Tech Specs

Flex

• Medium-Stiff Flex (8/10) – Designed for powerful all-mountain riding, this flex profile offers instant edge-to-edge response and locked-in control at higher speeds. Ideal for carving, technical terrain, and riders who like a responsive feel without going full stiff.

Auto-Entry System

• Supermatic® Auto-Entry – Step in through the back, push down on the heel pedal, and ride. Pull the release lever to exit.
• Dual Entry – While the Supermatic is built for automatic entry, it still rides and adjusts just like a classic binding. Use the ratchets anytime you prefer manual strap-in—perfect for variable terrain or fine-tuning your fit.
• Slip Plate – UHMW panel reduces friction during entry/exit and sheds snow with ease.

Flex Control Drive Plate

• Magnesium Fiber Drive Plate – BMBW builds the bottom of their bindings like a snowboard—layering fiberglass and composite materials to control how the binding flexes underfoot. This creates a smoother, more responsive ride that absorbs vibration and gives you better board feel, especially when carving or landing.
• Drive Plate Flex Rating: 8/10 – A stiffer flex that delivers powerful edge control and high-speed response without feeling overly rigid. Ideal for all-mountain riders who like to charge.
• 3° Canted Footbed – Naturally aligns your stance for better leverage, reduced knee fatigue, and improved ollie power.
• Heelshock Pad – Built-in cushioning under the heel softens hard landings and reduces vibration on choppy terrain.

Straps + Buckles

• Dual Band Auto Ankle Strap – Soft – This strap features a two-part design: a flexible compression window for comfort and mobility, and a more supportive outer band for lateral control. It automatically tightens when you step in, offering a snug fit without pressure points and the same locked-in feel as a traditional strap setup.
• Flip Fit Toe Strap – The low-profile toe strap molds around any boot shape and includes a flip adjustment to customize how it grips—stock position for most boots or reversed for a more centered fit on bulky models.
• LSR 2.0 Buckles – Second-generation Slap Ratchets automatically lock into place with each click, giving you instant tension and the option to ride it like a traditional two-strap setup anytime.

Highback

• Solid Power Highback (8/10) – Responsive design with seamless power transfer for aggressive all-mountain riding.
• The Cube – Fastest tool-free lean adjuster in snowboarding. Simply spin the urethane Cube to dial in your angle (10°, 14°, 18°, or 22°) with built-in dampening and visual indicators.
• Auto Highback + Strap Closure – When you step on the heel pedal, the highback lifts and both straps close simultaneously for a secure fit without touching a thing. Just one motion locks everything in place.

Chassis

• Auto Chassis – Built from the ground up to support the Supermatic® system, this chassis features integrated heel pedal mechanics, an auto-triggering highback, and reinforced materials to handle repetitive step-ins without compromising strength. It maintains a low-profile design for better board feel and centers your stance without the need for extra hardware.

Compatibility

• Offset Multi-Disk – Compatible with 2x4, 4x4, and Channel™ mounting systems. No additional hardware needed.
• No Special Boots Required – Works with any snowboard boot brand, size, or model. There's no proprietary boot system—just step in and go.
