Which binding is best?

I've been riding Byerly's for the past two years and have loved them except for one thing.... they're very heavy. Last weekend they finally gave out on me. Both boots ripped. Rather than buy some new Byerly's or get new overlays, I've decided to try another binding. I've got three boots in mind:

CWB Zeus
LF Alphas
LF Ultras

I've ridden a buddy's Zeus' before and liked them quite a bit. However, I'm not crazy about a front lace binding. I like to be snug in my boots, yet come right out of them on a nasty fall. The LF Alphas look cool, but how do they ride? The Ultras may be what I'm looking for, but I read some reviews and am worried that they will not offer the support that I'm used to in the Byerly's.

I would like some opinions from those that have been riding for a while. Preferrably from riders who have actually owned some of the bindings mentioned above, as well as other bindings to compare them to. If money was no object which boot do you think is best?

dude im in the same position your in i ride the 04 byerlys and there so freakin heavy there startin to wear out on me and the boa is starting the lose its hold and i have to tighten them alot me often now im gunna try the alphas and ultras on at my local shop and see how they are but if you try out the alphas or ultras out let me know it would be greatly appreacaited

zeus!just don't tighten them up as much.

get lf teams, alphas are ok but the teams are the best. as far as zeus's and ultrasucs....please.... don't wast your time

John,

LF Teams? I haven't heard of those. Did you mean Transits? Also, why shouldn't I waste my time with the Zeus or Ultras? What problems have you had with them?

I've ridden Ultras, Belmonts, Parks, Exo's, and Alphas. I always always go back to the Ultras. I'm about to get my third pair. I love the Ultras. After riding them for a while I feel like everyone boot is just too high, and not tight enough.

If money was not an object.....still ultras.

I don't know what John is talking about.

I've been ridding the Zeus most of this season. They are the most comfortable binding I have ever tried. No problems. Very easy to get on and off. Everyone I know loves them.

i like mine the best.

teams are the new 05 LF bindings that put all others to shame. wait like a month or so, it'll be worth it. the zeus's aren't near as comfortable and the ultras are downright horrible to get in and out of.

i have hyperlite 3060. they are pretty good.

LF Ultras all the way. Hard to get in and out, but definitely worth it once your in.

pay the extra 100 bucks for the teams instead of the ultras, its worth it.

Do you have pic or any other info on the Teams?
