This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A binding worth recommending across a range of riding styles and boards. The whole baseplate is high-density rubber and the only actual contact is the mini disc, so the board flexes naturally from tip to tail.
A standout feature is that you can flip the ankle strap to choose between prioritising response or freedom. At speed the rubber base handles impact; at low speed the EVA footbed takes over.
