Why We Like It

  • The turntable heel rotates under the tibia rather than behind the boot, a design Look has refined for decades for edge hold and shock absorption.
  • Release from 8 to 18 covers the heaviest and hardest-charging skiers on one model.
  • The all-metal toe and heel shrug off the impacts of park and freeride skiing.
  • A short mounting zone keeps swing weight down and lets the ski flex more evenly underfoot.

Best Uses

  • Freeride and big-mountain skiing
  • Park and freestyle
  • Hard-charging resort days
  • Skis 80 to 115 mm underfoot

Mounting and Setup Advice

Choose the brake equal to or up to 15 mm wider than the ski waist: 95, 105 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.

The Pivot takes ISO 5355 alpine and GripWalk soles only; skiers with ISO 9523 touring-soled boots need a different binding.
