Hey Rob,

You’d be better off with the Raiden Phantoms for all mountain, assuming you want a fairly responsive binding.

I would also look at the Burton Diode and Flux FS45.

How stiff do you want your bindings?

FLUX TT30, SF45 and both DMCC models are all mountain, but like rider asks, how stiff/responsive do ya want ya binding to be?????

Just out of interest, why NITRO????? (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!!!!!)

Dude, even at its shortest length, the Nitro Addict Wide is WAYYYYYYYY too wide for your feet!. I’ve also got size UK10 feet (US11), but I don’t ride wide boards. My resort board waist widths range from 247.5mm to 253mm - and the Nitro Addict Wide starts at 264mm! There’s absolutely no need to go that wide for your size feet.

When Nitro make a wide they make a “WIDE”. The Phantoms are a really good binding, if I remember correctly they are using the 2 bolt disc as well which makes the disc smaller and more flex for board feel.

 

yh i went into a few shops and they said for the boots i have i will need 160+ the boots i have are the vans Aura boots. im just looking for an all moutain setup really something that i can shred down the moutain in but also do some freestyle when wanted.

 

i want a more responsive setup rather than flex but not too stiff maybe like a rating of 6/7 soo more on the responsive stiff side but not too stiff. a bit exact i know but o well. the nitro thing i dont really know there gear seems to be good but not too expensive like some of burtons stuff.

In that case, I would look at the Flux DS30, Burton Cartel, and Burton Malavita. None of these are super stiff but they are stiff enough and probably rate around 6/7 on the response scale. All of them are excellent bindings.

The DS30’s do have a super soft lateral flex in the highback though!!!!! I would tend to say it was more park orientated!!!!!

The TT30 will cope with everythin around the hill, and slot into a reasonable budget while still bein a high end binder!!!!!

Then followed by the SF45, and then if ya got the cash flow get the DMCC and be the envy of all ya mates!!!!!  shaka

 

just found the ride bezerker board looks like the sort of board im looking for respons of a 7 hybrid all moutain camber. Type (B) that board plus a set of good bindings the TT30 looks like a good choice soo it seems im all sorted. thanks for all the replys and help guys smile

Sorry mate, but still not right for your size feet. Try looking at between a 252mm waist width and a 256mm waist width, give or take.

Around 260mm waist width would likely be alright, depends a bit on how bulky your boots are. You probably wouldn’t want to go really much wider.

I have a 10.5 US boot which has a small profile. My boards is 255ww. I think it’s about spot on. It’s nice not having toe/heel drag, which I occasionally got from my previous setup.
