A binding for freestyle and playful low-speed riding. It's especially good for slashes. On the other hand, deep aggressive carving at speed isn't its thing, so it doesn't suit someone who pushes hard all day. Pairs with boards 3–6/10 flex, and best at 4–5/10.

A binding with excellent impact absorption. Two clear weaknesses are flagged, though: it has no adjustment range at all, and it causes arch pressure when paired with soft-soled boots.
