K2 Snowboard Bindings

In addition to being easy to get into, the K2 Cinch CTL Snowboard Binding features K2's new Control Base, which is ideal for freestyle and progressing all-mountain riders.

The 'Cinch' K2 snowboard bindings are made from fiberglass-enhanced nylon and this makes the base forgiving, yet you don't have to sacrifice stability and control. The comfortable, supportive Cinch highback drops back on its hinge, which enables you to get in and out of it effortlessly. A rider can adjust the forward lean on this highback with a simple lever. These K2 snowboard bindings have a padded, three-dimensional ankle and the toe straps spread pressure evenly to avoid foot pain. Freestyle or all-mountain riders who want a little flex and forgiveness in a binding will want the K2 Cinch CTL.

The 'Cinch' K2 snowboard bindings are getting great reviews from riders despite some small issues. One rider has this say about the K2 snowboard bindings:

"This binding is the best of both worlds with a cinch back and boot straps, and they are well balanced. The quality & convenience is worth the cost. The materials are not cheap or shabby. The K2 'Cinch' is a very solid binding. You won't be disappointed with this investment. I had a little bit of an issue with the cinch wire being too tight to close, but with some adjusting they work AWESOME! In the time everyone else is still strapping in, you can be flying down the mountain!"

A rider reviewing the K2 snowboard bindings and comparing them to Flow had this to say:

"I've tried both the K2 Cinch and the Flow bindings. I definitely like the Cinch better than the Flow. I find the Flow difficult to open. The ice gets caught in the mechanism and it's hard to open with the thumb alone. With the K2, you slide your index finger and pull the binding shut or open with much more ease because of the design of the mechanism. I've had cursing sessions with the Flow bindings trying to get in and out. Also, the K2 gives you the possibility to hold the boot around the toe like Burton bindings but they are so much easier to get in and out. I find it quite easy to close my bindings on the chair lift and I'm instantly ready to go when I reach the top."

Overall riders are giving terrific reviews on this particular type of K2 snowboard bindings and it seems that they are the easiest binding since clicker, but much more compatible with all boots.
