The iconic Pivot gets a performance-driven update for 2026 with the all-new Pivot 2.0 platform. Now redesigned for improved boot compatibility, easier step-in, and better energy transmission, the Pivot 2.0 13 retains the unmatched elasticity and shock absorption that’s made it a favorite among freeriders, park skiers, and chargers for decades.

Why we like it:

This is the binding trusted by some of the hardest-charging skiers in the world and for good reason. The elasticity in the heel means fewer unwanted releases, more power, and more confidence when sending it.

Who it's for:

Aggressive all-mountain, freestyle, and freeride skiers looking for maximum retention, excellent power transfer, and proven durability. Ideal for anyone pushing the limits and relying on their gear to hold up and stay on.

Highlights:

The Pivot 2.0 update includes a wider AFD for better boot sole compatibility, new screws and metal inserts for added durability, and a larger SRS adjustment window. But it’s still the classic Pivot underneath, with 28 mm of heel travel and 180° multi-directional release to reduce the chance of pre-release and injury. The turntable heel rotates with your boot, maintaining consistent retention and improving lateral shock absorption which is a critical feature when stomping landings or skiing aggressively in variable terrain.

Things to consider:

This is a traditional alpine binding, so there’s no uphill compatibility—it's for downhill skiers only. And its pivoting heel design takes a bit more technique to step into compared to traditional heel pieces.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Available brake widths: 95 mm, 115 mm, and 130 mm. Compatible with GripWalk and traditional alpine boot soles.
