Look Pivot 12 GW Ski Bindings 2024

LOOK AT ME NOW.

REVIEWED BY: Joe Riccio

The Look Pivot 12 ski bindings are a fantastic choice for intermediate skiers who want reliability and maximum response. This Look binding has quick energy transmission and tons of elastic travel. The new toe piece easily accommodates rockered boot soles (GripWalk), while the heel piece's elastic travel reduces the force of big impacts on the mountain. Reducing this force helps the skier stay in the bindings, instead of pre-releasing. This preventive pre-release feature makes them highly sought-after by hard-charging freestyle or freeride skiers.  

FAQ:

Why do so many skiers trust Look, and only Look?

The toe and heel pieces operate independently of each other. The Pivot heel piece also has the most elastic travel of any heel piece out there.  The Salomon STH2 bindings function similarly, but they don’t have the elastic travel in the heel piece.  Basically what this mumbo-jumbo means is the toe piece has 180 degrees of release and can release that way regardless of heel piece movement. The toe piece releasing quality is one of the many reasons people go with Knee bindings, but for aggressive skiers – knee bindings can allow pre-release.  Pre-release is something that happens less in a Pivot binding, you release when you need to.
