Yep, the medium is def the right size for your boot!!!!!

Bet ya hangin to test it out!!!!! shaka

 

Doesn’t look like there’s any option to adjust the high backs rotation nor heel cup position? Hope they treat you well man, I’ve not been hearing the best things about them but would be keen to get my hands on a pair for a closer look.

Your right no adjuestment for high back or heal cup to be honest the only thing you can adjust on these bindings is, foreword lean on the high back, straps obviously, and whether to ride with high back or not.. Other then that its a pretty solid assembly.. I’m not saying I’m not skeptical a lil but I will put them to the test and see how they work out.. Will definitely be bringing my Ride Meastros along for the first few days just incase i hate these..

I ended up going with the L because according to the size chart for a US size 10 (EUR 43) that is the binding for me

A Flux joke in a Now thread. Oh the wit on this forum!

I still want to try these things.
I have no real idea. But I envision them being less aggressive so maybe not so good for high end riders. But they could in theory be awesome for beginner - intermediate riders.

I found it to be quite the opposite. I also had the same thoughts as you but that changed after I rode the bindings. In the same way a cambered board lets you build up pressure during a carve or ollie, then releases that energy into the next turn or to put you in the air, I found the bindings worked in the same sort of way. Because of the hinge, you are able to build up some pressure during the turn, and as soon as you release that energy it springs you into the next turn. It’s hard to describe but they really do work, and if anything I would say they improve response in most situations.

Lester,
For boot size 10 did u go with M or L bindings, since you seem to be comparing both ?

Sorry i mean to say what binding did he go with since he compared M and L

Pretty sure he ended up with the Mediums, as the Large had too much overhang on his board, and it also looks like the boot is more centered in the Medium by the pics he took!!!!!

Yeah I get you. You can release pressure in the hinge rather than using your ankle to do the same thing. Interesting stuff.
Do u physically feel it rock? Or does it just feel normal and the pressure builds and releases easier?

Also how is it on landings, different?

God I really just want to try some already lol
