To be fair, I didn’t really notice the extent of this, but I didn’t ride them all day, which is when you might start to feel that. They’re a bit lacking in this department. One of the only bindings that lets you adjust both the heel ramp and toe ramp (usually just the toe ramp) – so that’s a bonus.Ĭan’t adjust the heel cup, which I would like to see and can’t adjust the high back rotation, which isn’t a big deal for me, but heel cup adjustments are nice to have. Like a lot of stiffer bindings, I felt like you had to give it a bit more effort but once you did you could really extract good spring from ollies/popping. This is what really surprised me about these (and other stiffer Flux bindings). Board Feel/Butterabilityįor how stiff it is, you can actually still butter in these bindings and there is still a really decent board feel. Not just in terms of quick turn initiation but also really locked you in for carves really well, just felt it held me in super-solid on a big arcing carve, more so than most bindings. To a point that it was bordering on twitchy (the board I rode them with, I consider a 6/10 flex). Certainly, made my board more responsive. I would say it really is bordering on 10/10. It barely moves when you try to twist it with your hands. This binding is seriously stiff, particularly in the highback. The XF (which has the same base plate) I measured was 24.3cm and that was still a little extended, so I think it will go as short as 24cm and likely as long as 25.5cm. The XV, since they use a different base plate may be a little bit different, I only remembered to measure it after I had mounted it so could only measure it at what it was set to. My Flux DS are 24.5cm with no extension and 26.1cm fully extended. And since the heel ramp and the toe ramp both adjust it can go a good bit longer than that. There were a couple of harder spots but mostly pretty soft/medium all round.īoard demoed with: Rossignol One LF, 2018īaseplate Length: 24.7cm (9.72”) – the heel ramp was a little extended, so it goes shorter than that. Visibility was variable in the morning for the first couple of laps but cleared out pretty quickly with the sun coming out late morning. Quite cold in the morning, especially for April, but warmed up in the afternoon as the sun came out. There was still some left over fresh snow from the previous couple of days but not as much there as there was the day before. Demo InfoĬonditions: There was a little bit of fresh snow in the morning but just a few centimeters. let’s take a more detailed look at what the XV are capable of.
