Armada Declivity X 102 testski's incl strive 13

The Armada Declivity X 102 test ski package with Strive 13 bindings is aimed at freeride enthusiasts looking to explore off-piste terrain. As a test ski, it gives riders a chance to experience Armada’s approach to float and stability in a variety of snow conditions without committing to a full retail set.

With a 102 mm waist width, the Declivity X 102 offers solid flotation in softer snow while still holding an edge on firmer snow. The EST Freeride Rocker profile—slight rise in both tip and tail—helps initiate turns more smoothly and boosts maneuverability when the terrain gets variable. The included Strive 13 bindings provide a reliable connection to the ski, balancing retention and release for confident descents.

The sidecut dimensions of 135/102/125 mm (tip/waist/tail) create a versatile turning shape that blends stability at speed with responsiveness in tighter arcs. A turn radius of 18 m means the ski naturally follows medium-radius turns, making it easier to transition from one carve to the next. These features combine to give a straightforward and predictable feel, whether you’re threading through trees or running open faces.
