Atomic Strive 12 GW Ski Bindings

The Strive 12 is a great reminder that a binding does not need to feel bulky to feel purposeful. It sits close to the ski, keeps the swing weight down and covers a very useful release range. For a one-ski resort setup that sees a little of everything, that is a pretty convincing recipe.

Consider Another Option If

Choose another option if you need touring capability, a release-value range outside 4–12 or compatibility with a boot sole standard beyond Alpine and GripWalk.

• All-mountain, freeride and freestyle skiing
• Boots with Alpine or GripWalk soles
• A professionally determined release setting within 4–12

• LDN Toe: Uses a low centre of gravity and wide platform for a direct connection with the ski.
• Light Three-Part Heel: Supports easy entry in a compact, weight-conscious heel design.
• Automatic Toe Adaptation: Adapts to supported Alpine and GripWalk boot soles.
• Low-Profile Chassis: Keeps the skier close to the ski for clear terrain feedback.
• Locking Brakes: Click together for tidier ski carry.

Is this the same binding as the Strive 14 GW?

They share the same low-profile design idea, but the Strive 12 has a 4–12 release range and a lighter three-part heel. A technician should determine the appropriate range.
