Hey all, first time post here. About 13 years ago I bought a pair of second hand Atomic Supercross SX11 170 cm skis from the 03/04 circa, with SX412 bindings; the ones with three different positions on the skis you can adjust by flipping a tab on the front of the nose piece.
Yes, these bindings were the subject of the binding recall of that era and I did have the warranty repair done at an authorized dealer here in Iowa. I have been skiing on them since and have had no issues. Yes, I understand the bindings are no longer indemnified and I use them at my own risk; skiing in itself is a risk, regardless of equipment. I learned how to make my own binding adjustments; I'm 60 years old and rather mechanically inclined; I know my DIN setting and there are some videos and blogs out there with the necessary information. I do have some newer skis I use but I really do like the way these skis ride at speed. By some incredible luck, I found a brand new, still shrink-wrapped pair of the exact same SX11 170 skis on ebay and bought them.
I was just going to swap the bindings from the old pair and move them to the new ones, or find some used 614s that weren't subject to the recall and mount those. Then I got to thinking, the late model Atomic X12 Var bindings appear to have the same basic design and I am wondering if they could be mounted on these skis without too much fuss. I've attached some photos of the binding plate; any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
