What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I’ve been riding the Stale edition of the Katana AW Fase and it feels like a precision tool. The Fast Entry System is smooth and automatic, but what really stands out is the surfy feel from the AsymWrap chassis. It’s responsive when I need power, but still playful enough to tweak grabs and press side hits all day."Born from years of innovation and designed with Ståle Sandbech, the Rome Katana AW Fase X Stale Snowboard Binding is the evolution of one of snowboarding’s most iconic models. By merging Rome’s lightweight, hyper-adjustable Katana platform with the all-new FASE Fast Entry System, this binding sets a new standard in speed, comfort, and performance. The AsymWrap chassis gives us a connected, surf-inspired feel that maintains edge-to-edge response for carving hard or sending big lines. Forged aluminum in the heel hoop adds lightweight strength, while AuxTech®-equipped straps stretch without pressure points for locked-in comfort. With the Auto Back closing automatically around the boot and straps designed to stay in place, stepping in and out is as fast as it gets—without ever losing the customized fit we demand. From freestyle laps to freeride descents, the Katana AW Fase X Stale is built to ride everything with confidence.
