I saw that. Will it work on the plate?

 

[Andy Mink]

@ScotsSkier, if they fit on the plate I have a buyer for them.

 

[ScotsSkier]

If it is a piston plate it depends what vintage it is andy

 

[Andy Mink]

I'll see if I can get a photo.

Is it a 3 or a 3 screw Xcel? The plate is on an older Blizzard GS with a Marker 12.0 with bad heels now. I beleive the older plate can be modified to to acommidate the 4 screws, right?

 

[ScotsSkier]

the Xcel are all 4 screw. Dpends on the vintage of the ski/plate. From about 2012/13 they plate was changed to accept either the comp or the Xcel so the front mount has 7 sets of holes rather than 3. The heel mount is the same on all of them.

 

[Andy Mink]

He'll get me some photos later today. Of course if anyone else raises their hand with $$ in their fist, take it!

 

[ScotsSkier]

Thanks Andy. If it is the black or the white piston plate I can swap it over with one that does have the 2 sets of holes for the toe

 

[Andy Mink]

@ScotsSkier, he decided he has enough skis as is and isn't going to get these running. Thanks!

Perhaps a silly question, but would these work on a Liberty V76 in 179? From the bits I’ve read online it seems like this is a kids race binding, but maybe I’m looking at the wrong thing???

I’m not looking to race, instead just carve down groomers at speed. My DIN = 8 w/ 305 BSL & I’m about 170 lbs. I have K2 iKonic 84 Ti with the MXcell 12 TXC demo binding on them, but don’t know how these compare.

 

[ScotsSkier]

Yes, they would work on the V76. While used by a lot of smaller kids who are not big enough for the Xcel 16 this is a proper adult binding. Only difference to the Xcel 16 is the spring. I think as is normal with marker the base binding will be similar to the Mxcel (the M usually stands for movable as in demo) but the Xcel race has a more rigid chassis than the demo and separate forward pressure adjustment on the heel for greater accuracy in setting forward pressure

 

[Philpug]

the Xcell is a competent 12DIN binding that is on par with any other 12 binding that you could compare it against. If I needed a binding for a 80mm (or less ski) and didn't have boxes of Salomon's, I would have no qualms putting these on a ski.

Thanks for the responses @ScotsSkier & @Philpug. Sounds like a good option, PM sent!
