Description
Whether it’s all-mountain, freeride or freestyle skiing, the Atomic Strive 16 MN delivers a super stable platform that excels in every situation and snow condition. The low center of gravity of the LDN Toe places the binding closer to the ski for better next-to-snow feel, more direct response and quicker reaction throughout the turn. A low profile, 3-Part Heel absorbs vibrations while ensuring friction-free release when needed. The slightly ramped chassis positions the skier in a more neutral stance while preserving the natural flex and arc of the ski. Multi Norm certified, this binding works with all ISO norm ski boot soles – DIN, Touring and Walk To Ride (WTR). The Manual Toe Height Adjustment allows for instant adjustments between different boot norms quickly and easily. Robust and lightweight, Strive 16 MN shaves weight without compromising durability by using just enough metal where it’s needed most. Low, dynamic and neutral, this binding is most at home when its charging hard.

This new binding and specifically the toe piece is the result of Salomon looking to improve not regress. It offers excellent compatibility with the various toe lug shapes so it saves a lot of hassle and confusion when it comes to potentially picking another boot down the road. The toe offers an excellent blend of the elastic travel the STH toe was known for, but a similar lateral stiffness to the Warden MNC toe. Basically power transfer meets smooth sailing. It is slightly lower than the Warden toe stack height so you get the benefit of better snow feel on wider skis as well.
Great improvements

The new strive 16 brings the same confidence and performance of the MNC but is lighter and seems like its a bit more connected to the ski. The binding skis flat, without any noticeable toppling forward feeling.
Closer to the Ski Closer to the Snow

After getting a sneak peak and a couple days on the Strive 16 near the end of last winter. I really enjoyed skiing it on the all new QST 106 and comparing it to my older 106. The new strive I get a better on snow feel as I am closer to the ski and closer to the snow. The thing I love about all Salomon bindings is how easy it is to step in and the sound it makes. Once I am clipped I know I am ready for a fun time in the trees, bumps, park, groomers.
