The strongest binding for riding fast, carving, and for when you need support and control on bumpy terrain. It isn't the very stiffest and retains a little forgiveness, but it's clearly mid-stiff or above. The highback twist is asymmetric, far stiffer on the inside than the outside. Pairs with boards 6–9/10 flex.

Good
- ✓Excellent power and control at speed and in carves
- ✓Good support on bumpy terrain
- ✓Not the very stiffest, so a little forgiveness remains
- ✓The highback's differing inside and outside stiffness responds differently by direction
Not so good
- —Not a fit for beginners or relaxed cruisers
- —You have to push hard to get its performance out
- —Overkill on soft boards (5/10 and below)
Stiffer and more responsive than the Atlas, at the cost of less vibration damping and impact absorption. The highback is clearly stiffer than the Atlas's — the Atlas gained a channel in its highback that made it easier to twist with more lean-back, and this one doesn't have that. The reviewer says they prefer the Force and Atlas's extra give because of calf bite, but adds that it isn't bad by high-end binding standards.
