Head Mojo 15 Alpine ski bindings

A snowHead

OK so I have used head mojo 15 bindings on my skis for the last couple of years and I have been really happy with them (they were the model with the directional release heel piece).

I really wanted to get some more and so I grabbed some the other day on ebay (see here) because I haven't seen them for sale anywhere else. The picture advertised on ebay is exactly the same version of the bindings I have (see above image).

I just got the bindings but the version of the binding the shop has sent me is quite a bit different. Its mainly metal, a bit heavier, different toe piece release mechanism and has a fixed heel piece (no directional release). It's the multi coloured version as shown in the link below:

I am not bothered about the weight but I am mainly asking about the durability and the release mechanism. Is it a worse or better binding than I had before and was expecting to receive from the shop?

Thanks and sorry I cannot embed the images.

BTW I believe that it was a genuine mistake made by the shop because the box appeared to be unopened.

EDIT: Sorry this is Elston I was logged in on flowa's account!

Your old ones are the first version, they changed them getting rid of the moving afd and the diagonal heel, they now have the race heel instead and a lower teflon afd. but same toe. It beefed them up and lowered the stand height overall which apparently is better for freeride / park. The later one is more robust, with less moving bits so less to break, the heel also clamps you in tighter??

would suggest you measure the ramp i.e height difference between heel and toe as it may be rather different to your old ones, and so they will feel different.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks carroz that is really reassuring. More durability is great news! I am not that bothered if they feel different. I just wanted to check.

BTW what does 'afd' stand for? Is it the moving toe piece?

You need to Login to know who's really who.

AFD=Anti Friction Device.

The bit that lets the front of your boot to easily move sideways in the binding. In most cases this is the smooth bit on the toe-piece which your boot sits on top of. On the some head/etc bindings it is the roller band mechanism - looks like you old bindings used the roller, and new ones the smooth teflon pad.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Spot on RobW. Cheers for that.
