never had a problem with my ride bindings bending and trust me, i've taken some pretty nasty falls on my EX's, but stuff does happen and ride has very good customer service with replacement parts and such. I love my SPi's, but i'm really wondering what i missed out on with the targas. i wouldn't mind demo-ing a pair just to see what they're all about.

Thanks for giving me a little bit more confidence in the RX. I have a back up plan if then bend in the first year. Ride's customer service has been great so for in answering my questions, so I'm not worried on that front. It will also be a few years before I'm hitting the park with a vengence, since I'm coming off of knee surgery this season. The Targas do look nice, unfortunately my local mountain a Burton bitch, so there won't be any chance for me to demo anything other than Burton.

I looked at them again and they definitely don't look like a leather. Maybe they're different with each color, I have the white ones.


I don't think there's an ultimate binding, but as you can see i prefer the 390's out of the ones i've tried. Ultimatly I'd love a 390 binding with Burton c02 ratchets and straps with the targa base padding... actually i guess that means just the targas with burton ratchets and straps.

Is it possible on the targas to just not slide the ladders into the cover? I have a set on the way and I don't care if they are in the covers or not, my SPi's don't have covers and it does nothing for functionality so I would rather not deal with potential sticking issues

It's an extra piece that essentially does nothing functionally. In your case though i wouldn't worry about it just yet. I haven't heard of it being a problem anywhere else really other than this post. If you experience it, however, you can do what one mentioned here and add a DIY piece to keep it's shape, or just cut it off altogether.
