The 2027 DPS Kaizen 105 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is the wider-waisted big brother to the Kaizen 100, aimed at hard-charging skiers who want a do-it-all ski that refuses to get pushed around. DPS positions it as their closest answer to a one-ski quiver. We paired the Kaizen 105 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:

Full carbon construction and a longer turn radius give this ski an uncommon sense of stability for its weight. There is a planted, settled feel through the turn that carbon skis do not always deliver, and it opens the ski's terrain range considerably.

Who it's for:

The 105 is built for advanced and expert skiers who ski with intent. It fits those who want a single ski for most resort days, lean fast and aggressive, and expect real soft-snow capability without giving up firm-snow bite.

Highlights:

The 105 runs the same construction as the 100, so the story here is shape and attitude. A slightly wider waist and longer turn radius make it happier at speed and through bigger turns, and the rocker profile sits a touch flatter than the 100 for more edge contact and stability. It rewards a strong push: drive hard into the turn and it fires you out the far side, Rockwell 48 steel edges holding the whole turn. A 105 mm waist carries that power without getting shoved around, riding a World Cup Race Base that comes Phantom Glide treated for speed. 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:

The 105 asks more of you than the 100. A longer radius and stiffer overall feel want commitment, especially at lower speeds, so a relaxed style or a lot of time in tight terrain points back to the friendlier Kaizen 100.

Fit & sizing considerations:

True to its stated length, the 105 rewards confident skiers who favor big, fast turns.
