The Best Bindings of 2026
Oct 1, 2025
The Look Pivot 18 has long been the binding of choice for aggressive freeskiers who demand precise retention. The new Pivot 2.0 updates the classic design without compromising what has made it a cult favorite. New this season, the 2.0 heel piece has a Phillips-head DIN screw for easier adjustment, a 15-mm boot sole length range for swapping boots without a remount, and reinforced heel bumpers for better handling of edge abuse. You still get the signature, turntable heel for multi-directional release, 45 mm of elastic travel in the toe and a stout DIN range of 8 to 18. It’s available in a full range of brake widths—from 95 mm, all the way up to 130 mm. At 1,245 grams per binding, it’s not exactly a lightweight, but the Pivot 2.0 is for skiers who spend their time shredding, not counting grams.
