Description
The Look Pivot 12 GW Ski Bindings are a classic and highly regarded choice among dedicated skiers worldwide. Known for their reliability, consistent release, and superior retention, these bindings offer a range of features that contribute to their performance. Here's a breakdown of the key features and specifications of the Look Pivot 12 GW Ski Bindings:
Features:
- 180˚ Multi-Directional Release: The toe piece features a true mechanical upward release that operates independently from the heel. This design provides effective multi-directional protection in the event of a fall.
- Full Action Toe | 45 mm Elasticity: The Full Action toe piece offers 45mm of elastic travel and 180⁰ multi-directional release. This results in excellent retention, release, and increased coupling strength between the boot and binding interface for optimal power transmission.
- Dual Standard Concept: The binding is compatible with both ISO 5355 Alpine and GripWalk soles. Look has reinforced the toe housing, elongated the toe-wings, and made other adjustments to ensure compatibility with both standards.
- Toe Lateral Elasticity: The toe piece offers 45mm of lateral elasticity, enhancing the bindings' ability to absorb shocks and vibrations.
- Turntable Heel: The unique turntable heel design rotates directly under the tibia, reducing the risk of injury. It also provides 28mm of elastic travel for effective shock absorption and reduced pre-release.
- 28mm Vertical Elasticity: The heel offers 28mm of vertical elasticity, which is among the highest of any binding on the market. This elasticity helps prevent unwanted pre-releasing.
- Smaller Mounting Zone: The Pivot 12 features the shortest mounting zone of any alpine binding, resulting in less swing weight, improved response, and a more consistent ski flex.
- 7 Points of Contact: More points of contact with the boot enhance lateral energy transmission, delivering more power to the ski's edge. This results in superior control, response, and snow feel.
- Ski Compatibility: The recommended brake width is equal to or at most 15mm wider than the ski's waist width.
- Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced
- DIN / Release Value Low: 4
- DIN / Release Value High: 12
- Boot Sole Type: Alpine DIN (ISO 5355), GripWalk (ISO 23223)
- Warranty: 1 Year
The Look Pivot 12 GW Ski Bindings offer a combination of performance, safety, and reliability, making them a popular choice for skiers who prioritize classic design and superior retention.
