Ski bindings might not get the same attention as skis or boots, but they're the critical connection between the two—and the right binding can change how a ski feels. For 2027, we're seeing everything from timeless designs that have earned a loyal following to new-school constructions focused on getting you closer to the ski and improving power transfer. Here, we've highlighted a couple that caught our attention this season. Beyond those, we've rounded up a selection of other 2027 bindings worth knowing about, whether you're building a new setup or simply looking to upgrade.
Look Pivot 2.0 15 GW
A classic for a reason. Some ski gear comes and some goes. The Look Pivot certainly is one that keeps earning its place on the mountain and as a personal favorite. The Pivot 2.0 15 keeps the legendary turntable heel and all-metal Race toe that have made it a favorite among aggressive skiers, freeriders, and park riders for decades. Its generous elastic travel helps keep you locked in when you need it, while the compact mounting zone gives the ski room to flex naturally beneath your feet.
For 2027, LOOK didn't reinvent the wheel, just fine-tuned the formula with improved heel durability and adjustability while maintaining the unmistakable Pivot feel. The result is a binding that feels solid, predictable, and seriously connected—exactly what you want when you're pushing your skis and asking a lot from your setup. It's not the lightest binding on the hill, and it doesn't need to be. The Pivot is built for skiers who prioritize confidence, precision, and a binding they can trust season after season.
Marker Griffon X Mwerks 13
For 2027, Marker took the familiar formula for the Griffon binding and completely reworked it from the ground up. The Griffon X M.Werks 13 sits on Marker's new low-profile X-Series platform, putting you just 9mm above the ski at the toe and 14mm at the heel. What does that mean? That lower stance brings your boot closer to the ski for a more direct connection, quicker edge engagement, and a noticeably more responsive feel.
Underneath it all, magnesium components in the toe and heel add strength and rigidity to the compact design. The integrated brake helps keep the binding short while allowing the ski to flex more naturally beneath your feet. With a 4–13 DIN range and compatibility with both Alpine and GripWalk boots, this isn't just a lighter version of the Jester. The Griffon X M.Werks is a fundamentally different-feeling binding—low, compact, precise, and incredibly connected to the ski. If you like to push your equipment and want every bit of performance out of your setup, this one deserves a look.
