{"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","url":"https:\/\/933534.myshopify.com\/products\/pivot-15-gw-b115-forza-3-0","provider":"PTO SKI \u0026 Snowboard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
