2026 Ride Specter Snowboard Bindings
The 2026 Ride Specter bindings are built to strip away everything unnecessary and leave only what matters most—lightweight, high-performance freestyle control. Designed around the A-Series aluminum chassis and paired with a new minimalist nylon highback, the Specter flexes seamlessly with your board for true freestyle feel. Its newly engineered ankle strap blends urethane structure with soft cushioning for comfort under pressure, while the diecut basepad, shockpad, and minimalist toe strap reduce weight without sacrificing board feel or dampening. These bindings are also shaped to integrate cleanly with Ride boots for a better anatomical fit.
Who are these bindings best for?
Designed for freestyle-focused riders who want a lightweight, medium-soft binding with clean flex, comfort underfoot, and total boot integration.
