The 2027 Atomic Maverick 96 CTI with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is a directional all-mountain ski built for strong skiers who want precision and composure across varied terrain. It sits in the middle of the Maverick lineup, offering a balanced blend of edge hold, stability, and off-trail versatility. We paired the Maverick 96 CTI 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:

It feels planted and confident when conditions are firm, yet remains maneuverable enough for trees and mixed snow. There is a calm, predictable quality to the way it enters and exits turns.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert skiers who prioritize control, edge grip, and versatility. It is ideal for those who ski aggressively on trails but still consistently venture into bumps, trees, and softer snow.

Highlights:

Carbon and titanal elements reinforce the wood core to raise torsional rigidity and damping, which translates into stronger edge hold and better stability at speed. A directional shape with moderate tip rocker keeps turn initiation smooth while maintaining effective edge contact on firm snow. A 96 mm waist provides enough platform for light powder without sacrificing quickness from edge to edge. 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:

Adding metal to the construction brings confidence but also weight compared with lighter all-mountain options. It is less forgiving for skiers who prefer a very relaxed, centered stance.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Most skiers should stay on their standard number here. Tighter terrain makes a slight drop tempting, but aggressive skiers will want the stability the full length provides.
