NEW! ConttraFlex Chassis System - Ride’s 100% aircraft grade 6061 Aluminium Alloy delivers unsurpassed lightweight durability. Aluminium for a reason; the perfect balance of minimal weight, quick response and unmatched durability. Something is only as good as the foundation on which it is built. Since its inception, and to this day, Ride Bindings are constructed with aluminium to provide the best blend of lightweight durability. In fact, they are so confident in the durability of their aluminium designs that Ride offers a Limited LIFETIME Warranty against bending or breakage of their Baseplates and Heelcups. And don't forget, not only are the heelcups and baseplates made from an estimated 50% recycled aluminium, but they are fully recyclable themselves. Simple to set up and fully tunable, this new chassis is super lightweight and flexible. Includes an adjustable toe ramp and the NEW! Micro-disc.

NEW! Stealth Highback - Ride pioneered Stance Correct shaping back in 1999 and it has since evolved into 9 unique highback designs, each dialed for specific riding styles and abilities. Stance Correct shaping matches the ‘cocked and loaded’ angle of your natural riding stance and is the combination of twist, cupping and asymmetrical flex patterns. In addition to proper biomechanical alignment, Stance Correct shaping provides lateral support and medial flex to provide the proper balance of support, control and mobility. A little bit goes a long way. Perfectly designed lightweight freestyle performance. Larger flat-back shaping built with thinner construction and maximum side-to-side flex.

NEW! Freestyle Core Ankle Strap with AeroGrip V-Strap - Pre-curved 3D shaping and Multi-Density padding provide even pressure distribution over the instep for the best in control and comfort. Made from dual density 3D thermal formed padding, the Freestyle Core offers performance, flex and comfort along with a new tool-less mount strap for fine tuning. The centrepiece of Ride’s innovative single ratchet technology - the ContraBand V-Strap utilizes a superior ergonomic design that stretches tight over the toe for an ultra-secure hold and maximum comfort. Made from a specialized polyurethane designed for cold temperature flex and durability, this bomber strap will take a beating and still provide all the support and comfort you could ask for. Pivoting design for superior fit, adjustment and comfort. This super lightweight V-strap features an all new ‘Aero’ grip zone and on-the-fly adjustment for the perfect performance fit.

Wedgie 2.5 Footbed & optional 4.0 Footbed in the box - Added pop and support = a better way to ride!! All Ride bindings come with formed EVA shockpads that dampen vibration and absorb shock from landing. Providing the best in comfort and improved control. Unlike the wedgies you may have received in school, this Wedgie will provide the added benefit of superior pop, support and control, allowing you to ride longer and harder. The Wedgie is an ultra-light footbed that uses subtle angles to align the ankles and knees to a more natural and comfortable position. The angle also gives leverage to press the board for huge pop, without affecting your preferred stance width. Offered in 4 ergonomic angles that result in less fatigue, maximum control and more pop. Wedgie 2.5 provides the ideal angle for advanced freestyle riders looking for that extra pop. If you are riding a rocker board, you’ll especially appreciate getting some added pop with 2.5. Optional Wedgie 4.0 - offers the maximum angle for those riders looking for the utmost drive and ollie pop. Ideal for those who rock the extra wide stance.

Urethane Rollbar Basepad - Sends rider input smoothly and evenly into the board’s rail. Injected Urethane material provides the extra dampening and shock absorption required for high impact riding in the park.

Power UL Ratchets - All Ride ratchets feature 4 clicks per throw, anatomical shaping for easy cranking and super smooth release. The Power UL Ratchets provide ultra light design, rubbery grip pods and more leverage for higher cranking power.

NEW! Forged Aluminium Micro-Disc - Built for enhanced all-around binding flex and performance, the new Micro-Discs use 30% less material and is 30% lighter.

These look like the bindings to have this season, they look great and are packed with enough tech to keep even the nerdiest of you happy, freestyle flex lets you rock the good stuff and look great whilst doing it, super easy to adjust and super comfortable whilst retaining all of the features that give you maximum control, so go ahead style it up and feel great in the park.
