A binding that strikes a good balance: very light without feeling rattly. The ankle strap is excellent, but the toe strap is its weak point — it doesn't fit boots well and either won't tighten past a point or ratchets back out. The reviewer's point is that when the toe isn't held properly you end up over-tightening the ankle strap and hurting your foot. There's no stance width adjustment, so the board's insert positions become your stance (unlimited on Channel boards).

Good

  • Very light without feeling rattly
  • Excellent ankle strap
  • The highback rotates particularly well, and even forward lean adjusts without tools
  • The highback is medium flex overall, which works broadly

Not so good

  • The toe strap doesn't fit boots well and won't tighten all the way — its biggest weakness
  • Limited range for centring the boot in the binding and on the board
  • No stance width adjustment (on standard insert boards)
