I live in a tropical country and of course there's any ski shop in here, so buying online (without try out anything) is my only option to take advantage on off-season deals.
I just got a 2014 Cobra and a pair of Blauvelt boots.
What's the best matching bindings to go with them?
Have used Unions and Cartels in the past. Now I'm considering the 2014 Diode. Please, share your thoughts. Tks. :thumbsup:
Diode is way too stiff for the Cobra IMO. I like a mid-flex binding on that board. Something along the likes of Flux TT, Cartel, or Union Force. Flux TTs are on my NS Cobra.
i honestly dont understand how people are saying the cobra is not a stiff board... My blacklist isnt a stiff board people.. i rode the cobra up at jackson a week ago and its pretty damn stiff..
Thats strange, im riding a Cobra X 163 and it's very flexible for an all mountain board. Most flexible board I have ridden, but I don't ride park boards.
Different strokes for different folks, but a binding like the Diodes on a board like a Cobra would be a nightmare for me. IMO, the worst possible combination is a binding that is way too stiff for the board. You'd be wiggling your toes and that board would be all over the place. :laugh:
This is true, but stiffness is also relative to other boards. NS rates it as a 5.5, so I'm not sure how people get surprised that the Cobra isn't stiff. It's not meant to be and the 5.5/10 on the flex scale clearly indicates that.
Isn't the Cobra rate 0.5 points stiffer than the SL and the SL is a middle of the road flex? I have an SL and I do not find it stiff at all, I used to have a 2013 TRS before that and the SL is more forgiving and a softer ride.
The Factories, Forces, Cartels, and Malavitas would all match great on the Cobra. Don't know anything about the Ride bindings personally. From that list I say get something not everyone else will have, and go with the Asymbol Factories. FWIW I have purchased bindings from that seller in the past, and he's a good seller.
Ride Maestro or Rodeo, Union Contact Pro or Force, Burton Genesis or Cartel...
