A light, budget binding at around 900 g each. The highback is medium flex, twists easily and has generous lean-back. Heel loop adjustment lets you centre the boot in the binding. It uses a mini disc plus EVA foam, but not much of it, so flex underfoot falls short of the Neo, Strata and Ultra — though it's clearly better than full-size-disc models like the Force. A strength is that the response is symmetrical heel to toe.

Good
- ✓Light and low-priced
- ✓Heel loop adjustment lets you centre the boot in the binding
- ✓Symmetrical heel-to-toe response — in contrast to many bindings that are slow on the toe side
- ✓Flexes underfoot better than full-size-disc models
Not so good
- —No gas pedal adjustment
- —The toe strap can't be adjusted without tools
- —Being a mini disc, it doesn't fit 40 mm-spaced setback inserts
- —Flex underfoot falls short of the higher models (Neo, Strata, Ultra)
