https://snowboardingprofiles.com/rome-katana-aw-fase-bindings-reviewA binding that gives you quick entry while feeling like an ordinary two-strap once you're riding. Compared directly against the Blaster AW FASE from the same family, reviewers call it the stiffer version: similar board feel and impact absorption, but clearly more carving support. It suits riders who enjoy side hits, ollies, presses and low-speed riding but want a bit more carving muscle.

Good
- ✓Quick entry while keeping a two-strap riding feel
- ✓Clearly better carving support than the Blaster AW FASE
- ✓It hasn't given up board feel or impact absorption
- ✓Enough give that side hits, ollies and presses still work
Not so good
- —It isn't an ultra-stiff freeride binding — not enough for riding pushed to the limit
