26/27 season review
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.
