What is required for binding is ... Hold power with a firm sense of security, durability that can withstand hard use, light weight that does not get tired even when riding for a long time, a sense of unity with a quick and flexible board, etc. If you give it upIt is this "BENT METAL" that satisfies such selfish demands of snowboarders at a high level.Not to mention high performance, the image of BENT METAL is that it has a unique system called a drive plate that creates a sense of unity between the board and binding, artwork in collaboration with many artists, and match-up with popular models of GNU and LIB TECH. It sets it apart from other binding brands.This time, we will introduce the popular "Medium Flex Model" that supports a wide range of all-round slips.
Two high-performance models that MEN'S professional riders can trust tremendously
AXTION [FLEX / MEDIUM]
Forest Bailey is also my favorite.Widely enjoyable with jib, terrain play, and powder
"AXTION" is a high-performance model that became a popular model of BENT METAL at the same time as it appeared last season.Forest Bailey's signature color, which is popular as a jib master, is perfect for color matching with the signature board "HEAD SPACE" released by GNU.The separate left and right coloring of blue and yellow will stand out even in snowy mountains.In terms of performance, each part has been improved.The ankle that holds from the ankle to the heel is the softest of the dual ankle straps that provide an excellent fit, and the toe strap uses a grip foam toe strap.By improving this strap, we succeeded in obtaining a comfortable fit by holding the boot firmly while giving it moderate flexibility.The drive plate is laminated with Magnesi's Umm fiber to blend with the flex of the board for outstanding control.The combination of the unibody chassis (using polymer) and the solid asymmetry high back provides excellent vibration absorption and enables smooth riding.AXITION has a wide range of performance that is well adapted to free riding, which slides down the entire mountain at high speed, and freestyle in the park.SIZE: S (23-26cm), M (26-29cm), L (29-32cm) COLOR: BLK (TEAM), BLU / YLW (FOREST BAILEY), WHT (TEAM) PRICE: ¥ 38,500 (tax included) from the left

4 The high back has an asymmetrical shape that slightly overhangs outward.The Forest Bailey model has different colors on the left and right, matching the design with the GNU board HEAD SPACE.
TRANSFER [FLEX / MEDIUM]
High-performance model with high reliability and high usage rate of team riders
"TRANSFER", which is used by Jamie Lin and Eric Jackson, who lead the brand image of BENT METAL, is very popular in Japan.The reason is the well-balanced performance and the high degree of perfection as a binding.Uses a dual ankle strap that creates an excellent fit and a grip foam toe strap that firmly conveys the power of the toes to the board without loss.With two improved and aged straps, the fit is at a very high level.In addition, the drive plate with magnesium fiber sandwiched between them allows the power to be transmitted to the board quickly, and fine control can be performed firmly. The body of the 2-piece chassis (using polymer and aluminum) is equipped with an aluminum heel cup with adjustable function, and the centering is adjusted firmly with a minidisc.You can find your best position and ride.And by using the MiniDisc, it became possible to bring out the original performance of the board without affecting the flex of the board and binding.It supports all genres from powder riding in big mountains to carving and park riding.Especially recommended for those who value the delicate control of their feet.

STYLIST [FLEX / MEDIUM]
Girls version of AXTION.Jib, terrain play, powder and slide down the entire mountain
"STYLIST" is positioned as a girls version of AXTION, focusing on freestyle and freeriding.The ankle strap that holds from the ankle to the heel is the softest of the dual ankle straps that provide an excellent fit, and the toe strap uses a grip foam toe strap.I succeeded in holding firmly and getting a comfortable fit without stress.For tricks and parks that take advantage of the terrain, sufficient hold and flexible flex allow for flexible board control.In addition, the stability in high-speed free riding is outstanding, and you can step firmly even on a carving turn on a snow-packed burn, leading to a continuous and comfortable turn.With as few parts as possible and a minimum of high quality parts, this lightweight binding will allow you to enjoy snowboarding in the best possible condition for a long time without stress and will support your progress at the fastest speed.
