The binding that refuses to pick favorites. The Atomic Strive 12 GW tackles groomers, powder, park features, and everything in between with the kind of versatility that makes other bindings look like one-trick ponies.
This is your gateway drug to serious freeskiing. Light enough to keep your legs fresh all day, tough enough to handle whatever creative line your brain dreams up. The LDN toe drops your center of gravity so low you'll feel connected to the snow like never before. Every subtle terrain change, every texture shift, every opportunity the mountain offers—you'll know about it first.
That automatic toe adaptation is pure genius. Your boots get a little worn? No problem. Different boot entirely? Still no problem. This binding automatically adjusts to maintain consistent release values regardless of what's strapped to your feet. It's like having a binding technician built right into the mechanism.
The 3-part heel construction shaves weight in all the right places while keeping the strength where it matters. Step-in happens smoothly every time, even when your boots are packed with snow and your coordination is questionable after a long day. The slightly ramped chassis puts you in that sweet spot stance where everything just feels right.
One of the lightest DIN 12 bindings out there, but you'd never know it from the performance. Strategic metal placement means durability without the boat anchor effect. Lower swing weight translates to easier turn initiation and less leg fatigue when you're linking turns from first chair to last light.
The locking brake system turns ski transport from awkward fumbling into smooth operation. Click, lock, shoulder carry—done. It's the kind of detail that seems small until you're hiking back to the car with an armload of gear.
GripWalk compatibility means this binding plays nice with modern boot soles while maintaining that crucial connection to traditional alpine setups. Whether you're rocking the latest tech or riding trusty old favorites, this binding adapts without missing a beat.
TÜV certified because when you're pushing your limits and exploring new terrain, safety isn't optional. This binding has been thoroughly tested to make sure it releases when it should and holds when it needs to.
Available in 90mm, 100mm, and 115mm brake widths because ski variety is the spice of life, and this binding is ready for whatever planks you choose to mount it on.
