K2 Cinch CTC Bindings

[fundip43]

nice dude

[lauders11]

I have flow nxt-atse way easier to get in and out of

[Astrarave420]

@lauders11 Yeah but they break like fuck HAHAHA

[CourtneyM092]

so i have flow rear entry bindings and they are totally faster to get into and ride however, i find that when im actually on the mountain ready to ride, its 10xs harder because its slippery (lack of a better word) and i slip a little. Any suggestions?

[bobsy852]

Would you recommend these bindings? I'm waiting to see what the 2012 version brings but wondered if you'd recommend these bindings in general? (I've heard some reviews of poor reliability being my main concern...)

Thanks

[MyoiMyoi]

@bobsy852 Check out Flow instead, Excellent products, and you can undo the bridge binding on the front and do them up that way if you're on a steep hill/ stuck in powder. I'll never go back, serious it's step in, flip up, ride. My ass only gets snow on it while I wait for other people these days.

[Gazooo29]

When getting on and off the lift

[Gazooo29]

Or do you just set and forget the straps after you have them dialed in

[Gazooo29]

How do you really like them,are you constantly adjust the straps of the chair lift,I'm also guessing you can never sit down like regular bindings right

[Morphinos]

So, basically, it takes 11 seconds to get the feet in.. im wondering how long does it taketo get feets in "standard" bindings? anybody?

[brettBikes2]

these bindings are good but they arnt reliable at all. i rode them for 2 days and they broke. i just got Forum Faction bindings yesterday

[huckleberry803]

are they hard to close when snow is all over them? i also heard they were heavy? is that noticeable? how was the response?

[cristianvintu]

nice ;)

[ilovemusicfyi]

I got these two days ago and now all of my friends who are for some reason skiiers dont have to wait on me anymore

[americanpaintball]

i just got mine and the back is realy realy hard to close i dont know why will they loosen up?

[GIJOE131313]

@americanpaintball maybe loosen the tension cable

[nightkidd604]

@americanpaintball yeah mine is really really hard to close as well. what size boots do you wear and what size bindings did you get?

[brettBikes2]

just got these bindings yesterday, cant wait to try them out

[Gusto222]

love these bindings.. used them for most of last yr... they were awesome!!

[GlowRaver800]

hes black, he cant read. that is.

[Stereotype77]

@GlowRaver800

You're an idiot; learn some grammar and sentence structure before you insult someone using a keyboard.

I'm black, and clearly smarter than you.

[TheirObsession]

highback adjustable on this one?

[GlowRaver800]

soo i heard from my friend who had some step-ins and, he went off a jump and when he landed the step in thing came out and he broke his leg, soooo yeah haha instead of some gnu step ints, i got burton exiles. they own.

[TheirObsession]

@GlowRaver800 what kind of step-ins? tell your friend to read the manual. if he can read at all, that is.

[ryanfirework]

K2 has copied flow.

[Hawkster0001]

@ryanfirework not really

[ryanfirework]

Oh yes.

[sinhphung]

@ryanfirework they're more advanced than the flows.

[eleszar1]

is Dceant good?

[sn0wchyld]

hows the responsiveness? ive never ridden the step in style ones like this... always thought you'd never get em tight enough on top of your boots, but these seem to have that clinched.

[biglu30]

@sn0wchyld they fit wonderfully i find it actually easier to get a snug fit because everything is adjusted and then you just pull the one lock in the back

[slapshotzack]

Those are sweet bindings

[iambowser100]

iam thinking of getting these but r they worth the money?

[djkane29]

I love mine. Mine have lasted 6 years so far and I (intermediate-advanced rider) love them. Just take good care of them and they will last. I'm looking to upgrade to the better cinch binding, but for now i'm sure they will last.

Just take care of your gear and it will last longer.

[iambowser100]

great thanks iam looking to buy some of these to cant wait

[djkane29]

Yea. There are more moving parts for sure, because when the highback reclines, the buckles lift to allow easier access. Just take care of them properly and they will last ages.

[Slimz011]

Not at all just go with regular ones, but they do however look sick and save soo much time like you will probobly be going down on average 5-6 more times then a person without cinch but if your friends don't have em and your waiting on them anyway then there's no point, I just bought these for 88 bucks including tax cuz I know someone who works at sportscheck employee discount! Just go in and ask for a hook up

[djkane29]

Lol man I work for Sport Chek. They are $84 plus 10% markup. Gotta love that discount lol.

[Slimz011]

I hear you man lol what board you use?

[djkane29]

K2 Podium Wide. I wanted the 0 but it was outta my budget lol. The Podium is nice tho. Stiff without being "too stiff" if you know what I mean.

[BxOxDxZ]

sweet set up, im an seriously looking into these! they look amazing

[csswick87]

i just got them and trying to make highback flush with the board .. but it looks like i cant move them ..

[leemccarrick]

Change the highback angle? Yeah sure.

[americanpaintball]

@leemccarrick how do i change the highback angle?

[csswick87]

can u change highback on this binding?>

[leemccarrick]

I just got back from my local indoor slope about 5 minutes ago. The bindings were great, really quick and easy to get in and out of when standing BUT if you're on a slope it makes using the cinch system a little more difficult, but they can still be used as a regular strap type system.

[nightkidd604]

@leemccarrick hey bud been about a year now since you posted this vid. How are these bindings from your experience? have you had any problems with them? I am thinking of getting the k2 ctc or flow nxt.

[peterislazy]

@nightkidd604 If you've been snowboarding for awhile, go ahead and get the CTS or CTX. Otherwise, great bindings

[djspeck]

Im with u i think i am going to a rear entry binding (Gnu mutant, K2 Cinch, Flow NXT AT, ect).... I think i am going to go with the Flow NXt AT becasue they seem to be a better built binding and if i am going to be dropping 275 on a binding i dont want it to fall apart (like i felt the finger loop on the K2's would in the Colorado cold).

[Jokersin9]

have you tried to snowboard with them on yet?

[203132]

i have....reaaaaaly responsive. U can get lighter bindings....but i would rather spend less time putting on bindings. =)

[pendragon259]

Yea I agree, I have them too. The extra weight is worth a few more runs in the day.
