The Cinch TS is top of the K2 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 TS 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? Designed to act as the most biomechanically efficient chassis possible, the TriPod baseplate features power transmission pods that coincide with the three points of contact of the foot & is designed to flex the way that the foot is naturally meant to. The Tripod chassis is 3 contact points one either side at the front of the binding & one right under your heel. 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.
