The Strive 14 features an ultra low-profile toe piece which creates a low center of gravity. Combined with the lightweight three-piece heel, this binding enhances a skier's power, control, and responsiveness due to more direct ski contact. This binding removes as much interference between you and the ski as possible to connect you to the terrain. Main Material: Glass-Fiber PA: A dedicated polyamide reinforced with fiber-glass which makes bindings lighter, durable, and with more tolerance on skis. Binding Technologies: Low profile Chassis: Low stand height for increased terrain feedback and enhanced power transmission. Toe: XL Wings: Long wings that envelop the tip of the boot perfectly in order to provide increased power transmission and confidence in freeride bindings. LDN Toe: This revolutionary toe piece boasts an ultra-low center of gravity highlighted by an extra-wide pedal and neutral stance, so skiers can feel the pure sensations of all terrain. Elastic travel: The ultimate elastic travel on the wings. It holds the boot back when faced with bigger shocks and minimizes the risk of pre-release. Heel: Arch Heel: Heel arch technology for lateral reinforcement. 3 Parts Heel: Extra-wide BC 3-parts heel, providing extreme resistance, strongest hold and increased stability. Pedal: Extra-wide Toe pedal (>60mm): A super-wide pedal that ensures the best lateral power transmission from skier to ski. Designed for intense freeskiing, perfect stability and enhanced confidence. Sliding Toe pedal: A specific pedal mounted on a spring that allows lateral movements and re-centering. It allows any normed boot to release out of the binding in case of a lateral fall. Compatability & NORMS: MN - Adult TUV: Binding tested and certified by the TUV safety monitoring agency, the reference entity for safety certification.
