Know before you buy
The turntable heel rotates directly under the tibia, which provides superior shock absorption and helps prevent unwanted pre-releases. This design is highly regarded for its elasticity and ability to maintain a consistent connection to the ski during aggressive maneuvers.
Yes, the Pivot 15 is fully compatible with both standard ISO 5355 alpine soles and GripWalk ISO 23223 A boot soles.
The Pivot 15 offers a slightly lower maximum release setting than the Pivot 18, making it a more versatile choice for a broader range of expert skiers who don't require the extreme 18 DIN setting. It retains the same robust aluminum construction and performance characteristics as the higher-rated model.
The raw finish is an aesthetic choice that gives the binding a distinct, industrial look. Because it is unpainted, it may show minor surface variations or develop a unique patina over time, which does not affect the structural integrity or performance of the aluminum components.
No, the Pivot 15 is a dedicated alpine binding designed for resort skiing and hard-charging performance. It does not offer a walk mode or the necessary features for uphill travel.
The aluminum toe piece provides increased durability and a more rigid, responsive connection between your boot and the ski compared to plastic alternatives. This ensures more precise power transmission when you are skiing at high speeds or in demanding terrain.
