Flex
- 5/10 – A medium flex that balances response and forgiveness, perfect for cruising, carving, side hits, and all-around mountain versatility.
Baseplate
- Boron Fiber Flex Control Drive Plate – A lightweight poly core is layered with boron fiber and eco-sublimated topsheets, creating a responsive yet smooth flex underfoot. Fiberglass panels in the footbed mirror the dynamics of your snowboard for enhanced feel and control.

- Dynamic Composite Response – The composite layering generates energy and rebound, making every turn feel alive.
- Unibody Chassis – Durable single-piece polymer chassis that absorbs vibration and keeps the ride smooth. Includes adjustable toe ramp and Large Axis Disk for centering.
Highback
- Performance Polymer Nylon Highback – Built for all-mountain comfort and control, this highback uses a medium flex nylon formula that’s perfect for a wide range of conditions.
- Love Handle – Large cored-out section makes it easy to carry or tweak grabs.
- The Cube – Fastest tool-free forward lean adjuster in snowboarding. Choose from four preset angles (10°, 14°, 18°, 22°) with built-in dampening for smooth transitions.
Straps
- Power Flex Ankle Strap – Features a structural EVA foam core with a flexible perimeter for comfort and mobility. The shape reduces pressure points while maintaining solid heel hold and response.
- Light Form Toe Strap – Lightweight, low-profile toe strap that forms precisely over your boot’s toe box for secure fit without bulk.
Buckles
- Forged Aluminum Buckles – Built strong and smooth, these are lightweight, durable, and perform reliably even in the coldest conditions.
