Armada Strive 12 Alpine Binding
The Armada Strive 12 Alpine Binding is a light alpine binding for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a low, connected feel on freeride and park skis. The LDN toe sits close to the ski with a neutral stance, XL wings and an extra-wide toe pedal of more than 60 mm, and release adjusts from 4 to 12. At 920 g per binding without brake, with 30 mm of length adjustment and brakes in 90, 100 or 115 mm, the Strive 12 suits all-mountain skiing, park and freeride for skiers who do not need a higher setting.

Mounting and Setup Advice
Choose the brake equal to or up to 15 mm wider than the ski waist: 90, 100 or 115 mm. A shop should set the 4 to 12 release for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type and test it after mounting.
The Strive 12 takes alpine and GripWalk soles. Bring your boots in so we can confirm the sole and set the release.
