Flow M11 vs Rome Targa - Snowboarding Forum

03-20-2008, 04:16 AM

OK. So i found some Flow M11's and some Rome Targas for the same price. Considering I really like my current Flow PRO's (I am super lazy, I have BOA boots so I don't have to tie my laces) Why would I want to get the Targas? BTW, I don't want this to turn into a 12 year old squabble on how "My binding are better than yours!" If that's all your going to say, keep it to yourself. I would like some constructive criticism on why the Targas are so great, and why the Flows are not, or vice-versa. I am an intermidiate rider, and am not really interested in doing any terrain stuff (Maybe a jump or two, but no tricks or half pipe) I just like to go fast. Hopefully this will help me make my final decision so I could atleast get the bindings in time to try them out once this season. Thanks in advance.

the targas are definitely a good choice for your style of riding. i think the reason people would prefer the targas over the Flows is because of the sheer amount of customization involved with the targas. i've never used flows myself, but from what i've gathered here on the forums, the targas are the shiznit if you take the time to adjust them properly. i haven't seen a lot of favorable reviews on flows in comparison to other bindings on this forum. just my $.02.

Both are excellent bindings that offer different advantages and disadvantages. If you're comfy with the Flows and you've had experience with them then go for the Flows.

It's good everyone said Flow's cause by the time I went back to check them both out again, the Targas were sold out. Oh well, I guess it was ment to be. I was leaning more towards the Flows anyways. Thanks for all your help guys. And for not turning this in to a whining fest.
