The redesigned 2025 Liberty Helix 99 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings is an all-mountain freestyle twin setup that brings enhanced energy and pop with its updated shape and flex pattern. While its core DNA remains intact, the ski now features longer tip and tail rocker and a more progressive flex, expanding its versatility. This results in a highly capable twin tip that extends its park prowess to all corners of the resort. We paired the Helix 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 Helix 99’s improved versatility makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a responsive and energetic all-mountain twin. Its wider body offers more freestyle focus compared to the Scope 94 and 104, enhancing its performance both in the park and across the mountain.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert freestyle skiers looking for a wider twin tip that excels not just in the park but throughout the entire mountain will find the Helix 99 ideal.

Highlights:

Featuring a bamboo and poplar wood core with carbon fiber, the Helix 99 offers a progressive flex pattern that balances agility and playfulness in the park with support and stability for resort-wide exploration. The increased tip and tail rocker compared to its predecessor enhances maneuverability, making it especially adept in softer snow and technical off-piste terrain. 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:

While the Helix 99 bridges the gap between freestyle and freeride, it leans more towards the park side of performance. Skiers focused more on freeride or all-mountain skiing might find other twin tips better suited to their needs.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.
