What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying"I've ridden a lot of bindings that pile on features to justify the price tag. The Bond takes the opposite approach and it's refreshing. The Module Chassis lets you actually feel the board underfoot, the footbed is noticeably thicker and more dampened than what I've ridden before, and the Team Highback has just enough give to keep your legs fresh at the end of a long day. It's a binding that gets out of your way and lets you ride."Who It's ForIntermediate to Advanced All-Mountain Riders:The Bond is for riders who want a binding that performs without overcomplicating things. The stiffer flex (7/10) gives confident riders the response they need to drive their board, while the relaxed Team Highback keeps things comfortable enough for all-day use. It suits riders who spend time across the whole mountain and want a binding that keeps up without weighing them down - literally or figuratively. What It's ForAll-Mountain Riding with a No-Frills Performance Focus:The Bond is built for riders who want to feel connected to their board across every type of terrain.

Why We Like ItSmart Materials, Cleaner Conscience, Better Ride:What sets the Bond apart is how much thought went into the materials. Castor Bean-based components maintain mechanical properties across all temperatures and cut CO2 emissions by 40 to 70 percent compared to TPU. Harshmellow(TM) dampening components are sustainably sourced from sugar cane and reduce CO2 emissions by 90 percent compared to EVA. The Regrind basepad components are made from 30 percent reground factory rubber, optimizing energy transfer and reducing disco foot. The result is a binding that's genuinely better for the environment ...
