2026 Armada Declivity 92 Ti Skis with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings
The 2026 Armada Declivity 92 Ti with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings delivers a powerful and precise ride for skiers who love the feel of carving clean turns on firm snow but still want the versatility to navigate off-trail when conditions allow. This ski-binding combo takes the Declivity’s frontside focus and enhances it with a responsive, secure platform that thrives at speed and grips firm snow with authority. We paired the Declivity 92 Ti with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.
Why we like it:
We’re fans of how the Declivity 92 Ti combines the best of both worlds—race-level edge grip and stability with an all-mountain shape that doesn't punish you when conditions soften or tighten up. It’s a confidence-inspiring ride that stays composed when the throttle is wide open.
Who it's for:
This setup is ideal for advanced and expert skiers who demand strong edge hold and a composed feel when the speeds climb. Frontside-oriented skiers who occasionally seek off-trail fun will find the balance of power and agility ideal for high-performance all-mountain skiing.
Highlights:
Armada’s EST All Mountain Rocker sets the tone with a rockered tip, camber underfoot, and a semi-flat tail that lets you initiate and release turns smoothly while maintaining control and composure. The full Poplar Core keeps things energetic and nimble, while the Articulated Titanal Banding (ATB) delivers damping and grip through high-speed turns. The AR100 Sidewall and 2.1 All Mountain Edge lock the ski into the snow, providing torsional stiffness and durability, while the Comp Series Base ensures glide and resilience season after season. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission
Things to consider:
This ski’s metal laminate and directional construction favor strength and speed over forgiveness. Lighter skiers or those preferring a more relaxed, playful ride might find it a bit demanding, especially in bumps or tighter trees.
Fit & sizing considerations:
The Declivity 92 Ti skis true to size. For skiers prioritizing maneuverability , or for those who prefer shorter turn shapes, sizing down slightly is a good option. Those chasing speed and edge hold should stick to their usual length for maximum stability.
