2027 Armada Strive 14 GW Bindings

The Strive 14 GW is a high-performance binding built for aggressive all-mountain and freestyle skiers who want top-tier elasticity, a low center of gravity, and GripWalk compatibility in a sleek, lightweight package. Designed to handle everything from park laps to freeride lines, the Strive 14 GW balances power and agility with impressive consistency.

Why we like it:

It offers 14-DIN performance and a super stable feel without the weight penalty.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to expert skiers who want a responsive binding that holds strong in variable conditions but still flexes naturally underfoot. Park, freeride, and all-mountain riders who use GripWalk boots will find a great match here.

Highlights:

A DIN range of 5–14 gives you confident retention for high-speed or high-impact skiing. With extra-wide toe pedals and XL wings, the binding delivers excellent lateral power and edge-to-edge response. The low-profile chassis enhances snow feel and ski flex, while superior elastic travel adds reliability and smoothness when the terrain gets rough.

Things to consider:

The Strive 14 GW is not compatible with touring soles, so if you use ISO 9523 boots, opt for the Strive 14 MN instead. More mellow or lighter skiers won’t need the higher DIN range of these bindings.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Available in multiple brake widths and compatible with Alpine DIN and GripWalk soles.
