N Strive 16 MN Ski Binding - 2025

A higher DIN rating, such as 16, indicates that the ski binding is designed to hold your boot more securely, which is essential for advanced skiers who engage in aggressive skiing or experience larger impacts. This means you can ski with more confidence, knowing that your bindings will provide the necessary support and release when needed.

GripWalk features a specialized boot sole design that enhances grip and comfort while walking. This is particularly beneficial for skiers who need to navigate snowy or icy terrain when not skiing. With GripWalk, you can easily walk in your ski boots without the risk of slipping, making your overall skiing experience more enjoyable.

The 3-piece heel design allows for more natural flexing of the ski underfoot, which can significantly improve your performance and comfort while skiing. This design helps you maintain better control and feel of your skis, allowing for smoother turns and enhanced responsiveness on the slopes.

The AFD is a crucial component of ski bindings that reduces friction between your boot and the binding during a release. This feature ensures that your boot can detach smoothly in the event of a fall, minimizing the risk of injury. A reliable AFD enhances your safety on the slopes, giving you peace of mind while skiing.

A neutral stance refers to a balanced and centered position of your body while standing on your skis. This stance is vital for maintaining control and stability, especially when skiing in both forward and switch (backward) directions. A proper neutral stance is particularly important for freestyle skiing, where executing tricks and jumps requires precise balance and control.

To determine compatibility, check if your ski boots are labeled as GripWalk compatible. These boots typically have a specific sole design that fits with GripWalk bindings. If you're unsure, consult the product specifications or ask a knowledgeable staff member at your local ski shop to ensure you have the right setup for optimal performance and safety.
