Targas softer these days? - Snowboarding Forum

I remember a few years ago, around 06 or 07, the targas were known for a good freeride binding. Did they get softer over the years? I am thinking about picking up a pair for freeriding but it seems like now they are known as more of a stiffer freestyle binding.

i rode a pair of 2012 Targas at a demo recently - it is a very stiff binding - everything from the base to the straps to the highback is that way. made for charging. nothing freestyle about it.

Which inserts were in? That could make a difference.
