Description of Technine MFM Classic Snowboard Binding:
The Technine MFM Classic Snowboard Binding features a height-adjustable highback—ride with the highback at its tallest for maximum heel response in powder, or lower it as much as 2 centimeters for versatility in the park. Toe and heel ramps in these MFM Classic Bindings alleviate foot pain, dampen vibrations, absorb shock, and increase edge-to-edge responsiveness no matter where you ride. Technine's Baltimore Conversion Toe Straps pull your boots down into the heel cups in order to give you excellent energy transfer.
Bottom Line: Don't let your binders limit you—Marc Frank Montoya never has.
These bindings held up with my rough riding; snapped a board last season and put these on my new one too. I got mine for free, but its legit for the price, though i would suggest some of their more expensive bindings. Or Union. The cheaper ones don't hold up as well.
Only had 2 problems with these bindings. The highbacks could be taller, gives little to no support while riding. Second, on cold deep pow days, the buckles froze up at the worst times. Like say hiking over on a pow day, go to strap feet back in, and the buckle is frozen inside. Basicly had to breath on it to be able to click in..
Other then that, decent binding.
But go with Union instead..
I purchased these this season with the idea that the company who first developed the toe cap would have by far the best design. This is no way true. The material used on these bindings are cheap and wear out and strip out. I rode these bindings for 3 days and have now replaced them. Dont waste money on something that shakes loose and pulls loose in one day out. Sorry, but I was very hopeful with these and now I am just very regretful for the money I am out.
Technine used to be the best bindings but they are crap now. I bought a pair of these and a Pair of MFM pros and they both suck. The hardware is cheap. It just pulls right out of the threaded holes as you're riding. They are alot heavier than most of the competition. The straps are made of cheap vinyl fabric that is ripping after 5 uses.
