https://snowboardingprofiles.com/bataleon-astro-fullwrap-bindings-reviewA stout freeride binding built to drive stiff boards hard. It supports riding fast and laying carves in deep. Low speed isn't bad, but it's clearly meant for fast, aggressive riding, and board feel is decent for something this stiff. That said, mounted on a 5/10 flex board the binding overpowered it and made the board twitchy — 7–9/10 boards are the right match.
