Salomon Strive Bindings

The Strive is built for advanced to expert skiers who prioritize power transmission and a direct feel for the snow. Its low-profile design is ideal for those who want a responsive, stable connection to their skis, particularly when riding aggressively or in varied terrain.

The Strive is a Multinorm (MN) binding, meaning it is compatible with standard Alpine (ISO 5355) and GripWalk soles. It is a versatile choice, but you should always have a certified technician verify the compatibility and forward pressure with your specific boot model before use.

The ultra-low-profile toe piece lowers your center of gravity, which creates a more direct connection between your boot and the ski. This design improves terrain feedback, allowing you to feel the snow surface more clearly and react faster to changes in conditions.

The extra-wide toe pedal is designed to maximize lateral power transmission. By providing a broader platform, it ensures that your energy is transferred efficiently from your boot to the ski edge, giving you more control and confidence during hard carves.

At 995 grams per binding, the Strive is relatively lightweight for its performance class. Salomon uses reinforced polyamide and glass-fiber materials to keep the weight down without sacrificing the durability or stability required for aggressive skiing.

The DIN range indicates the release force settings for the binding. A range of 5-14 covers a wide spectrum of skier weights and abilities, making it suitable for aggressive intermediate to expert skiers who need a higher retention setting to prevent pre-release during high-speed or high-impact skiing.
