Look PIVOT 2.0 11 GW B95 BLACK META Bindings

The Look PIVOT 2.0 11 GW B95 BLACK META is designed for intermediate to advanced skiers looking for an alpine ski binding that combines safety with quick release and power transfer. Building on the legacy of the iconic Pivot heel piece, this binding stands out for its design tailored for groomed runs, all-mountain skiing, and the park. Its dual-standard sole compatibility provides significant versatility for a wide range of modern boots. With a DIN range of 4–11, it precisely caters to the needs of dedicated skiers without reaching the extreme values reserved for competitors.

Multidirectional release and active safety

At the heart of the PIVOT 2.0 11 GW are two complementary components that define its behavior in the event of a fall. The Race Aluminum toe piece offers 45 mm of lateral elastic travel and true 180° multidirectional release, operating independently of the heel. This design ensures a consistent response regardless of the direction of force applied to the boot, reducing the risk of unintended release during normal dynamic movements while ensuring reliable release during an actual fall.

The Pivot Turntable heel piece complements this system with 28 mm of vertical elastic travel. It rotates beneath the shin, a design that promotes shock absorption at the end of the travel and minimizes false releases on rough terrain. Installation and DIN setting must be performed by a professional, who will determine the appropriate setting based on the skier’s weight, height, skill level, and sole length.

Sole Compatibility: Alpine and GripWalk

The PIVOT 2.0 11 GW B95 BLACK META is compatible with two distinct sole standards: the classic Alpine ISO 5355 standard and the GripWalk ISO 23223 standard. This dual compatibility allows it to be paired with both traditional alpine ski boots and newer models equipped with GripWalk soles, whose rounded profile makes walking easier. It is essential to verify the exact standard of your boots before any installation: sole incompatibility poses a real safety risk. The brake on the B95 model is 95 mm wide, a size suitable for skis with a waist width close to or slightly less than this value; the brake must extend slightly beyond the waist to ensure effective stopping.

Construction and Power Transmission

The front binding is made entirely of aluminum, a material that provides rigidity and precision in force transmission without adding weight to the assembly. Rolling Control technology contributes to efficient power transfer between the boot and the ski. The short mounting zone better preserves the ski’s natural flex and reduces swing weight—two factors that directly influence maneuverability in turns. The seven contact points between the binding and the sole maximize mechanical coupling, resulting in a more direct response to the skier’s inputs. The binding weighs 1,010 g per half-pair, a figure consistent with the aluminum construction of this line.

For intermediate to advanced skiers who enjoy all-mountain skiing, groomed runs, or the park, the Look PIVOT 2.0 11 GW B95 BLACK META is an alpine ski binding whose technical features—notably its generous elasticity, multidirectional release, and GripWalk compatibility—meet concrete safety and performance requirements for everyday use. It should be paired with skis whose waist width is compatible with a 95 mm brake to take full advantage of its power transmission qualities.
