The durability of the all-metal Look Pivot bindings has been a popular selling point for freestylers and all-mountain skiers alike. This year the Look Pivot GW is back with a hyper-secure max 15 DIN and its reliable lateral heel release safety feature. These bindings actually have seven contact points with the ski and a low center of gravity for maximum control and maneuverability.
The mounting zone is fairly short, so it doesn’t interfere with the natural flex of your skis. This should appeal to freestyle skiers who are all too familiar with a dreaded slap effect from reduced flexibility on hard landings. They have excellent shock absorption for big booter confidence.
The main thing we like about these is they have added safe release features, including a wide 180° multi-directional release in the toe and a lateral release pattern in the heel to accommodate common falls, plus a high DIN volume to make sure they only come off when they need to. So they’re safe and extra durable with a metal design. What’s more metal than freestyle skiing?
