pinkcamo1000all bindings feel super different from pivots. that's why they have such a cult following
BigPurpleSkiSuitI will agree that the pivots just feel more precise. Dont know why, but they do. not that attacks are bad per say, but it's the difference between using a butcher's knife and scalpel
pinkcamo1000I agree, it's kinda funny though because your feet actually move around way more in pivots
DolanReloadedI used to have pivots and i didnt like the mushy feeling in the heel. If you have any doubts about tyrolia attack^2s then watch evan mceachran and colby stevensons runs riding on attacks in the vid below. The neutral and super low stack height seems to work very well. Whatever problems ppl have with attacks seem to be an adjustment issue bc they work awesomely for evan and colby

BigPurpleSkiSuitBiggest reason I like attacks on my skis. When I crash I dont have to feel like I need to make my own groomer to clip back in

air.bubbleStop being such a corporate shill, evan and colby are paid to ride those bindings and the difference in stack height between attacks and pivots is 1 mm lmfao
DolanReloadedIm pretty sure most pros ride whatever bindings they are most comfy with. I dont think k2 and tyrolia have any relationship, so that might be why colbys attack2s mounted on his k2 poachers were black and unassuming. Theres lots of relationships in the ski business. For example tyrolia obv has a relationship with fischer and 4frnt and head bc they produce attacks with 4frnt graphics and attacks with fischer graphics and attacks with head graphics. So mceachran is riding basically in house bindings that work well with the tyrolia head corporate structure and his bindings were bright neon yellow and black at xgames. Head/tyrolia wanted everybody to know evan was riding their attacks.
colbys attacks were black and hard to make out, im assuming because k2 and tyrolia arent in any sort of relationship. Last time i checked colby wasnt even listed on the tyrolia sponsored athletes list on their site.
the winner of this years knuckle huck and slopestyle at xgames is riding tyrolia attack2s... and he isnt even on tyrolias team webpage... think about that.
k2 might have even asked colby to switch to a binding manuf. that has a relationship with k2 and he said flat out no way bc of how much he prefers attacks.
air.bubbleNot quite the way you think it is, i know for sure that colby is getting free bindings from tyrolia, so is sam zahner and bmile. I can almost guarentee that next season colby will officially be on the tyrolia team, same with zahner. Look at this past season, cody laplante was flow on tyrolias for 2 seasons i think then he "officialy" got sponsored this season
DolanReloadedI find it astonishing that colby isnt already plastered all over the fucking internet by ads showing “x games double gold medalist colby stevenson rides tyrolia attack 2s”
you think colby is going to ride a binding that isnt his favorite, because (kek, as you say) tyrolia gave him a single free pair of bindings?
thats ridiculous and you know it. If colby was given free bindings by tyrolia they wouldve given him the neon yellow or green ones like mceachran had to show off the attacks.
lets not forget, colby didnt just win this yrs xg slope. He murdered everybody.
the only person colby didnt murder was evan mceachran, who like i said was also riding tyrolia attacks.
chopchopIIRC '20 Attack 13 demos have 32mm stack height. They *look* low profile (that metal track is most sexy) but actual height is ~5mm higher than comps from Marker & Salomon. Pivot (14) '20 stack height is 18.5mm.
mystery3Are those to which you are referring 'AT' models? Those are significantly taller than the regular demo attacks but I think they're only like 24mm. 32mm would be huge stack height, like race binding spacer plate huge.
chopchopThat's right - this is the figure for the Attack2 AT Demo 2020 model. Thanks for pointing that out.
Is the non-AT demo even available any more?

patagonialukeI don't think they sell current Attack demos with the non-AT toe piece.
patagonialukeThat said, I barely notice a difference when I'm switching between the old Attack demos and the new ones, despite the taller AT toe piece.
chopchopI just verified this with Level 9 in SLC.
Nice to hear this from someone with street cred. Cy mentioned somewhere that y'all use these a lot when testing/reviewing.
