THE UNTOLD STORIES / FLUX BINDINGS
FLUX binding is a brand from Japan but also based in Southern California. From the brand start in 1992 to the present, we have accurately captured the trends of the scene that repeats change and evolution.The products that fit the movement of the times that were born in this way are the result of excellent development technology and a brand attitude that is close to the "now" of riders and users.
The new model XF for the 2016-17 season was also born as a binding that fits the current scene.The focus was on "carving," which is currently booming all over the world.
The biggest feature is the newly designed "Transfer Base".By extending the toe and heel sides outward compared to the conventional base and securing a wider contact area with the board, the contact points on all sides can transmit the power under load to the board without loss.As for the rider's feeling of the test drive, he says that he can clearly feel that he is firmly stepping on the edge on the toe side farthest from his feet.This is clearly demonstrated by verification using a surface pressure measuring instrument.
The measurement also revealed that the "Transfer System", a rail provided from the outside to the inside of the toe side, plays a role in concentrating the power of stepping on the edge.And this system also plays the role of pulling up the toe side when the load on the heel side is applied, and it is also effective for sharp turning.
In short, the new XF with "Transfer Base" can be said to be a binding that enables stable carving that uses the entire effective edge by in-controlling every corner of the board.At the same time, these features work not only on the edges but on the entire sole, so you can clearly feel where you are stepping on the surface during ollies or pressing.
This new concept model, which was born from the feedback of FLUX riders and users who continue to slide in various environments every day, will lead the riding that fits the "now" scene to the next level.It is a binding that riders who want a higher speed range should definitely experience.
