23/24 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A high-end medium-flex women's binding that balances playfulness against aggression well. It pairs with boards across the 4–7/10 flex range, covering most women's boards.
The EST version only mounts on Burton Channel boards, though — for standard insert boards you need the Re:Flex version. It's still on the stiff side for beginners and suits intermediates and above.
