Which one would you pick for freestyle/park?

Good call. Will the highback be stiffer like the Targa? I love the ankle strap on the 390's better than the Targa (even though the flex inserts are kinda neat) but I don't like how flexy the highback is. It could be a really neat compromise. However, I do really appreciate the heelstrike inserts too..

Shit, maybe I should just buy another set of Targas for my park board...

@Snowolf, I love that clip too. Some of the other ones are pretty lame, but there is also some gold. Especially the worker comp one.

i have some 390's and i can ride them anywhere, but that might be because im 140 pounds.... but besides preference the bindings have held up well for a season, kinda heavy but not to big of an issue, the rachets froze in the snow but that could be all bindings no huge complaints so far.

I have a suspicion it is just an assumption based on the fact that they LOOK heavy. There is a thread around here somewhere where someone weighed a bunch of bindings and found the 390's to be among the lightest, lighter than Forces at least. I don't think they are heavy either, would love to see someone who has access to a bunch of bindings to actually weight them. Regardless, I doubt you will notice the weight differences which can't possibly amount to much more than half a kg per binding anyway, people just like the idea a lot.


EDIT: Here we go.

Or if you can't be bothered clicking:

2.31 - Rome Targa
2.38 - Union Force
2.44 - Flux Super Titan
2.50 - Union Data

gotcha thanks.. This choice between the 390 boss or the targa is killing me...

It seems that if you take the ankle pad out of the targa you basiclly have the 390 (with a diff highback)
So you can hit up the park with the flex of the 390 and still get more stiffness with an insert if you need it..
