Considering slopestyle and street phenom Alex Hall skis a signature Pivot 2.0 15 GW, it's safe to say this binding has a cult following in the freestyle world. That's thanks to its elastic travel and unique rotating heel piece that swivels around the tibia's axis for 180 degrees of multi-directional release, making awkward ejections from hard impacts less likely to injure your knees.
The durable, metal toe piece delivers 45 mm of elastic travel, and the turntable heel adds 28 mm of vertical travel. That's far more than what most freeride bindings offer out back and it's what absorbs a flat landing to keep you in the binding when you'd otherwise pre-release. With a DIN range of 6-15, it's built for advanced skiers throwing bigger tricks in or out of the park.
