Salomon Strive 12 GW Ski Bindings Oil Fluid/Black

Salomon Strive 12 GW Ski Bindings Oil Fluid/Black

A lightweight, low-profile all-mountain binding that combines responsive power transfer, generous elastic travel and straightforward GripWalk compatibility.

The Salomon Strive 12 GW is designed for intermediate and advanced skiers who want a responsive, 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 ultra-low-profile LDN Toe positions the boot close to the ski, creating a direct connection and helping the binding respond quickly when moving from edge to edge. A wide 72mm anti-friction device and extra-wide toe pedal distribute pressure across a broad area, providing a stable platform on 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 binding also provides 47mm of elastic travel, helping it absorb impacts and allowing the boot to recentre before releasing.

At the rear, Salomon’s lightweight 3-Part Heel combines straightforward step-in operation with vibration absorption and controlled release. At 930g per binding, the Strive 12 GW delivers dependable downhill performance while keeping weight and swing weight manageable.

FEATURES & TECHNOLOGY

• LDN Toe: The low, direct and neutral toe places the boot closer to the ski for improved terrain feedback, quicker response and efficient power transmission.
• Automatic Wing & Toe Adjustment: Automatically adapts to compatible Alpine and GripWalk adult boot soles, helping to maintain consistent contact and release performance.
• 47mm Elastic Travel: Generous elastic movement helps absorb impacts and allows the boot to recentre, reducing the likelihood of unwanted release during aggressive skiing.
• 72mm AFD Pad: A wide anti-friction device increases the contact area beneath the boot for improved stability and lateral power transmission.
• Extra-Wide Toe Pedal: The broad platform distributes pressure effectively across the ski and provides a stable feel on wider ski shapes.
• XL Wings: Longer toe wings wrap securely around the front of the boot for controlled power transmission and dependable retention.
• Sliding Toe Pedal: A spring-mounted anti-friction device allows controlled lateral movement and recentring to support reliable release during a fall.
• Low-Profile Chassis: A low stand height improves snow feel and creates a more direct connection between the skier and ski.
• Neutral Stance: The binding positions the skier in a balanced stance while allowing the ski to flex naturally.
• 3-Part Heel: A lightweight, low-profile heel construction that absorbs vibration while providing smooth, friction-free release when required.
• Arch Heel: Reinforcement across the heel housing improves lateral support and power transmission.
• Glass-Fibre Reinforced Polyamide: A reinforced construction that balances durability, controlled flex and reduced weight.
• Locking Brakes: The brake arms click together to make the skis easier to carry over the shoulder.
• TÜV Certified: Independently certified to the applicable alpine-binding safety standard.
