{"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. Lighter skiers, beginners, or anyone whose DIN chart puts them below 8 should not be on this binding, period.\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\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\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpert\/racer — DIN 18, wider brake for all-mountain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Look","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48835917480231,"sku":null,"price":343.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/800x600_1949352_FCNPA05_PIVOT2.018GWB105_BLUESTEEL_72DPI_01_product_thumbnail.jpg?v=1721112185","url":"https:\/\/933534.myshopify.com\/products\/pivot-2-0-18-gw-b105-bluesteel","provider":"PTO SKI \u0026 Snowboard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
