Atomic Strive 14 GW Alpine Binding

The Atomic Strive 14 GW Alpine Binding is an all-mountain and freeride alpine binding for advanced and expert skiers. A wide-pedal LDN toe sits low and drives the edge directly, and the three-piece metal heel resists deformation through repeated hard turns. At 980 g per binding with TÜV-certified release from 5 to 14 and brakes in 90, 100 or 115 mm, the Strive 14 GW suits resort all-mountain skiing, freeride and park laps.

Why We Like It

  • The LDN toe, short for Low, Direct, Neutral, sits the boot close to the ski for direct edge feel and a low center of gravity.
  • TÜV-certified release from 5 to 14 covers intermediate through expert skiers on one model.
  • The toe adjusts to boot sole height automatically, which keeps release consistent as boots and soles wear.
  • The heavier-duty heel and wider toe pedal add 60 g over the Strive 12 GW in exchange for the higher range.

Best Uses

  • All-mountain resort skiing
  • Freeride and big-mountain days
  • Park and freestyle
  • Skis 75 to 115 mm underfoot

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 certified technician should mount the binding, set release for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type, and test it.

This GripWalk version takes ISO 5355 alpine and GripWalk soles only. Skiers with ISO 9523 touring-soled boots need a Multi-Norm version.
