Bent Metal 2027 Speed-In Light Snowboard Bindings - Black
Bent Metal 2027 Speed-In Light Snowboard Bindings – Black
Fast Rear Entry, Lightweight Performance, and All-Mountain Freedom
The 2027 Bent Metal Speed-In Light Snowboard Bindings combine the convenience of quick rear entry with the lightweight feel, control, and adjustability of traditional strap bindings. Designed for snowboarders who want to spend less time strapping in and more time riding, the Speed-In Light delivers fast, easy entry and exit without sacrificing the secure fit and responsive performance riders expect.
At the heart of the Speed-In Light is an innovative rear-entry system that allows riders to step into their bindings quickly while maintaining the familiar support of traditional ankle and toe straps. Unlike systems requiring specialized snowboard boots, the Speed-In Light is designed to work with conventional soft snowboard boots, making it an appealing upgrade without replacing your existing footwear.
An ultra-lightweight aluminum chassis helps reduce overall weight while delivering efficient power transfer and quick response. The asymmetric Ergo-X highback offers a balance of lateral mobility and support, allowing riders to enjoy playful freestyle performance while maintaining the control needed for carving and exploring the mountain.
With a versatile medium flex rating of 6/10, the Speed-In Light provides a comfortable balance of forgiveness and responsiveness for riders who enjoy everything from groomers and side hits to park laps and all-mountain terrain.
Whether you're tired of sitting down to strap in after every lift ride or simply want a lighter, more convenient binding, the Bent Metal Speed-In Light offers a practical combination of speed, comfort, and performance.
