The function "FLEX MASTER 3000" that changes the high back flex is amazing!

A technology called FLEX MASTER 3000 installed in the high back of this season's HEAD binding "NX SIX".How are riders using this feature, which allows you to adjust the highback flex to suit the scene?We talked to Kazuki Nakamura, Hayata Akakawa, and Yoshiki Nemoto.

— How is it comfortable to use when you are actually using it?

fundamental: It's very comfortable to use.You can set it according to your mood and riding style when you slide, so it's great that you can enjoy multiple ways with one binding.

中: It was a shock when I first saw NX SIX.I was amazed at the boldness of opening the center of the highback.But when I actually use it, it looks really good!The center is actually cracked, but if you raise it up, it will be a stiffer flex, and if you lower it down, it will be softer.I would like you to try this surprise.

— When do you change your flex?

Akakawa: The degree of freedom is increased in the latter half of the turn of the powder and when the style is put out when jumping, and it is hardened when you want to prevent the movement from shifting, you want to lock, you want a sense of stability.Basically, it is set in the middle so that it can be used for all rounds, but it is set hard when kicking and jumping, and soft when powder, terrain play, and jib.

中: Raised up during freestyle (slope, free run).When lowering it, when it is powder.In my case, when powdering, I make it soft with the front legs down and hard with the back right leg up.This is because it allows you to move more freely and is firmly stabilized by your hind legs.You don't have to remove the binding when setting, and it's nice to be able to change your riding style according to the occasion.

fundamental: When you want to attack the kicker by flying hard or when you want to aggressively attack the free run with a hard burn etc., make the flex stiff, and conversely, when you want to give a loose style and fly the kicker or when you do gratri etc. It is set to soften.

— What kind of person do you think this function can recommend?

中: Anyway, I want to move the snowboard freely!It is highly recommended for those who say.You will be familiar with your style immediately, so you can use it widely from beginners to advanced users.I think that it is ant for researcher type people to enjoy changing each scale with this.

fundamental: Recommended for those who want to enjoy snowboarding almighty.With this binding alone, you can adjust the hardness of many flexes and slide, so I think that you can demonstrate the performance of this function in various scenes.

Akakawa: Recommended for those who slide all round.Especially if you go skiing, you'll do all the free runs, parks and carvings!If you change the flex, you will be able to handle various situations.
