![]() ![]() They always fit super well to my boots and just feel really good. Toe Strap: I'm never disappointed with Flux toe straps. The way the strap sits on the inside of the baseplate really helps here, IMO, and helps to give it a nice comfortable and snug fit (also great for ankle support - see below) I wouldn't pair them with a poor shock absorbing boot - but they're fine with boots that absorb shock well.Īpart from that lack of shock absorption, they are really comfortable.Īnkle Strap: Conformed really well to my boots and no pressure points whatsoever. ![]() With decent shock absorbing boots, it's not horrible or anything, but they are lacking compared to most quality bindings on the market. That lack of padding in the footbed really helps with its board feel (IMO) but doesn't help with shock absorption. This is, along with other Flux bindings, the weakest point of these bindings. But the DS and CV which I was also testing had tool-less highback rotation.Ĭompatible with: 2 x 4 | 4 x 4 | Channel Shock Absorption Highback rotation, on bindings that have it, you typically need a screwdriver. Not tool-less, which isn't unusual in general. Most Flux bindings you can also adjust the heel ramp, but couldn't seem to do it with the EM. But no heel ramp adjustment, which is unusual for Flux. Gas pedal/toe ramp extension: Gas pedal/toe ramp yes. Stance Width: Full size disc that you can run horizontal, so good micro stance width adjustbility.Īnkle and toe strap length: Yes (though this is on every binding) but it is tool-less, which isn't on every binding (though it is for most these days). Subtly worse, but was something that was enough for me to notice. I found that they had a little less energy for popping/ollies etc vs the Malavita - and vs the other Flux bindings I also rode that day (the DS and CV). They don't have a mini-disc or anything else like that that might explain the board feel, but they do have very minimal anything in the baseplate/footbed - which is likely why the board feel is as good as it is. Not best of the best or anything but really decent. Board Feel/Butterabilityīoard feel was really decent. They're not horrible for faster, more aggressive riding, but not great either. Felt good overall when riding at slower speeds.įor higher speed carving they didn't perform as well and feel better when riding slower/less aggressively. In terms of slow speed quick/sharp turns, it felt pretty comparable to my control bindings (Burton Malavita). So the EMs are pretty much right on average. The average weight of a small sample size of around 80 bindings (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 & 2024 models) I have weighed is 920 grams (2lbs). ![]() * for one binding, including screws and disc. 22.7cm (8.9") on the underside of the baseplate.īaseplate Length Fully Extended (footbed): 24.8cm (9.8") Board demoed with: Lib Tech Terrain Wreckerīaseplate Length: 23.6cm (9.3”) – that’s measured on the top of the footbed. ![]()
