22/23 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A binding for anyone who wants a medium flex at a below-average price. It delivers decent performance without spending big.
Quick low-speed turns fell short of the reference binding (Malavita), while high-speed carving was on a similar level. The disc can be mounted horizontally or vertically, and mounting it horizontally lets you fine-tune stance width.
