2026 Salomon QST X Skis with Tyrolia Attack 14 MN Bindings

The 2026 Salomon S/Lab QST X with Tyrolia Attack 14 MN Bindings is a creative freeride ski with a big personality and even bigger ambitions. Built for speed, slashes, and sendy lines, the QST X brings Salomon’s athlete-driven S/Lab innovation to skiers who blur the line between charging hard and expressing style. We paired the QST X 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:

The QST X isn’t just wide—it’s wide with intention. It delivers the float and power you’d expect from a ski this size, but with an energetic, slashy feel that makes it surprisingly playful. If you want a ski that doesn’t just keep up with you but actually inspires your line, this is it.

Who it's for:

Aggressive freeriders with a creative edge. Whether you’re boosting cliffs, threading lines between pillows, or just looking for a freeride platform that feels as expressive as it is stable, the QST X fits the bill. Ideal for directional skiers who want to go fast but don’t want to sacrifice fun.

Highlights:

At 116 mm underfoot, the QST X is built to float through soft snow and charge through chop. A Karuba-poplar wood core keeps the ski impressively light, while carbon and flax laminates deliver damping and edge grip without deadening the feel. Its double sidewall construction—made with 100% recycled ABS—enhances precision and durability. With a long turn radius and supple yet supportive flex, this ski thrives in wide open terrain, letting you stay composed at speed while remaining agile enough for quick direction changes. The Attack 14 GW’s FR PRO3 Toe contains a generous 30 mm of elastic travel. This provides a smooth and confident feel when tracking though variable snow, while also recentering the boot to its neutral position extremely well to keep you locked in, acting almost like a suspension system. The NX FR Heel has even more 16 elastic travel at 16mm, which further aids in preventing the dreaded pre-release. These cammed heel pieces also make stepping into and out of bindings super easy, even in deep snow.

Things to consider:

This ski loves to go fast and big. Its flex and shape make it better suited to playful skiers who prefer straighter lines with slashes mixed in, and less ideal for those seeking turny or ultra stiff ski.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The QST X runs true to size. Skiers looking for top-end stability and float should size up, while more playful riders or those prioritizing maneuverability in techy zones might opt to size down slightly.
