Bent Metal

Transfer Snowboard Binding

Morning pow runs through the trees, park laps after lunch, and high-speed groomers in late afternoon is just another day in the life of the Bent Metal Transfer Snowboard Binding. The binding of choice for freestyle wizard Forest Bailey, it offers a nimble feel whether you're weaving between park features or throwing up pow slashes, and it has a versatile medium flex that shreds anywhere on the mountain.

What makes Bent Metal bindings stand out from the pack is the Flex Control Drive plate that sits under your foot. The one that comes with the Transfer features a shock-absorbing EVA layer on top and a reinforced nylon layer on bottom, with layers of magnesium fiberglass, eco-sublimated sheets, and a poly core sandwiched between to deliver a lively medium flex. Magnesium fibers transmit precise edge-to-edge performance without sacrificing freestyle flexibility. There are also soft and stiff options available (sold separately), so you can change up the feel of your binding without switching bindings entirely.

Low-profile straps conform to your boot to deliver lightweight and secure comfort, with no delay in response when you engage turns. The medium-flexing highback offers enough support for big jumps and steep lines, but it's still tweakable enough to take through the jib line. It's all attached to the board through the Pivot Disk, which has a reduced size to allow your board to realize its true flex potential.
