Why We Like It

  • The LDN toe keeps the boot low and neutral for a direct connection to the ski.
  • An extra-wide toe pedal and XL wings drive wide freeride skis.
  • Release adjusts from 5 to 14 for heavier and more aggressive skiers.
  • Automatic wing adjustment keeps release consistent as boot soles wear.

  • All-mountain charging
  • Park
  • Advanced and expert skiers
  • Wide freeride skis

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 5 to 14 release for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type and test it after mounting.

The Strive 14 takes alpine and GripWalk soles. Bring your boots in so we can set the release.
