Who it's for: Intermediate to advanced freeride and all-mountain skiers who want a lightweight, low-profile chassis with premium shock absorption. It is the perfect choice for riders looking for direct ski-to-snow feedback and dependable boot retention within a manageable 4-12 DIN range.

Lightweight Agility, Low-Profile All-Mountain Control

The Salomon STRIVE 12 GW packs the low-profile tech and deep elastic travel of Salomon's high-tier freeride line into a lighter, highly nimble layout. Utilizing an advanced LDN Toe piece, it drops your stance height close to the snow to lower your center of gravity, translating into lightning-fast edge response and an incredibly sensitive underfoot feel. It delivers up to 47mm of lateral elastic travel to smoothly absorb unexpected shocks and high-frequency vibrations without causing pre-releases. Built for pure versatility, it handles everything from morning groomers at Silver Star Mountain Resort to soft bumps at Big White.

• LDN Low Profile Toe: Places your boot sole right down against the ski topsheet to maximize power transfer and enhance your overall terrain feedback.

• 4-12 DIN Release Scale: Perfectly calibrated for progressing intermediate up to hard-charging advanced skiers who do not require heavy, high-DIN springs.

• 47mm Lateral Elastic Travel: High-performance elastic displacement that dampens harsh terrain impact, keeping you confidently locked down at speed.

• Extra-Wide Toe Pedal: A wide contact platform that maximizes lateral leverage, giving you superior control on modern all-mountain and mid-fat skis.
