Look Pivot 2.0 11 GW Ski Bindings

The PIVOT 2.0 11 GW is Look's entry point into the Pivot family — same turntable heel DNA that's been on World Cup skis for decades, now in a DIN 4–11 package built for skiers on the lighter or less aggressive end of the spectrum. That turntable heel isn't marketing: it physically rotates under your tibia during a fall, giving you 28mm of vertical elastic travel and a multi-directional release that very few other bindings match. The metal-bodied Full Action toe adds another 45mm of lateral elasticity, which means the binding flexes and returns rather than pre-releasing when you hit a rut or a hard landing. GripWalk and Alpine ISO 5355 soles both work — just confirm the sole type with your boot fitter before you mount. Brake options run B75, B95, and B105, so you can match it to anything from a narrow carver up to a mid-fat all-mountain ski around 105mm at the waist. Weight is 1,010g per half-pair, and the short mounting footprint keeps the ski's natural flex intact underfoot.

This binding is right for intermediate to advanced skiers who fall under the DIN 11 ceiling — think lighter-weight adults, progressing skiers, women, and teens who ski hard but don't need maximum retention values. If you're a heavier or more aggressive skier who routinely runs DIN settings above 9 or 10, do yourself a favor and look at the PIVOT 2.0 13 GW instead; the 11's release values top out where the 13 starts to breathe, and buying down in DIN range for a lighter mount is not worth the tradeoff in safety. On brake fit, the rule is simple: pick a brake equal to or just wider than your ski's waist, and no more than about 15mm over it — so the B105 suits skis up to roughly 105mm underfoot, the B95 up to about 95mm, and so on. A brake that's too narrow won't clear the ski at all, so size it to your actual waist width before you order. This binding also does not accept MNC or touring boot soles, so if you're running a tech-compatible or walk-mode boot with a different sole standard, it's not compatible — full stop.
