Strive 12 GW Binding - 2025

The DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) setting indicates the release force of your ski bindings. A higher DIN number means the binding will hold your boot more securely, which is ideal for advanced skiers who experience greater forces. To choose the right DIN setting, consider your weight, skill level, and skiing style. For example, lighter beginners might use a setting around 4, while heavier, more aggressive skiers may need a setting closer to 12.

GripWalk is a ski boot sole design that enhances grip and walking comfort. Its rocker shape and rubberized sole make it easier to walk on snow and ice, reducing the risk of slipping. If your bindings are compatible with GripWalk boots, you can enjoy a more versatile skiing experience, transitioning smoothly between walking and skiing without compromising performance.

A Low Profile Chassis design means the binding sits closer to the ski, which improves your connection to the ski. This enhanced feel and control are particularly beneficial in challenging terrains or powder, allowing for quicker reactions and more precise movements. If you value responsiveness in your skiing, a low profile chassis is a great feature to consider.

The 3 Part Heel design consists of three separate sections that provide increased flexibility and movement. This allows for better control of your skis and helps absorb shocks from uneven terrain. If you often ski in varied conditions, this design can significantly improve your comfort and performance on the slopes.

The LDN (Low Drag Nose) Toe design minimizes drag and resistance when the ski flexes, allowing for better performance and responsiveness. This feature helps your ski flex naturally underfoot, enhancing your overall skiing experience. If you want to improve your agility and responsiveness while skiing, look for bindings with the LDN Toe design.

The Atomic Strive 12 GW Binding is designed to be compatible with both traditional alpine ski boots and GripWalk boots. However, it's essential to ensure that your ski boots meet the compatibility requirements for the binding. If you have GripWalk boots, you’ll benefit from the enhanced grip and walking comfort, making it a versatile choice for various skiing conditions.
