New binding advice - Snowboarding Forum

TofuSama · 03-26-2011, 08:29 PM

So I'm buying a new setup around September, and I figured I might as well have things mostly figured out in advance. I'm going after a medium-flex binding, and right now the ones I've come up with are;

Flux TT30
Union Force
Rome 390

Flux RK30
Forum Faction

The first three bindings are on about even footing for consideration. Anyone have any other recommendations or experience with these/similar bindings?

Flux TT30

/Thread.

They're the best and most comfortable bindings I've ever had.

If he is buying in september he will probably be looking at the 2012 models. Have you personally tried them or are you just hoping they are the exact same or better than the 2011's?

Serious question.

Definitely need to make sure you're getting the tech you want, I haven't played with any bindings past 2011...

The RK30 2012 model has been reviewed and said to be very similar to the 2011 models. The main difference between the TT30 and RK30 is the highback, so I have a feeing that they'll also be quite similar. The TT30s do seem like they might be a better choice than the RK30s though.

After a bit more looking around, the Union Force might be an option too.
