Fun to see that they brought in a middle waist width.Quote:

that catalog has no change to the shift (as posted earlier in the thread). Also great to see that 110 bent chet too.
Apparently that’s the new sth toe, I think it’s around 200g lighter for the pair
EDIT: maybe it’s called the strive now?

That Strive toe looks a whole lot like a Shift toe that doesn't shift.
Those white walkers look interesting, haven't followed armada skis in a while but they look pretty damn straight.Quote:

I don’t get it. It looks like a High DIN Z toe binding. Automatic toe height adjustment, lighter weight, and GW compatible. What is the elastic travel? No more post and pivot toe?Quote:

One of the “features” says “directional shape” so I’m guessing wider 110.Quote:

I had a pro deal through Amer the last couple years. The cost savings are like 20% and the gear you want is not usually included in the deal.

This is what Mikaela and Goggia have been skiing on this year; Atomic men were about 50/50 on these at birds of prey last weekend, but I suppose it has more to do with running older speed skis that already have a binding. It's a marker Comp 30 toe, even the mount pattern and afd are identical. If I had to guess I would say they designed it for Hirscher since he ran markers on his atomics all the time and are just now getting it out there. I'm glad to see them move on from the VIST toe, but I have a hard time seeing this as an actual improvement.
Old news...Quote:

Mikaela was running them (new Atomics) back then too.
Oh man Bent Chet 110!!! The automatic 109 replacement I’ve been waiting for for years!! Pumped!
The new Salomon Strive toe is meant to be GW and Alpine only, price point option. No MNC.
Everyone on Atomic and Salomon are running old Marker bindings that are touched up cosmetically to look more like Atomic/Salomon binding. In reality it's old Marker binding. It's old news, as this is happening now for 3 or 4 years.Quote:

How bad does the Atomic race binding have to be to make old Markers your choice to replace it?
Most of the racers I know prefer the old marker race bindings to anyone else’s.
Re: Bentchetler 110; What took so long? This ski should have come out with the Bentchetler 100.
Hirscher started using the Marker EPS bindings in 2014 (as well as the Marker piston plates). He grew up skiing Markers on his Blizzards until he switched to Atomic. Mikaela maybe used them the year after. Atomic then essentially made their own version of the binding which is pretty much what all WC athletes use on their tech skis now if they ski on Salomon or Atomic. Speed is a different story. It’s all about energy transmission and grip. Those full metal AFD EPS bindings are like no other. Kristofferson is now using these markers on his GS and SL skis as well.
got a link? curious to learn more about this old marker EPS. internet has some entry level kid bindingQuote:

I agree with Sessiøn - Blogs should have been kept around - what a fun ski!

these are the 176s aka Tatums skis. The two longer lengths will each have their own graphic as well. Can't wait to see em - some new art is def needed after everything carrying over to this season. Especially hyped for the new M-Frees and how they will look :)Quote:

This has all been covered in a thread somewhere else.
Kristofferson is skiing Markers. Started at Soelden. Used them every race this year.
Fair enough, you're more well-traveled than I, this was the first I'd seen them. Still don't get what's wrong with the driver toe that absolutely anything is the better option.Quote:

I'll ask Francis to get us some close up photos of Hernrik's set up.
Attachment 396747
Yeah, he's definitely not skiing Looks. Not that it seems to be doing much for his results at this point.
Enough race nerd bullshit, when do we get a peek at the new LP 105?! LWS?
Go look at Reine Barkered's ig story.Quote:

It's true Atomic made copy of Marker some 3 years ago, but it's so bad noone in World cup is using it. Everyone are using Marker that are then sent to Atomic/Salomon where they try to make them look like Atomic/Salomon. But it's still real Marker binding not Atomic/Salomon copy of it.Quote:
