Atomic Strive 12 GW Ski Bindings 2027
The best part about the Strive 12?
It doesn't feel like the "budget" version.
Just like the Strive 14 and 16, it's built around the same philosophy: get your boot closer to the ski for better snow feel, quicker edge engagement, and more natural power transfer. The result is a binding that feels incredibly connected without adding unnecessary weight.
Designed by the same team behind the Shift and shared across Atomic, Salomon, and Armada, the Strive platform has become one of our favorite alpine bindings. The Strive 12 delivers that same connected feeling while offering a DIN range that's a better fit for the majority of intermediate and advanced skiers.
Its low stand height helps you feel what the ski is doing beneath your feet. While it no longer holds the title for the absolute lowest binding on the market, it still sits lower than many competitors, helping the ski roll smoothly from edge to edge and creating excellent snow feel.
Despite being lighter than the binding it replaced, the Strive 12 still feels solid and confidence inspiring. It doesn't ski like an entry-level binding—it skis like a Strive.
GripWalk compatibility comes standard, making it compatible with both GripWalk and traditional alpine boot soles.
