Equipped with original features such as a drive plate, BENT METAL develops bindings that perfectly fit the needs of a wide range of snowboarders, helping snowboarders improve their skills and enjoy riding comfortably.
The design is also attractive, incorporating artwork, and the feeling of motivation every time you put on the bindings is something that can only be experienced with BENT METAL.
Here we will introduce two popular models in the lineup: the "AXTION," which has excellent all-round performance, and the "STYLIST," a ladies' model with the same specifications.
AXTION
This medium flex all-mountain model is now even more complete, lighter and with a better fit. The ankle strap fits snugly into the boot, transmitting power accurately while still providing a comfortable feel that doesn't tire you out. Equipped with a solid asymmetrical highback, it increases the rigidity of the rear. The built-in 3° cant makes it easier to make powerful turns while still maintaining a comfortable ride.
SIZE: S (23.0-26.0cm), M (26.0-29.0cm), L (29.0-32.0cm) *S size is only available in RED-BLACK and BLACK
PRICE: ¥ 49,500 (tax included)
STYLIST
Medium setting for women's leg strength. Equipped with a 3° cant for easier loading. Heel shock pad for improved comfort. Dual ankle straps are adjusted with soft flex, and the power band provides firm control, enabling excellent performance for all needs.
SIZE: S/M (22.0-25.0cm), M/L (26.0cm ~)
PRICE: ¥ 48,400 (tax included)
TOPICS
3° of cant added to the drive plate for even better control
By tilting the feet inwards, you can maintain a natural standing position and reduce strain on your knees. The role of the cant is to make it easier to keep your center of gravity in the center, making it easier to load the board and improving control. The most notable feature of the new model is the addition of a 3° cant to the drive plate. There's no need to purchase a new cant, and the minimal specifications allow for the best control.
Drive plate that matches the board's flex
The "drive plate" is a combination of multiple materials on top of the center disc that creates the same flex as a snowboard. This plate, developed exclusively by BENTMETAL, flexes the binding and synchronizes with the board's flex to increase the sense of unity. Not only the material composition, but also the structure is made of one piece and two pieces to create optimal performance. The AXTION and STYLIST are equipped with a magnesium drive plate. You can also customize the ride by replacing it with a separately sold drive plate (three types: firm, medium, and medium soft).
Straps that gently hug your feet for a snug fit
The large ankle strap fits gently around your feet and has another firm band in the center. The dual structure ensures a comfortable snowboarding life with a soft dual-band ankle strap that provides excellent fit and quick control of all movements. It delivers optimal performance for mountain riding.
Simple integrated chassis and large access disk specifications
The lightweight, one-piece polymer chassis absorbs vibrations and provides a smooth ride. The center disc is a standard-sized large access disc, providing excellent balance with the chassis for precise board control.
Forward lean changes with each turn
This unique idea has been inherited from the original model from 1995. It is a simple and reliable system that allows you to adjust the forward lean angle to 10°, 14°, 18°, or 22° just by rotating the cube. The material is the same urethane as skateboard wheels, which absorbs shock.
Match-ups for even more individuality
Models with attractive artwork on the high back and drive plate have been added to the lineup. AXTION can be matched up with GNU.
