The 2027 Armada ARV 106 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings returns with a familiar look as the quintessential freeride twin, blending freestyle roots with freeride capability. A wide waist gives it versatility across varied conditions, taking in park laps, powder stashes, cliff drops, and trees. We paired the ARV 106 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:

Balanced flex and a playful nature are what make the ARV stand out, and together they add up to a reliable choice for skiers who want to explore the entire mountain with a freestyle flair.

Who it's for:

Ideal for intermediate to expert skiers who appreciate a ski that can handle both park features and off-piste adventures, offering a responsive and lively experience.

Highlights:

A full poplar core with an ash binding insert delivers stability and pop without unnecessary weight. The AR Freestyle Rocker profile, rockered tips and tails combined with positive camber underfoot, ensures float in soft snow and energy for a dynamic feel. w3Dgewall sidewall construction improves durability and edge grip, while the 2.5 Impact Edge and S7 Base bring resilience and speed. A 106 mm waist sits under a flex profile with a slightly softer tip and stiffer tail, so the ride stays forgiving yet supportive across a range of skiing styles. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

Versatility is where the ARV excels, but that softer tip can feel less stable at high speeds in variable conditions. Skiers seeking a more damp and planted ride might consider the ARV 106 Ti variant.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size, and because this is a soft snow focused ski, sizing up between sizes is common practice for upper advanced and expert skiers. Less experienced skiers should stay true to size or slightly shorter for more control and maneuverability.
