Targa

Stale straps into the Targa for a simple reason: for both his oversized
riding and his technical creativity, he demands precise response and
100% dependable power.  The PowerChord highback delivers an undiluted
connection on heelsides and the Full UnderWrap heel hoop gives instant
edge-to-edge reactivity.   Rome-only PivotMount Technology and a
flex-adjustable ankle strap gives riders the quick-and-easy control they
need to customize their toeside support level.

PivotMount Technologies

Only found on Rome bindings, there is nothing like our PivotMount Technology to let riders control whether they have a flexible, mid-range or powerful toeside performance profile. To change toeside response, we make it super easy to move where your ankle strap sits on your ankle. Simply loosen a screw and snap the PivotMount’s arm into different positions. In addition to asymmetric options that riders can explore, we suggest three primary positions:

• 1Position in the LOW position for maximum tweak
• 2Position straps in the MID position for a balance of power and freedom (this is the default setting)
• 3Position straps in the HIGH position for driving max power into your toeside edge.

UltraAdjust Ankle Strap

Featured on the Targa, this model gives riders three easy-to-adjust levels of flex in one binding. Because we believe in letting riders customize toeside response.

PowerChord Highback

The PowerChord highback is the most powerful model in our line, perfect for riders like Stale who demand quick, undiluted response.

V-Rod Baseplates

Another way we build Flex With Pop into our bindings is through our V-Rod baseplates. In our V-Rod Ultralight Baseplate and the V-Rod Baseplate, we create direct connection from front to back from your big toe to the lateral side of your heel. At the same time, we raise the corner of the baseplate near your little toe and the opposing corner on the medial side of your heel. This combination gives you power edge to edge AND flexibility side to side. It improves board flex by reducing the plastic contacting the board. Here are the specific ways V-Rod technology delivers Flex With Pop, while also improving board flex.

• Edge-to-Edge Power from the “rod” of edge to edge contact
• Proper Snowboard Flexibility from the raised baseplate corners and added dampening material
• Minimal baseplate contact to board for more natural board flex (the V-Rod Ultralight leads the industry with only 1.56% of baseplate contacting the board)

Full UnderWrap Technology

The pop comes before the flex in this platform. Featuring our original UnderWrap concept, this platform features four points of heel hoop connection with two UnderWrap connections in the toe area of the baseplate. The result is a connection that drives power into both edges of the board through added leverage over the binding, while still maintaining the proper side-to-side flex and feel that snowboarding demands.

ConformGrip 2.0 Toe Strap

Featured on our mid to high-end bindings, the ConformGrip 2.0 uses a TPU frame with a web of overmolded elastic material to conform and grip to the toe of any boot. Our use of high-friction over-molded material stretches over the boot and locks your foot in place with a minimal amount of pressure. The result is better foot hold and higher comfort.

D30 SubBase Pad

On the Katana and our Stale colorway of the Targa, we use D30 under the baseplate for the highest level of impact absorption available. Compared to standard EVA, D30 absorbs 30% more impact. The result is premium dampening for bigger drops and flatter landings.
