Why do park skiers love the Look Pivot 15?

The turntable heel gives 28mm of elastic travel, so a hard landing is absorbed by the binding rather than driven into the release mechanism. That is the mechanism they are buying. It is not a promise the binding will never let go — no binding can make that promise, and your release setting is a technician's calculation from your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type, not a number you pick.

Is there a difference between the Pivot 15 Forza 3.0, Super Edition, and Gold?

No mechanical difference — same binding, different colorways and brake widths. Pick based on your ski width and color preference.

Description

The Look PIVOT 15 GW B105 Super Edition is Look's all-metal freeride binding built around the turntable heel mechanism the brand has refined for decades. That turntable heel is the binding's defining feature: rather than a conventional heel cup that resists lateral movement until it snaps open, the Pivot's heel rotates under your tibia, absorbing torsional stress in real time. The result is 28mm of elastic travel at the heel and 45mm at the all-metal race toe — significantly more than most competing bindings — which means the binding stays closed through hard landings and off-axis hits instead of pre-releasing, then releases cleanly when you actually need it to. The toe piece offers 180° multi-directional release and an independent upward release function that works on its own, not as a byproduct of lateral motion. Boot sole compatibility covers traditional Alpine ISO 5355 and GripWalk ISO 23223 — not touring or tech soles of any kind. The B105 brake width fits skis with a waist width roughly between 90mm and 105mm; pair wider than that and you risk brake contact with the snow on edge.

This is a DIN 6–15 binding, which covers most advanced and expert skiers who ski at a genuine high level but don't need the extended range of the Pivot 18. If your calculated DIN setting comes out at 4 or 5 — lighter skiers, kids, or cautious intermediates — this is the wrong binding: the springs are calibrated for a higher-force threshold, and you will not get safe release at low DIN values. That skier belongs on a Pivot 12 or a more entry-level option. On the other end, very heavy or extremely aggressive skiers who legitimately run DIN above 15 should step to the Pivot 18 GW, which runs 8–18 with heavier-duty springs. The Super Edition is the same binding mechanically — the distinction is a full metallic colorway finish, not upgraded internals. If your ski waist runs 110mm or wider, look at the B115 or B130 brake variants instead of this B105.

The classic. The Pivot 15's turntable heel has 28mm of elastic travel in the heel and 45mm in the toe. That travel is the mechanism park skiers and big mountain riders are buying: it lets the binding absorb a hard landing instead of passing that force straight into the release mechanism.

Be clear about what that does and does not mean. Retention and release are a trade-off, not two things a binding maximises at once — no binding holds through every impact and still lets go every time it should. DIN is a reference number, not a measured release value and not a safety guarantee. Yours is calculated and tested by a technician from your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type.

It's heavier than competitors like the Marker Griffon or Salomon Strive, but that mass is structural — the full-metal construction is built to take abuse. Available in Forza 3.0, Super Edition, and Gold colorways — all mechanically identical. Pick whichever matches your ski.

Best For

Advanced to expert skiers who ski hard — park, big mountain, aggressive all-mountain — and want a binding built around elastic travel and metal rather than low weight.

Not For

Lightweight or casual intermediate skiers who'd be better served by the Pivot 12 or an SPX at lower weight and cost.
