2026 Salomon QST X Skis with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings
The 2025 Salomon QST X with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is a cutting-edge lightweight powder setup influenced by both athlete feedback and past and present Salomon models like the QST Echo and QST 118. This new ski is designed to venture deep into the backcountry, conquer the steepest lines, and charge aggressively down the mountain. It combines a drifty, smeary feel with directness and stability, allowing it to take you to new heights of adventure. We paired the QST X with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.
Why we like it:
The QST X stands out for its remarkable versatility, being exceptionally responsive while also being capable of confidently tackling straight lines down the fall line. Its lightweight design makes it an excellent choice for backcountry and big mountain exploration, opening up a range of exciting possibilities.
Who it's for:
This ski is ideal for advanced to expert freeride powder skiers who prioritize lightweight performance and maneuverability over pure chargeability.
Highlights:
Designed with touring in mind, the QST X features a karuba and poplar wood core to keep weight down, while ensuring responsiveness and energy. Salomon incorporates Flax Carbon Superlight Fibers throughout the ski to add energy and spring. To manage vibrations in variable snow, Cork Damplifiers are placed in the tips and tails, reducing vibrations and lowering swing weight for enhanced mobility. The ski also uses recycled ABS Sidewalls along its entire length, minimizing waste and adding a bit of sustainability to the ski. Additionally, Double Sidewall Technology underfoot offers extra stiffness and power transfer for improved grip and stability on variable snow. The Attack 14 GW’s FR PRO3 Toe contains 30 mm of elastic travel which provides a smooth and confidence inspiring feel when tracking though variable snow while also recentering the boot to its neutral position extremely well to keep you locked in, acting almost like a suspension system. NX FR Heel pieces have 16 mm of elastic travel which assists in prevent false-releases. These heel pieces also make stepping into and out of bindings with ease, even in deep snow.
Things to consider:
The QST X is less of a high-speed charger compared to the QST Blank. If you’re seeking maximum speed and a rounder turning style, the Blank may be a better fit. The QST X is better suited for straighter lines where skidding and slashing are involved.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These skis run true to size. For increased stability, consider sizing up if you’re between sizes. For greater maneuverability and agility, sizing down is recommended.
