A binding that handles both high-speed carving and relaxed low-speed turns well. Board feel isn't top-tier, but reviewers rated the turning and carving feel highly. It's especially suited to anyone who wants to maximise impact absorption — if chatter tires you out quickly, if you jump and land all day, or if you tolerate vibration less well as you get older. Pairs with boards 4–7/10 flex.

  • Good sense of control through turns

Not so good

  • Board feel isn't top-tier

An unusual highback that's stiff at the bottom and soft at the top (the two are colour-coded). It can't rotate, but the top twists easily, which compensates. The stiffness at the bottom supports the response, and overall it's a medium flex. Impact absorption is excellent. The sway bar does create a pressure point when paired with soft-soled boots, though.

Good

  • The highback's differing top and bottom stiffness makes twisting easy while keeping the response
  • Excellent impact absorption
  • On the light side (around 900 g each)

Not so good

  • The sway bar creates a pressure point when paired with soft-soled boots
  • The highback doesn't rotate
