Updated for 2025, the Armada Declivity X 108 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is a freeride ski designed for aggressive, full-throttle skiing. Tailored for the modern freerider, it excels in high speeds, steep slopes, and big airs. Whether you're a big-mountain competitor or seeking an all-conditions destroyer with a creative edge, this ski delivers. We paired the 108 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

Among the 108 mm underfoot category, the Declivity X 108 stands out for its smoothness and satisfaction. It encourages charging at maximum intensity while inviting creativity—ideal for wide open spaces and inspiring confidence for ambitious maneuvers.

Who it's for:

The Declivity X 108 is best suited for experts and high-end advanced skiers who can fully appreciate its capabilities. Less experienced skiers may find it less enjoyable.

Highlights:

Powered by a poplar wood core and Armada’s Articulated Titanal Banding X laminates, this ski offers exceptional energy and pop. Titanal laminates ensure dampness and torsional stiffness for stability at high speeds. Significant tip rocker facilitates easy turn initiation and maneuverability in soft snow, while slight tail rocker maintains engagement in turns and allows quick pivoting in tight situations. The Attack 14 GW’s FR PRO3 Toe contains 30 mm of elastic travel which provides a smooth and confidence inspiring feel when tracking though variable snow while also recentering the boot to its neutral position extremely well to keep you locked in, acting almost like a suspension system. NX FR Heel pieces have 16 mm of elastic travel which assists in prevent false-releases. These heel pieces also make stepping into and out of bindings with ease, even in deep snow.

Things to consider:

This ski demands aggressive skiing and substantial input to perform optimally. Lighter or less aggressive skiers might find other options more suitable. Its longer turning radius means that ample space is required to fully access its capabilities.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Sizing is fairly true to size and depends on intended use. Freeride competition skiers or aggressive skiers should opt for longer lengths. Skiers preferring tighter spaces or a more laid-back style may consider sizing down slightly.
