25/26 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A 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.
