Atomic Strive 12 GW 2027
The Atomic Strive 12 GW is designed for skiers who want a versatile binding that performs across the entire mountain. Whether you're carving groomers, exploring freeride terrain, or lapping the park, the Strive 12 delivers a stable, connected feel thanks to Atomic's low-profile design. The LDN Toe places the binding closer to the ski, creating improved snow feel, quicker energy transfer, and more precise control throughout the turn.
Automatic Toe Adaptation seamlessly accommodates both Alpine and GripWalk boot soles while maintaining consistent release values. A slightly ramped chassis promotes a natural, balanced stance, while the lightweight 3-Part Heel provides reliable retention and easy step-in convenience. One of the lightest bindings in its DIN category, the Strive 12 reduces swing weight without sacrificing durability, making it an excellent choice for skiers seeking all-mountain performance with minimal added weight.
