The AL-8 is made for all mountain performance. Designed for a snowboarder that demands the most from their equipment. If you liked the way the Fame binding rode, you will love the AL-8. The A-Series Aluminum Chassis provides the reactive flex and power transfer of aluminum with less rigidity than previous designs. The TPU basepad damps out high-speed vibrations. The Three-Piece Ankle Strap combines foam and two different density plastics for comfort, durability, and performance. The AL-8 comes with a pair of aluminum mount discs and a pair of composite mount discs for versatility; use the aluminum disc for precision and control or the composite disc for a softer more playful feeling. The canted footbed aligns your joints with a 2.5 degree angle while providing more leverage over the tip and tail of your board. Integrated rubber pods make for an even smoother ride. The AL-8 is designed for customers seeking all-mountain performance and the precise feel of aluminum.
