The 2025 Head Oblivion 84 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings is a freestyle twin setup known for its strong presence in slopestyle competitions and viral freestyle videos. With a robust and stable build coupled with a freestyle shape, this ski excels in park environments and is ideal for big air and heavy rail impacts. It offers a great balance of park and all mountain performance, making it ideal for park competitors, summit-to-park freeriders, or anyone seeking a narrow twin tip that doesn’t compromise on trail performance. We paired the 84 with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.

Why we like it:

The Oblivion 84 stands out thanks to its specialized design, boasting a sturdy flex pattern and durability that surpasses many other narrow twin tips. Its minimal rocker, lack of taper, and near-symmetrical sidecut enhance its performance for competition and high-impact tricks.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert freestyle skiers who prioritize durability and stability and regularly compete will find the Oblivion 84 particularly well-suited to their needs.

Highlights:

The ski features Head’s Superlite Sandwich Cap Construction with a wood core, graphene, and fiberglass, which provides exceptional torsional stiffness and responsiveness. UHM C Bases ensure durability, able to withstand significant impacts. Tuff Wall/Edge technology enhances durability with reinforced ABS sidewalls and thicker edges, while the Independent Suspension System (ISS) uses elastomers in key areas to dampen vibrations and absorb shocks. The PNP Rocker profile, consisting of about 30% rocker and 70% camber, offers excellent edge grip, precision, and pop. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission

Things to consider:

The Oblivion 84 leans towards a stable and composed feel rather than playful, so skiers who enjoy buttering and pressing might find it less suited to their style. Other twin tips might better cater to those looking for a softer, more flexible option.

Fit & sizing considerations:
