2027 Black Crows Octo Skis with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings

The 2027 Black Crows Octo with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings offers a refreshing take on modern carving, blending precision and playfulness into one sleek frontside package. Inspired by the Mirus Cor but designed with broader accessibility in mind, the Octo’s 84 mm waist and tight 14-meter radius make for a quick, nimble ride that thrives on creative edge angles and dynamic turns. We paired the Octo 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:

We love how the Octo delivers high-energy carving performance without requiring constant speed or aggressive input. It’s light, quick, and engaging—perfect for skiers who want to bring some fun and flair to their groomer game without feeling locked into race-mode.

Who it's for:

Geared toward intermediate to advanced skiers, the Octo is a perfect match for those who love short, snappy turns and want a ski that encourages experimentation and flow on the frontside. If you value quick edge-to-edge response and want to keep your carving smooth and creative, the Octo hits the mark.

Highlights:

At its core, the Octo features poplar wood and fiberglass laminates that give it a light, responsive personality. A modest rocker in the tip and a subtly tapered shape allow for effortless turn initiation, while the short radius enhances agility and invites playfulness. Whether you’re arcing tight turns on corduroy or navigating mild bumps, the Octo keeps things light, fun, and fluid. 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:

While incredibly nimble, the Octo’s lightweight build isn’t made for skiers who demand maximum stability or power at high speeds. It prefers moderate cruising and creative carving over flat-out charging.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Octo skis true to size. Choose your normal length for a well-balanced feel, or size down if maneuverability is your top priority. Size up slightly if you want more confidence at higher speeds.
