Strive 12 GW Binding enhances power, control, and terrain feel with a low-profile design
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Strive 12 GW Binding makes my ski days more dynamic. Its low-profile toe design helps me feel every contour of the terrain, giving me the confidence to tackle varied conditions. With GripWalk compatibility and easy setup features, it’s a great choice for all-mountain days when I want precision and control without extra weight."
When we're chasing fresh snow or carving hardpack, the Salomon Strive 12 GW Binding keeps us connected to our skis like never before. Its ultra-low profile toe piece lowers our center of gravity, delivering a direct and powerful connection to the terrain. The result? Better control, faster response times, and more confidence on every turn.
Built with all-mountain versatility in mind, the Strive 12 GW is compatible with GripWalk soles for seamless integration with modern ski boots. Features like automatic wing and toe adjustment make setting up our gear quick and easy, while elastic travel in the toe and heel ensures consistent release when the unexpected happens. With a DIN range of 4–12, this binding strikes the perfect balance for skiers who want lightweight performance and reliable retention on variable terrain.

Sliding toe plate malfunction
I'm skiing these binding with new K2 revolver grip walk boots. The sliding toe pedal consistently slides out on both skis and doesn't retract. The toe of the boots doesn't mate to the binding completely so the sliding toe pedal on the bindings are not in complete contact. I'm an expert fast skier and I'm concerned the defect may cause the binding to not release if I fall.

Strive bindings
I really like how easy these bindings are to get into. The toe piece especially. I've been skiing over 60 years, 35 in Jackson, and can recommend these. Also I trust the safety of these bindings, and like the light weight.

Brake on new binding failed, down a binding & ski
I have been skiing for years, but always renting. I decided this year to buy my first complete set up. I chose to go with Salomon. I picked up a pair of Stance 96 skis - 2023 (182), S/PRO MV 100 boots, Strive 12 Gripwalk bindings and Arctic S3 poles. I took them out the first time, on what ended up being very icy conditions. The equipment performed great and I was very pleased. A few weeks later I was skiing Jackson Hole. Skied all over the mountain taking on a variety of difficulties. No equipment issues. Then, on what turned out to be my last run of the day, I fell. Both skis came off. The brake on my right ski engaged, the brake on my left ski did not. The last I saw my left ski, it was racing down "Sundance". I ended up walking down the rest of the run looking for my ski, but never found it. I understand that sometimes these things happen, but I'm very disappointed that it happened on just my second day of use. Now I am back to renting for the remainder of the season. I will buy another set for next year, just not sure what brand I'm going to go with.
