Ride Men's A-4 Snowboard Bindings (Past Season) A-SERIES ALUMINUM CHASSIS: The A-Series Chassis provides the reactive flex and power transfer of aluminum underfoot. The extruded aluminum heel-cup provides ultimate toe heel response. The A-Series Chassis was designed to be less rigid that previous designs allowing the aluminum to flex more under the rider’s weight allowing for a much more reactive ride. Because the Chassis is 100% aluminum, it is narrower than nylon or plastic chassis allowing the board to flex more freely from tip to tail. NYLON HIGHBACK: Traditional Highback material that offers a predictable mix of response and comfort. ONE-PIECE ANKLE STRAP: Designed for comfort and durability. The single material strap provides response and comfort in a utilitarian package that wastes nothing MINIMALIST TOE STRAP: Designed to offer maximum performance and durability with minimum weight and distraction LINKAGE RATCHET: Designed to improve ladder durability and eliminate ratchet wag, resulting in a smoother user experience with the same hold you expect. CANTED FOOTBED: An ultra-light footbed that uses subtle angles to align the ankles and knees to a more natural and comfortable position. The angle also gives leverage to press the board for huge pop, without affecting your preferred stance width. A-SERIES DIECUT BASEPAD: A minimalist EVA pad that sits under the binding to damp out vibrations. PLASTIC DISC: The plastic disc offers more lateral flex than aluminum for the rider that is focused on comfort and flex over hard charging performance RIDE BINDING TECHNOLOGY: We didn’t set out to reinvent the binding—we set out to perfect it.
