22/23 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A binding with a very wide adjustment range that balances high-speed carving, low-speed agility, board feel and impact absorption well. It's a particularly good choice if you struggle to get boots and bindings to fit together.
The frameless ankle strap is very flexible at the edges and firm in the middle, so it grips where it should and gives where it should. Pairs with boards 5–7.5/10 flex.
