The Binding:

The Atomic Strive 12 GW is an alpine binding designed for limitless     performance across all terrains. Lightweight and versatile, it's the     perfect introduction to freeskiing, allowing you to ski with  precision    and confidence wherever you go. The low center of gravity  LDN Toe    enhances snow feel, delivering faster response and better  turn  control.   The adaptive toe ensures easy step-in, automatically   adjusting to your   boot's height and width for consistent release   values. A slightly  ramped  chassis provides a more neutral stance,   while the super light  3-part  heel ensures effortless entry and   reliable performance. Despite  being  one of the lightest DIN-12   bindings, the Strive 12 GW maintains   durability by reinforcing key   areas with metal, resulting in a   responsive, all-mountain binding   built for strong, all-day skiing.
