K2 CINCH TX BINDINGS
- 2018
The Cinch TX is top of the pile when it comes to step in / rear entry snowboard bindings. It ups the ante in performance & expectation in the step-in market. In the past, riders that wanted step in technology sacrificed performance & fit—this is a compromise of the past. The TX is built on an ultra-supportive chassis with extremely clever counter levered mechanism which moves the straps up & out of the way as the highback drops. Add to this 3 degree canting on the very comfortable Cinch TX footbeds for a more egonomic aligned stance on your board to prevent stress on the knees & ankle. Did I mention Tripod technology? Well that is K2 clever chassis which means that you can dial in the lateral flex of the binding through 3 different durometer bushings included in the box. The Tripod chassis is 3 contact points one either side at the front of the binding & one right under your heel. This reduces the contact area down to its most minimal form when combined with K2s mini disc used on this model. What does all this mean? It allows the chassis to have a little lateral flex to feel a tad more forgiving & absorb vibrations & shocks, want more vibration dampening? Use the softest bushing, want more response? Go for the hardest bushing, want it really loose & free? Remove the full EVA foam basepad which sits underneath the binding for a much surfier feel. K2’s new Opti Highback that folds back at the flip of a lever for rear step-in entry is even more refined now with less weight & super sleek looks. Add in a minimal strap & a Perfect Fit toe strap & you have the best speed entry binding on the market, these are goooooood!!
