Design details
TWINTIP BINDINGS
SIZES: S/M, M/L
INCLUDES:
- 2 Foot Straps
- 2 Foot Pads
- 4 M6 X 16mm Screws
HIGHLIGHTS
- Adjustable top-loading footstrap
- KnitFlex seamless comfort and support
- Impact resistant triple-density GripFlex footbeds
Extremely soft KnitFlex straps are fully adjustable, conforming to your whole foot with no stitching or bunching. Triple-density rubberized EVA footbeds provide lightweight cushioning and maintain grip underfoot when wet. Super quick three-point connection setup ensures a customised fit, and split inner velcro straps ensure maximum comfort for all foot shapes, sizes and rider styles.
ADJUSTABLE TOP-LOADING FOOTSTRAP
For quick setup and a perfect fit for all sizes. The Flex Adjustors allow comfortable foot positioning, a secure feel and use of the toe bar. Simply drop the inner and outer Flex Adjustors into the baseplate from the top, move forward or backward then pull up into your desired position. For a more locked-in feeling set the inner two Flex Adjusters further apart. The patented rear eyelets have an outward kick to ensure your foot never comes in contact with the eyelet on hard landings.
KNITFLEX SEAMLESS COMFORT AND SUPPORT
Our unique seamless KnitFlex inners are engineered for topside comfort and support. The NEW Knitflex fabric is pre-tensioned and laminated to the conforming foam inner, so it can create a 3D-curve without any bunching or creasing, and there’s no inner stitching to rub on your foot. NEW softer, thinner inner foam allows your foot to shuffle more easily into a locked-in position.
IMPACT RESISTANT TRIPLE-DENSITY GRIPFLEX FOOTBEDS
Lightweight, rubberized EVA provides soft cushioning and maintains grip underfoot when wet. The forward sloping grip pattern with ramped toe bar provides a good edge to get purchase on and prevents your foot from slipping out during high rotation tricks. High-density impact pads protect the heel from board contact on big landings, and are dual-moulded with a medium-density layer for serious impact protection. Another softer insert provides strategically-placed comfort under the ball of the foot.
Tech specs
PRECISION VELCRO STRAPS REDUCE WATER LIFT
Injection velcro decreases sand retention and extended top flaps increase hold and reduce water lift. The split inner-velcro design ensures a custom fit on top of the feet for all shapes, sizes and rider styles. Position the velcro straps wider apart for a more fixed feel, closer together for easy board-offs.
STANDARDISED M6 STANCE ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
Our six-point connection system uses standardised M6x16mm screw hardware to fasten the binding to the board in various positions with easy stance adjustment to suit all riders. Move your bindings backwards (heelside) or forwards (toeside), set the position for a wide or narrow stance, and change your duck stance. The oval hole allows for both 6”- 6.5” industry standard screw spacings.
KNEE-SAVING INWARD CANTING
The footpad is ergonomically angled to encourage optimised weight distribution and knee alignment, helping to minimise common rider injuries.
TWO SIZE OPTIONS
A good starting point would be Men's US 9 (EU42.5) and above for binding size M/L but we highly recommend trying before purchase to guarantee the best fit. We have found it's more to do with the shape and angle of your upper foot than foot length when aiming for the most effective fit.
6" SCREW SPACING
To fit all North kiteboards. Can expand to fit 6.5" spacing.
