23/24 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The strongest binding for riding fast, carving, and for when you need support and control on bumpy terrain. It isn't the very stiffest and retains a little forgiveness, but it's clearly mid-stiff or above.
The highback twist is asymmetric, far stiffer on the inside than the outside. Pairs with boards 6–9/10 flex.

25/26 · 24/25 · 23/24 · 22/23 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
Stiffer and more responsive than the Atlas, at the cost of less vibration damping and impact absorption. The highback is clearly stiffer than the Atlas's — the Atlas gained a channel in its highback that made it easier to twist with more lean-back, and this one doesn't have that.
The reviewer says they prefer the Force and Atlas's extra give because of calf bite, but adds that it isn't bad by high-end binding standards.
