ATOMIC Strive 12 GW, 115 mm review

A binding whose title says 115 cm where it means 115 mm — on the one figure that decides whether it fits the ski.

The bottom line The best compatibility answer on the shelf, printed above a brake width in the wrong unit.

The unit error

The title: Atomic Strive 12 GW Skibindungen, Schwarz/Bronze, 115 cm.

There is no such thing as a 115 cm brake. It is 115 mm — the widest on this shelf, meant for a wide ski.

The figure is right and the unit is wrong, on the one measurement that decides whether the binding can be mounted at all. A buyer comparing “115 cm” against a ski measured in millimetres is comparing nothing.

Auto-GripWalk

Kompatibel mit Auto-GripWalk.

The toe takes an alpine sole and a GripWalk sole without being changed between them. Of the five bindings here, two state a sole standard, one implies it in a model name, and this is the only one that removes the question entirely.

The toe and the heel

  • LDN Toe — stated to sit the binding closer to the ski, for response and snow feel
  • A three-piece heel, stated light and easy to step into

Neither carries a figure. The stand height, which the Tyrolia on this shelf publishes as 17 mm, is not given.

The DIN

Strive 12 in the name, and no range anywhere. As with three of the five bindings here, the ceiling is implied and the floor is unknown.

The declared figures, and where they run out

Strengths

  • Auto-GripWalk is stated, not implied — the toe adjusts to the sole rather than being set for one
  • The widest brake on the shelf, for the widest skis
  • Priced in five of the six markets

Compromises

  • The brake width is given in centimetres in the title; 115 cm is not a width any binding has
  • No DIN range published, only the 12 in the model name
  • One bullet reads "Komfort, Komfort und Konsistenz" — comfort, comfort and consistency

Questions asked about this one

Is the brake 115 cm or 115 mm?

115 mm. A 115 cm brake would be longer than most skis are wide by a factor of ten. The title carries the wrong unit; the number itself is the right one, and it is the number to measure the ski against.

What is Auto-GripWalk?

A toe piece that accepts both alpine ISO 5355 and GripWalk soles without being adjusted between them. It is the most useful compatibility statement on this shelf, because it removes the question rather than answering it for one sole.

What does the LDN toe do?

The listing says it places the binding lower on the ski, for better response and snow feel. No stand height figure is given, so this page reports the intent and not a millimetre.

Who this one is for

A wide freeride ski, and a boot whose sole standard the owner is not certain of
