Armada Strive 12 GW Ski Bindings White
A lightweight, low-profile all-mountain and freeride binding that delivers responsive power transfer, dependable retention and straightforward GripWalk compatibility.
The Armada Strive 12 GW is designed for intermediate through advanced skiers who want a responsive and versatile binding without the additional weight or higher release range of a DIN 14 model. Its DIN range of 4–12 makes it suitable for a broad range of adult skiers exploring groomed pistes, mixed snow and freestyle terrain.
The low-profile LDN Toe positions the boot closer to the ski, creating a direct connection and helping the binding respond quickly when moving from edge to edge. An extra-wide toe pedal distributes pressure across a broad area, providing a stable platform that works particularly well with modern all-mountain and freeride skis.
Automatic Wing and Toe Adjustment accommodates compatible Alpine and GripWalk adult boot soles without requiring manual toe-height adjustment. The low, slightly ramped chassis places the skier in a balanced stance while allowing the ski to flex naturally beneath the binding.
At the rear, the lightweight 3-Part Heel combines straightforward step-in operation with vibration absorption and controlled release. At 985g per binding, the Strive 12 GW provides a useful balance of downhill stability, durability and manageable swing weight.
