Aluminum ratchets: A more durable option to plastic or steel ratchets, they are just as light as plastic, but a lot more durable. The teeth that grab the ladder strap also won't wear down as fast, so the ratchet is less likely to slip after frequent usage. Giant Ankle Strap: An oversized ankle strap spreads the force over a greater area, helping eliminate any pressure points, and provides a solid interface between the boot and binding. Quick Adjust Straps: No tools are needed to make basic adjustments to the strap(s) of this binding. Even though most resorts have a bunch of tools next to the lifts, its nice having the ability to fix or tighten them mid run. Baseplate Cover: The baseplate has a foam flap reinforced with plastic that covers the disc and hardware. This helps in preventing ice build up, provides a nice flat surface for the boot, and has some cushion to it for added comfort. Aluminum heelcup: Aluminum is used as the heelcup of this binding to add strength and durability. It is a spot that is subject to a lot of abuse during aggressive riding and throwing the board in the back of a pickup, so aluminum increases the durability. Anatomical Baseplate: All this means is there is a designated left and right binding that match the shape of each boot better. High Grade plastic baseplate: This strong baseplate won't crack or break even under pressure from hard falls or huge jumps. 4 Hole Disc: This binding has the standard 4 hole pattern to fit any snowboard, except Burton. Tool-less Forward Lean: The highback position can be adjusted without tools. Forward for more aggressive riding and quicker response time, back for more flexibility and comfort for park and all around riding. High Grade Plastic Highback: A nice high back built to give you comfort and response, and built to take some punishment and keep ticking. Padded Baseplate: Some padding on the baseplate to get extra cushion between the boot and the binding that absorbs shock from big jumps or vibrations from choppy terrain. Included Parts: Included with this binding is a set of screws to attach the board (don't worry, its easy- all boards are predrilled), a small stomp-pad, and a safety leash. Toe Ramp Adjustment: Before the binding is installed, the toe ramp can be adjusted to customize the binding to fit your boot type and size. |
