, not that it's huge rotation back and fourth but you don't feel totally secure when initiating a turn. Boot sole lenght adjustment is low. I switched back to my trusty Marker jester on all of my skis, which i was using before switching to Pivots.

You forgot to talk about the tremendous amount of elastic travel in the heel of the pivot.

I feel like this video kind of just throws the pivots in the dirt, lets say the "world cup apperences" yes the pivot is not popular in ski racing anymore since the flex in the heel but look at mogul skiing for example where every singe one is using pivots and also freestyle skiing where also alot of people use the pivot. I find the pivots really durable on every aspect but cosmetics. And as a short conclusion i would say that the spx is a more "beginner friendly" binding but at the end it all comes down to personal preference and i prefer the pivot but i thought this video just talked down the pivot like it is a bad binding.

This should be called "7 Reasons the Look SPX *is* a Better Option Than The Look Pivot" as there was no comparison... based on this video, only idiots buy the pivot. I appreciate what you were trying to do, I hope. Thanks.
