{"title":"Look","description":null,"products":[{"product_id":"pivot-15-gw-b115-gold","title":"Pivot 15 GW B115 Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Look Pivot 15 GW B115 Gold is a full-metal, all-mountain freeride binding built around two pieces of engineering that have made the Pivot line the reference point for retention in alpine skiing. The toe piece is an aluminum race unit with 45mm of elastic travel and 180-degree multi-directional release — that long elastic travel means the binding can absorb significant deflection before deciding to let go, which translates to fewer unwanted pre-releases on hard chop, landings, and variable snow without sacrificing safety release in a real fall. The heel is the reason people argue about this binding on the internet: the turntable design rotates directly under the tibia axis rather than hinging back from a fixed point, so in a twisting fall the heel swivels with the leg instead of fighting it. That geometry gives you 28mm of heel elastic travel with a retention feel that's firm and coupled, not vague. The B115 brake clears skis up to 115mm underfoot. Boot compatibility covers traditional Alpine ISO 5355 soles and GripWalk ISO 23223 soles — this is not a multinorm binding, so touring boots with tech or WTR soles will not work with it. DIN range is 6–15, the binding weighs about 1,245g per half pair, and stand height is 18mm at the toe and 19mm at the heel — a roughly 1mm ramp, about as flat and neutral as alpine bindings get.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis binding is for advanced to expert skiers — anyone who skis hard enough, fast enough, or in consequential enough terrain that they want the extra retention margin the long elastic travel provides. The DIN 6–15 range covers a wide swath of aggressive recreational skiers up through heavier or more aggressive freeriders who need the top end. Where it does not make sense: if your DIN setting falls below roughly 6, the minimum toe release is going to be set higher than it should be for your weight and ability, which is a real safety concern. Lighter skiers, beginners, or anyone whose calculated DIN sits in the 3–5 range should be looking at the Pivot 12 GW instead, which carries a 4–12 range and will release correctly for them. Likewise, if your ski's waist is narrower than 95mm, the B115 brake is the wrong width — Look sells the same binding in a B95 configuration for narrower skis, and running oversized brakes increases the chance of brake drag in deep snow. The Gold colorway is cosmetic only; spec and performance are identical across Pivot 15 GW B115 colorways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDIN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6-15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,245g per binding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrake Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105-115mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSole Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine + GripWalk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpert freeride — Gold edition, DIN 15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Look","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48835264971047,"sku":"FCJA004","price":343.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/800x600_fcja004_pivot15gw_b115_Gold.jpg?v=1721100955"},{"product_id":"pivot-15-gw-b115-forza-3-0","title":"Pivot 15 GW B115 Forza 3.0","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Look Pivot 15 GW is one of those bindings that has earned its reputation the slow way — by consistently doing the job for decades on World Cup courses, in mogul fields, and in the kind of freeride terrain where an unexpected pre-release ends badly. The \"FORZA 3.0\" designation is a colorway, not a functional variant; mechanically it's the same Pivot 15 GW. What you're actually getting is Look's turntable heel piece — the one that pivots directly under your tibia on release rather than kicking straight back — which delivers 28mm of elastic travel at the heel and 45mm at the all-aluminum race toe. That combination absorbs impact forces that would trip a conventional binding into releasing, which is what makes this binding hold when you land heavy or hit a rut at speed. DIN range runs 6 to 15, appropriate for skiers roughly 70–100+ kg depending on age, boot sole length, and skier type — squarely in intermediate-aggressive to expert territory. The B115 brake is sized to cover roughly 100mm to 115mm of waist width, so it pairs correctly with modern mid-fat and freeride shapes; if your ski's waist is under about 100mm you want the narrower B100 brake instead. Boot compatibility covers both standard alpine ISO 5355 soles and GripWalk ISO 23223 soles, but stops there — this is not an MNC\/multinorm binding and will not accept alpine touring or tech boot soles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis binding is built for confident, strong skiers who ski hard, ski fast, or both — all-mountain chargers, freeride skiers, and mogul competitors who need a binding that won't let go when conditions get punishing. The all-aluminum race toe and turntable heel give it the long elastic travel and bomber retention the Pivot is known for. Who should not buy it: if your shop-set DIN lands below 6 — lighter or lower-ability adults — the minimum release value here is too high to release safely in a fall, and you'd be better served by the Pivot 12 GW, which runs from DIN 4. Children and junior skiers should not be on this binding at all, and not on the Pivot 12 either; they need a true junior binding such as Look's NX 7 GW Jr (DIN 2–7) or similar, with the release value set by a technician for their weight and boot. If your ski's waist is wider than 115mm, you need the B130 brake version; running B115 brakes on a 120mm-waist ski means the brakes won't engage the snow properly when you step out. And if you're on GripWalk boots for walking comfort but also want touring capability, this is not the binding — you'd need a dedicated MNC or tech-compatible binding for that. For the skier it's designed for, though, the Pivot 15 GW B115 is a binding you mount and stop thinking about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDIN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6-15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,245g per binding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrake Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105-115mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSole Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine + GripWalk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpert freeride — wide brake for big mountain skis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Look","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48835424878887,"sku":"FCLPA06","price":343.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/800x600_FCLPC04_PIVOT12GW_B115_FORZA3_rgb72dpi_01.jpg?v=1721101667"},{"product_id":"pivot-12-gw-b115-forza-3-0","title":"Pivot 12 GW B115 Forza 3.0","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Look Pivot 12 GW is a freeride and all-mountain binding built around Look's iconic turntable heel — the same core design that's been at the center of freeskiing for decades. The number tells you who this binding holds: a DIN range of 4–12 covers lighter and mid-weight skiers, roughly up to about 160–180 lb depending on ability and boot sole type. That turntable heel gives you 28 mm of heel elastic travel, and the toe piece adds 45 mm of elastic travel — a big part of why the Pivot resists pre-release the way it does. In practice that means the binding soaks up hard landings and off-axis impacts without ejecting you, while still releasing cleanly in a real fall. The B115 brake fits skis with a waist between roughly 95 mm and 115 mm — pair it to an 85 mm-waist carver and the brakes drag; pair it to a 125 mm-waist powder board and they don't clear the edges to engage properly after a fall. The GW designation means the binding's antifriction device (AFD) self-adjusts for both traditional ISO 5355 alpine boot soles and GripWalk (ISO 23223) rockered soles — no adapter needed. Stand height is a nearly flat 19 mm at the heel and 18 mm at the toe, which keeps you close to the ski and makes edge-to-edge feel direct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis binding is a genuine fit for intermediate-to-expert skiers who ski hard terrain, want serious anti-pre-release retention in variable snow, and are running a wide all-mountain or freeride ski in roughly the 95–115 mm waist range. If you're a heavier skier — say, over 180 lb at an aggressive level — or if your DIN setting lands above 10, you want the Pivot 15 GW (DIN 6–15) or Pivot 18 GW (DIN 8–18) instead; running a DIN 12 binding pinned at its ceiling is a safety compromise, not a workaround. On the brake side, match the brake to your ski waist: if your ski is around 90 mm or narrower, go with the B95 (fits ~75–95 mm) — a B115 on a clearly narrower ski leaves the arms too wide to bite the snow, which is a rescue problem waiting to happen. The Forza 3.0 is a colorway, not a spec change. Finally, this binding is not compatible with MNC or tech\/touring boot soles — if you're running a touring-capable boot, look at Look's NX series with MNC multi-norm compatibility instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDIN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,105g per binding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrake Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105-115mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStand Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSole Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine + GripWalk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-metal Race toe + Pivot turntable heel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdvanced freeride — Pivot heel on wider skis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Look","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48835449258279,"sku":"FCLPC04","price":263.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/800x600_FCLPC04_PIVOT12GW_B115_FORZA3_rgb72dpi_01_36bc7aee-176e-499d-b9b6-7da6947811a8.jpg?v=1721102131"},{"product_id":"pivot-15-gw-b95-forza-3-0","title":"Pivot 15 GW B95 Forza 3.0","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Look Pivot 15 GW in the Forza 3.0 colorway is the same binding that has defined high-performance alpine retention for decades — just with different graphics. Under the hood you get Look's PIVOT turntable heel, which rotates directly beneath the tibia and delivers 28mm of elastic travel before releasing. That is not a marketing number: it means the heel absorbs lateral shock and momentary loading — rocks, variable crud, hard landings — without triggering a premature release. The RACE aluminum toe adds another 45mm of elastic travel with 180° multi-directional release. Together they produce a system that holds harder than almost anything else at DIN 6–15, and releases cleanly when it matters. The B95 brake designation means it fits skis with a waist up to 95mm — not wider. Boot sole compatibility covers ISO 5355 A (standard alpine) and GripWalk ISO 23223 A; it does not accept touring-specific soles (Dynafit, GripWalk Tour, or MNC-only boots). Stack height is 19mm, weight is 1,245g per half pair, and the mounting zone is deliberately short to keep swing weight down.

If you are a lighter skier (below roughly 70kg) or a strong intermediate who has never needed a DIN above 8 or 9, this is not the right binding: the minimum DIN of 6 starts higher than what most recreational skiers need, and you will pay $430 for retention engineering that is working against you rather than for you. Consider the Pivot 12 GW instead, which covers DIN 4–12 and suits a broader range of body weights and skiing styles. Equally important: if your ski has a waist wider than 95mm, the B95 brake will not clear the ski and you need the B115 version of this same binding.

That DIN ceiling is the number that matters most on the shelf: it covers most intermediate-to-advanced skiers, and as a rough illustration it lands a moderate-to-aggressive skier somewhere in the 75–85 kg neighborhood — but DIN is set by a technician from your weight, height, boot sole length, age and skier type, not from bodyweight alone, so treat that as a ballpark, not a self-diagnosis. The turntable heel rotates directly beneath the tibia and delivers 28mm of elastic travel, which is a lot for an alpine binding — it absorbs edge-hit vibration before it decides whether to release, which translates to meaningfully fewer unwanted pre-releases on variable snow. The Full Action toe adds 45mm of elastic travel and releases through 180° of directions, not just laterally. On boot soles, it accepts standard Alpine (ISO 5355) and GripWalk (ISO 23223) soles only — GripWalk boots mount without an adapter, but it does NOT take touring (ISO 9523) or rockered tech\/pin soles, so a dedicated touring boot will not work here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis binding is a strong fit for an intermediate-to-advanced all-mountain or freeride skier — someone who wants real Pivot retention and shock absorption without paying for DIN range they will never use.

And if your calculated DIN sits below 4, you are a lighter recreational skier and this binding will be over-spec on the release-force floor; a lower-DIN binding fits you better. The bigger thing to get right is brake width, because the Pivot 12 GW comes in several: the B95 brake fits skis with an underfoot waist up to roughly 100–105mm, the B105 is the one for skis in the ~100–110mm range, and the B115 is for the widest waists. A brake should sit no more than about 10–15mm wider than your ski's waist — too wide and it drags, too narrow and it won't clear.

That turntable heel is the binding's defining feature: instead of a standard pivot point, the heel piece rotates directly under your tibia, giving you 28mm of elastic travel at the heel and 45mm at the toe. In plain terms, that means the binding absorbs shock and deflects without releasing — so when you stomp a landing, catch a buried edge, or take a hard bump hit, the binding loads and rebounds rather than firing you out of your skis. The 2.0 update brings a Posi-Drive adjustment screw on the heel (replacing the old flat-head, which was a frustration for field adjustments), widened turntable arms for cleaner GripWalk boot engagement, rubber bumpers on the heel tower to protect the finish from ski edges and pole tips, and a new 105mm brake option added to the lineup. The B95 in this SKU tells you the brake is 95mm wide — best matched to skis with a waist between 85mm and 100mm. Boot compatibility covers both Alpine ISO 5355 and GripWalk ISO 23223 A soles; it does not accept touring (WTR\/GrandAlpin) soles, so it is not an AT crossover option. Stack height is 19mm, weight is 1,245g per half pair — neither featherlight nor a boat anchor for a binding at this performance tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis binding is built for heavier, more aggressive, or expert-level skiers whose DIN setting genuinely falls in the 8–18 range. If you are a lighter skier, a newer skier, or someone whose certified DIN falls below 8, this is the wrong binding — a DIN minimum of 8 means it may not release when it should in a real fall, and that is a serious safety concern. Look's own PIVOT 2.0 13 (DIN 4–13) or PIVOT 2.0 15 (DIN 6–15) cover those lower and mid-range DIN needs with the same turntable geometry and GripWalk compatibility. The B95 brake also means this specific binding is not the right fit for skis with a waist significantly narrower than 85mm (brakes will drag) or meaningfully wider than about 100mm (brakes won't clear the ski edge cleanly under the boot); Look offers B75, B105, B115, and B130 brakes in the 2.0 18 GW to match wider or narrower waists. One real-world note on the Pivot platform in general: boot entry and exit requires attention — any snow packed in the toe or heel will cause pre-releases, and the binding's engagement is silent, so you need to actively confirm your boot is locked in. If you ski hard, land big, and your DIN and brake width line up, this is one of the most proven retention systems in alpine skiing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDIN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8-18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,245g per binding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrake Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75-95mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStand Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSole Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine + GripWalk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpert\/racer — maximum DIN 18 for aggressive skiing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Look","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48835903914279,"sku":"FCNPA06","price":359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/800x600_1949353_FCNPA06_PIVOT2.018GWB95_BLUESTEEL_72DPI_01_product_thumbnail.jpg?v=1721111802"},{"product_id":"pivot-2-0-15-gw-b105-bluesteel","title":"Pivot 2.0 15 GW B105 Bluesteel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Look PIVOT 2.0 15 GW is the current generation of the binding that's been the go-to for serious freeride and big-mountain skiers for years — updated with a widened toe arm, improved heel bumpers for durability, and a shorter mounting zone for more direct energy transfer. Its defining tech is still the combination of a full-metal aluminum race toe piece with 45mm of lateral elastic travel and the classic turntable heel, which provides 28mm of vertical elastic travel and pivots directly under the tibia. That heel design is what sets the Pivot apart from a standard heel-and-toe setup: when you catch an edge or get bucked at speed, the binding absorbs and returns energy rather than dumping you or pre-releasing. The DIN range of 6–15 handles a wide band of aggressive skiers by weight and ability — roughly from a lighter expert skier up through a large, powerful, high-aggression expert or former racer. The B105 brake width is sized for skis with a waist between roughly 95mm and 115mm; you want the brake tips clearing the ski edge cleanly, so match it to your ski's waist width. Boot compatibility covers both traditional Alpine (ISO 5355) and GripWalk (ISO 23223 A) soles — but not MNC or touring soles, so tech\/frame touring boots won't work here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis binding is built for advanced to expert skiers who ski hard and want retention confidence at high speed, on variable snow, or in the backcountry-accessed freeride zone. The all-metal toe and the Pivot heel are heavier than many alternatives (around 1,245g per binding), and the DIN minimum of 6 means lighter, less-aggressive skiers or kids should not use this binding — it won't release safely at the low end for a lighter recreational skier. If you're an intermediate skier, or an expert skiing a narrower ski with a waist under 90mm, look at the PIVOT 2.0 13 (DIN 4.5–13, brakes in 75\/95\/105\/115mm, lighter plastic Full-Action toe piece, roughly 1,050–1,120g) — it covers the same turntable heel feel with a lower DIN range and lighter weight better suited to moderate aggressors. Equally, if you're stepping into 130mm-plus powder skis, Look makes the B115 and B130 brake variants of this same binding — don't try to spread a 105mm brake to fit a 120mm waist ski.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDIN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6-15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,245g per binding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrake Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95-105mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStand Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSole Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine + GripWalk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-metal Race toe + Pivot turntable heel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpert freeride — DIN 15, 105mm brake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Look","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48835913679143,"sku":"FCNPA08","price":359.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/800x600_1949355_FCNPA08_PIVOT2.015GWB105_BLUESTEEL_72DPI_01_product_thumbnail.jpg?v=1721112095"},{"product_id":"pivot-2-0-18-gw-b105-bluesteel","title":"Pivot 2.0 18 GW B105 Bluesteel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Look Pivot 2.0 18 GW B105 Bluesteel is a full-metal freeride binding built around Look's turntable heel — a design that's been refined over decades and still holds a real functional edge. That turntable heel rotates directly under the tibia and delivers 28mm of elastic travel, which means the binding absorbs impacts and hard landings without pre-releasing. The all-metal RACE aluminum toe piece adds another 45mm of horizontal elastic travel and offers a 180° multi-directional release, not just lateral. Together, those two numbers add up to a binding that stays locked in through the rowdy stuff — big compressions, chop, variable landings — and releases predictably when it matters. The DIN range runs 8 to 18, which covers heavy, aggressive, expert-level skiers who need high retention. The B105 brake fits skis with a waist between roughly 95 and 105mm. Boot sole compatibility covers both standard Alpine ISO 5355 and GripWalk ISO 23223 A soles — so most modern ski boots will mount cleanly, but touring\/tech soles will not. Stack height is 19mm at the heel, 18mm at the toe — nearly flat ramp angle, which freestylers and switch riders tend to prefer. Weight runs 1,245g per half pair, which is honest for all-metal construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis binding is built for heavy, hard-charging skiers — think 85kg and up, aggressive intermediates to experts who pound variable snow, ski steep terrain, or land with real force. The DIN minimum of 8 is the key caveat: if your calculated DIN setting is below 8, this binding cannot be safely adjusted down to release for you. The closest step-down in the same turntable family is the Pivot 2.0 15 GW (DIN 6-15) — but note its floor is 6, not 4, so it still won't suit a skier whose chart puts them well under 6. For lighter or less aggressive skiers, the Pivot 2.0 13 GW (DIN 4.5-13) reaches a meaningfully lower floor while keeping the same heel system; below that, you're into a different binding line entirely. The B105 brake is equally important: if your ski's waist is narrower than 95mm or wider than 105mm, this specific brake package is a misfit and you'll need to source a different brake width — Look offers the Pivot in other brake widths (B75 through B130) for exactly this reason.

The toe carries 45 mm of elastic travel — that's the spring energy that holds your boot during a sketchy landing and then lets go cleanly when the fall actually demands it. The heel's turntable rotates directly under the tibia rather than pivoting laterally from the side, which means it tracks with you through twisting, tomahawking falls instead of fighting your leg. That same turntable gives the heel 28 mm of elastic travel, so vibration and chatter get absorbed at the binding rather than transmitted straight into your knee. DIN range is 6–15, which covers a broad swath of heavier, more aggressive skiers — think 160–220+ lbs skiing hard on steep or technical terrain. The B115 brake is sized for skis with a waist width in the 105–115 mm range. Boot compatibility covers both standard Alpine ISO 5355 soles and GripWalk ISO 23223 A soles, so modern rockered-sole boots work fine here — but note this is not an MNC or touring-sole binding, so it won't take a tech-insert or WTR\/touring sole. Weight is 1,245 g per half pair — not featherweight, but this is a retention-first binding built from metal, and you feel that rigidity underfoot in a good way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis binding is for advanced to expert skiers — people who ski hard enough that pre-release from a lesser binding is a genuine concern, whether that's steep couloirs, heavy landings in the trees, or aggressive all-mountain skiing on demanding snow. If you're in that DIN 10–15 territory because of body weight, aggression, or both, the Pivot 2.0 15 is the benchmark. However, if your DIN setting sits below 8, the minimum of 6 still fits you on paper, but you're paying a significant weight and price premium for a ceiling you'll never use — the PIVOT 12 GW covers DIN 4–12 and is a better match for lighter or more moderate skiers. The B115 brake is also specifically sized: put it on a ski with a 90 mm waist and the brakes will drag in the snow; put it on a 125 mm waist ski and they won't catch on a runaway. If your ski's waist is roughly under 105 mm, the B95 brake is the correct one; if it's wider than 115 mm, step up to the B130 (which covers up to about 130 mm). Get the brake width wrong and you either have dragging metal or brakes that don't stop your ski — both are real problems, not minor inconveniences, and it's worth confirming the exact brake on receipt before mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDIN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6-15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,245g per binding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrake Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105-115mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStand Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSole Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine + GripWalk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpert freeride — DIN 15, wide brake for fat skis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Look","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48835922526503,"sku":"FCNPA07","price":343.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/800x600_1949355_FCNPA08_PIVOT2.015GWB105_BLUESTEEL_72DPI_01_product_zoom_1.jpg?v=1721112288"},{"product_id":"pivot-2-0-15-gw-b95-bluesteel","title":"Pivot 2.0 15 GW B95 Bluesteel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Look PIVOT 2.0 15 GW in B95 is the binding that built Look's reputation — and this updated version refines it without losing what made the original iconic. It runs a DIN range of 6–15, so it covers a wide band of skier weight and aggression, but the floor of 6 and the ceiling of 15 mean it's calibrated for advanced and expert adults who ski hard and ski fast. What sets the PIVOT apart is the turntable heel: instead of a conventional heel cup that fights lateral movement, the heel rotates directly under your tibia and delivers 28mm of elastic travel — far more than most alpine bindings give you. Combined with 45mm of elastic travel in the all-metal RACE toe piece and a 180-degree multi-directional release, the result on snow is a binding that absorbs massive impact and chattery variable snow without pre-releasing, while still releasing cleanly when you actually fall. The B95 brake fits skis with a waist up to roughly 95mm — ideal for most all-mountain and light freeride shapes. Boot compatibility covers Alpine ISO 5355 and GripWalk ISO 23223A soles. It does not take touring (MNC\/WTR\/ISO 9523) soles. The stack height is low and the mounting footprint is short to preserve ski flex, and the heel DIN adjustment has been redesigned on the 2.0 to be easier to set in the field.

The PIVOT's reputation in bump skiing and high-consequence freeride lines is earned: the long elastic travel is why it holds when lesser bindings don't. That said, there are three situations where you should skip this one. First, if your ski's waist is wider than 95mm, you need the B105 or B115 version — running an undersized brake risks dragging a tip in deep snow after a fall, which is a real hazard. Second, if you ski at a DIN below 6 — lighter adults, many women, beginner-to-intermediate skiers — the PIVOT 2.0 15 GW is not the right tool; you want a binding with a lower DIN minimum (look at the Look NX or SPX line) so it releases when it needs to. Third, if you need touring sole compatibility (Salomon Shift, Dynafit-compatible tech, or WTR\/MNC), this binding won't accept those boots — Look's Pivot is alpine and GripWalk only. If the B95 brake and a DIN of 6–15 fit your skis and your profile, this is one of the most proven retention systems available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDIN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6-15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,245g per binding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrake Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75-95mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStand Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSole Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine + GripWalk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpert carving\/freestyle — DIN 15, narrow brake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Look","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48835924918567,"sku":"FCNPA09","price":359.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/800x600_1949355_FCNPA08_PIVOT2.015GWB105_BLUESTEEL_72DPI_01_product_zoom.jpg?v=1721112446"},{"product_id":"pivot-15-gw-b105-super-edition","title":"Pivot 15 GW B105 Super Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Look PIVOT 15 GW B105 Super Edition is Look's all-metal freeride binding built around the turntable heel mechanism the brand has refined for decades. That turntable heel is the binding's defining feature: rather than a conventional heel cup that resists lateral movement until it snaps open, the Pivot's heel rotates under your tibia, absorbing torsional stress in real time. The result is 28mm of elastic travel at the heel and 45mm at the all-metal race toe — significantly more than most competing bindings — which means the binding stays closed through hard landings and off-axis hits instead of pre-releasing, then releases cleanly when you actually need it to. The toe piece offers 180° multi-directional release and an independent upward release function that works on its own, not as a byproduct of lateral motion. Boot sole compatibility covers traditional Alpine ISO 5355 and GripWalk ISO 23223 — not touring or tech soles of any kind.

If your calculated DIN setting comes out at 4 or 5 — lighter skiers, kids, or cautious intermediates — this is the wrong binding: the springs are calibrated for a higher-force threshold, and you will not get safe release at low DIN values. That skier belongs on a Pivot 12 or a more entry-level option. On the other end, very heavy or extremely aggressive skiers who legitimately run DIN above 15 should step to the Pivot 18 GW, which runs 8–18 with heavier-duty springs. The Super Edition is the same binding mechanically — the distinction is a full metallic colorway finish, not upgraded internals. If your ski waist runs 110mm or wider, look at the B115 or B130 brake variants instead of this B105.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDIN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6-15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,245g per binding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrake Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95-105mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSole Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine + GripWalk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpert freeride — Super Edition finish, DIN 15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Look","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48835929669927,"sku":"FCNPA10","price":343.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/800x600_1949357_FCNPA10_PIVOT15GW_B105_SUPEREDITION_72DPI_01_product_thumbnail.jpg?v=1721112527"},{"product_id":"spx-13-gw-ski-bindings","title":"SPX 13 GW Ski Bindings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Look SPX 13 GW is Look's workhorse all-mountain binding built around two pieces of genuine engineering: a Full Action toe with 45mm of lateral elastic travel and 180-degree multi-directional release, and an SPX heel with 27mm of vertical elastic travel. In practical terms, that elastic margin is what separates a binding that chatters you loose on a rough groomer from one that holds you through it — the SPX 13 absorbs impact and deformation without pre-releasing, then returns energy back into your boot rather than dissipating it. The DIN range runs 4–13, which covers a wide swath of skiers from lighter intermediates up to heavier, more aggressive advanced skiers who need the upper end of that scale. Boot compatibility is dual-standard: it accepts both traditional Alpine soles (ISO 5355) and GripWalk soles (ISO 23223), so if you're on a modern boot with a rockered GripWalk sole you don't need to look elsewhere. Brake widths run B80, B90, B100, and B110 — match the brake to within about 15mm of your ski's waist width. Weight comes in at 1110g per half-pair, which is on the heavier side of this category; it's not a weight-weenie binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis binding is well-suited for confident intermediate through aggressive advanced skiers who spend most of their time on-piste or in all-mountain terrain and need retention and shock absorption over light weight. That said, there are clear cases where it's the wrong call: if your DIN setting sits above 13 — heavy skiers, very aggressive Type III skiers, or expert big-mountain riders — step up to the Look Pivot 14 GW or Pivot 18, which offer higher DIN ceilings and the Pivot's turntable heel for even longer elastic travel and deeper retention. On the other end, if your calculated DIN setting is in the 3–6 range, the minimum-DIN-4 floor on the SPX 13 is not a problem in the middle of the range, but a lighter skier or beginner who genuinely belongs on a DIN 3 would be better served by the Look NX 10 GW or NX 11 GW, which are tuned for lower release values and easier entry. The SPX 13 GW also does not accept touring or tech boot soles — if you're mixing resort and backcountry in the same boot, this is not your binding; look at a dedicated MNC (multinorm) option instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDIN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,110g per binding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStand Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSole Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine + GripWalk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComposite + metal FDC toe, SPX oversized-pivot heel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdvanced — higher DIN for aggressive all-mountain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Look","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 80","offer_id":50258609635623,"sku":null,"price":223.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/fcnas00_spx13_gw_b90_black.jpg?v=1753717536"},{"product_id":"spx-11-gw-ski-bindings","title":"SPX 11 GW Ski Bindings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Look SPX 11 GW sits between Look's entry NX series and the premium Pivot, pairing the Full Action toe from the NX 11 with Look's SPX heel in a single unit. The Full Action toe gives you 45mm of lateral elastic travel and a true 180° multi-directional release — in plain terms, the toe wing stays in contact with your boot longer before it decides to let go, which means fewer frustrating pre-releases on rough snow while still releasing when you actually need it to. The SPX heel adds 27mm of vertical elastic travel through an oversized pivot, so it's absorbing the short, sharp shocks — moguls, hardpack chatter, a bad edge catch — and keeping your boot seated rather than bouncing it loose. DIN range is 3.5 to 11, which covers lighter adults and aggressive juniors who generate real edge pressure but don't need the higher retention ceiling of a 13 or 15 DIN binding. Boot compatibility is dual-standard: traditional Alpine ISO 5355 and GripWalk ISO 23223 soles both click right in. Brake widths come in two versions — B90 (for skis with roughly 80–90mm waists) and B100 (90–100mm waists) — so match the brake to your ski's waist, not your boot size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis binding is a good fit for an intermediate-to-advanced skier in the 130–185 lb range who wants more elastic travel and retention than an entry NX offers without paying for a Pivot. It's also the right call for lighter advanced skiers whose DIN setting falls in the 5–9 range and who want a binding that won't pre-release underfoot. Who should look elsewhere: if you're a heavier or more aggressive skier whose shop-calculated DIN setting lands at 11 or above, you're at the top of this binding's range and the SPX 13 GW (DIN 4–13) is the more appropriate choice — running a binding at its maximum DIN setting leaves no headroom. Likewise, if your ski has a waist wider than 100mm, neither brake width fits safely and you'll need a wider-braked option. This is also not a touring or walk-mode binding — it takes Alpine and GripWalk soles only, not MNC or AT soles, so it won't work with tech-insert or touring boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDIN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5-11\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,110g per binding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStand Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSole Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine + GripWalk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComposite + metal FDC toe, SPX oversized-pivot heel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermediate-Advanced — versatile all-mountain binding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Look","offers":[{"title":"Purple Black \/ 90","offer_id":50258620088615,"sku":null,"price":183.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/fcnas19_spx11gw_b100_PurpBlk.jpg?v=1753717920"},{"product_id":"pivot-2-0-13-gw-ski-bindings","title":"Look PIVOT 2.0 13 GW Ski Bindings 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Look Pivot 2.0 13 GW is the updated version of one of skiing's most recognizable bindings, now with a DIN range of 4.5–13 — meaning it covers skiers from lighter intermediates up through aggressive advanced riders who don't need to push past 13 on the release scale. The headline tech is the heel: Look's turntable mechanism rotates directly under the tibia axis, giving you 28mm of heel elastic travel, which Look rates as one of the largest heel-travel figures of any alpine binding. On snow that translates to genuine shock absorption through chunky snow, variable pack, and hard landings without the binding pre-releasing when you don't want it to. The toe adds another 45mm of multi-directional elastic travel with 180° release. For the 2026 version, Look upgraded durability — widened heel arms, added heel-guard bumpers, and made the heel DIN screw easier to turn — and swapped the flat-head adjustment screws for Posi-Drive, with the heel lever zone extended so you don't catch fingers during step-in. Boot compatibility covers traditional Alpine soles (ISO 5355) and GripWalk (ISO 23223 A) — the two most common sole standards — but this is not an MNC\/multinorm binding, so touring or tech soles don't fit.

Who should not buy this: if your DIN setting consistently needs to be set above 11 or 12 — typically heavier, very aggressive, or race-oriented skiers — the Pivot 2.0 13's max release value won't hold you securely in a hard charge, and you want the Pivot 2.0 15 GW (DIN 6–15, aluminum toe, $100 more) instead. Also worth noting: the 13 GW's toe piece is a plastic Full-Action toe, not the aluminum Race Aluminum Toe found on the 15 GW — it's a real durability difference if you're hard on gear or ski significant vertical.

That turntable heel isn't marketing: it physically rotates under your tibia during a fall, giving you 28mm of vertical elastic travel and a multi-directional release that very few other bindings match. The metal-bodied Full Action toe adds another 45mm of lateral elasticity, which means the binding flexes and returns rather than pre-releasing when you hit a rut or a hard landing. GripWalk and Alpine ISO 5355 soles both work — just confirm the sole type with your boot fitter before you mount. Brake options run B75, B95, and B105, so you can match it to anything from a narrow carver up to a mid-fat all-mountain ski around 105mm at the waist. Weight is 1,010g per half-pair, and the short mounting footprint keeps the ski's natural flex intact underfoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis binding is right for intermediate to advanced skiers who fall under the DIN 11 ceiling — think lighter-weight adults, progressing skiers, women, and teens who ski hard but don't need maximum retention values. If you're a heavier or more aggressive skier who routinely runs DIN settings above 9 or 10, do yourself a favor and look at the PIVOT 2.0 13 GW instead; the 11's release values top out where the 13 starts to breathe, and buying down in DIN range for a lighter mount is not worth the tradeoff in safety. On brake fit, the rule is simple: pick a brake equal to or just wider than your ski's waist, and no more than about 15mm over it — so the B105 suits skis up to roughly 105mm underfoot, the B95 up to about 95mm, and so on. A brake that's too narrow won't clear the ski at all, so size it to your actual waist width before you order.
