Naxo NX01 Binding

  • 2013-01-24 23:46:41
    I just got into AT skiing this year and rented a couple of times, I bought a pair of second hand Naxo NX01's off Mec Gearswap still waiting for them to come in but I got them for $100, i'm a total gear head and really try to do my research before buying gear so looking at reviews I saw pretty good reslults at first. Now that the guy shipped them on COD I was looking into mounting them and found a lot of things going wrong and a bunch of complaints. I am worried now that they arn't a good binding I would rather get a better binding for more $$$ and not have problems with it. the biggest thing is I don't want to drill my ski's and put the Quiver killers in and then find out the bindings are crap and have to switch in a 2 years then have to get new ski's. any thoughts on the matter?

    I used the Naxos for 1 day and didn't like them.  Klunky and heavy.  My buddy's have broken twice.  Sorry but if you want a binding that is going to last more than 2 years, the Naxos would be my last choice.

    would you reccommend I send them back to the guy and wait for a different pair?

    I would not recommend them either, only heard bad things and I guess there is a reason why the company is no longer. The Quiver Killers are a great idea but I would say wait for something better. Just my 2¢.

    On that note anyone selling a pair of used AT bindings let me know :P
