All-Mountain - An all-mountain binding is the true all-rounder of the range. Its combination of a medium to medium-stiff flex, good cushioning and sufficient freedom of movement provides control and comfort across almost the entire mountain. The binding responds directly when you pick up speed but remains forgiving enough for relaxed cruising and occasional park laps. Do you want one binding for groomers, powder and the occasional freestyle run? Then an all-mountain binding is the best choice for you.
Park - Park bindings provide extra freedom of movement and cushioning for freestyle riding, jibbing and absorbing landings. They usually have a soft to medium flex, flexible materials and sometimes lower sidewalls, making presses, butters and tweaks easier. Cushioning in the footbed and highback helps absorb impacts from rails, side hits and jumps. Do you want a playful binding for the park or creative riding across the entire mountain? Then choose a park binding.
Freeride - Freeride bindings are designed for speed, technical lines and changing snow conditions. They are generally stiffer and more responsive than all-mountain bindings, allowing every movement to be transferred to the snowboard quickly and precisely. Lightweight, durable materials and a supportive highback provide additional control in steep terrain, tracked-out snow and deep powder. Are you looking for maximum control and confidence off-piste and do not mind a less forgiving feel? Then a freeride binding is the right choice for you.
Surf - Surf bindings are designed for a loose, natural riding style with plenty of freedom of movement. Their flexible construction allows your ankles and knees to move freely, creating a smooth feel through turns and letting you steer naturally with your entire body. They are ideal for powder boards, slashes, banks and playful lines but provide less support for aggressive carving and high-speed riding. Is flow, freedom and a surfy feel through your turns what you are looking for? Then a surf binding is the right choice for you.
Carve/Boardercross - Carve and boardercross bindings are built for maximum response, stability and direct power transfer. They feature a stiff baseplate and highback and often incorporate carbon, aluminium or other rigid materials. This transfers every movement precisely to the snowboard’s edges, even at high speed and under heavy loads. Are you looking for maximum edge hold and precision for deep carves, fast groomers or a boardercross course? Then a Carve/Boardercross binding is the right choice for you.
Alpine - Alpine bindings are rigid plate bindings specifically designed for hardboots and alpine snowboards. Metal bails secure the boot at the toe and heel, although brand-specific step-in systems are also available. The almost flex-free connection provides maximum edge pressure, precision and control for slalom, race carving and high-speed riding. Alpine boots and bindings are not compatible with regular softboots. Are you looking for the most direct power transfer for technical carving on groomed slopes? Then an alpine binding is the right choice for you.
