Binding Flex Black

Description
 At North, we understand comfort is critical to performance. That’s why we’ve dedicated two years to refining our best value lightweight binding, ensuring a balance of simplicity and support with a single fastening strap and anatomical cushioned footbed. We’ve identified exactly what you need and removed what you don’t, crafting every detail with fine precision.

Materials

Ideal for use with the 13/15/17m Reach

 Naturally playful and easy to ride, with high-performance attributes to guarantee you’ll never grow out of it.

 The Reach’s fuller profile generates power and efficiency, while its lighter weight 3-strut construction delivers quick, responsive steering in even the lightest wind. In the three larger sizes, the Reach is a powerful light wind kite, designed with a predictable, consistent drive forward for TwinTip riding long after everyone else has gone in.

Lightweight minimal design

 Simplicity and ergonomic comfort, with one single strap for even tension.

 We’ve balanced simplicity and support with a single fastening strap, and we’ve optimised the footbed thickness and durometer for cushioned comfort.

Super-fast assembly with maximum adjustability

 Move your bindings backwards (heelside) or forwards (toeside), set the position for a wide or narrow stance, and change your duck stance.

 Simply drop the entire binding onto the board and insert the screw where you want it. The intuitive Flex 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. The oval hole allows for both 6”- 6.5” industry standard screw spacings.

Anatomical comfort with grip when wet

 The anatomically-shaped footbed is engineered using a single layer of waterproof rubberized EVA foam.

 Lightweight, durable, and impact absorbing, with the grip pattern height increased for added comfort, its forward-angled anti-slip serration pattern helps your foot stay in place on various angles. The shock-absorbing footbed is ergonomically angled to encourage optimised weight distribution and knee alignment, provide core support and reduce pressure on your feet, knees, hips and back.

Seamless KnitFlex top strap

 The soft and comfortable single-fastening strap conforms to all foot shapes, while the rigid skeletal frame within the strap ensures a supportive locked feel.

 Our unique seamless KnitFlex lining 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 stitching to rub on your foot.

Extended lateral arch supports

 The inner and outer arch supports ensure an even distribution of weight and stabilise the tarsal bones, allowing for a more solid stance and maximum support during hard landings.

 The arch supports are extended inside the strap to ensure comfort where the top strap meets the footbed, protecting your foot from the most rigid load-bearing part of the binding. No blisters, no hard edges.

Raised toe grip

 The raised toe grip allows your toes to remain loose and spread out in their natural position, while also providing an edge for riders to get purchase on.

 The new softer toe bar has been engineered to suit different foot shapes, allowing the rider to grip on with toes and prevent your foot from slipping out during high rotation tricks and landings.

Shaped heel cup

 The shaped heel cup cradles the heel and stabilises the foot upon impact. We’ve engineered it wider on the new Flex so you can lock your foot sideways in both directions.

 

Injection Velcro strap

 Decreases sand and debris retention. Extended top flaps increase hold and reduce water lift.

 

Longitudinally convexed chassis shape

 The convex drives more pressure on to the tip and heel of the chassis when the binding is attached to the board, locking out sand and debris from under the binding.

 

FlipTech Mounting

 For 2023 and 2024, all of the North TwinTip boards have our new FlipTech Mounting System, with centreline inserts. This means if you wear out one side of your board, simply flip the bindings around and you've got a fresh new heelside rail again.

 Flex bindings are compatible with both FlipTech boards and offline board mounting systems. The '2” indicator on the Flex is for the boards that have flip tech, and is our recommended setup positioning for a 15/-15 degree duck stance.

Two size options

 A good starting point would be Men's US 9 (EU42.5) and above for binding size L/XL, 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. Positioning and adjustment settings are printed on the binding to make setup simple and intuitive. With more labels printed on the binding than ever, you’ll never have to refer to the User Manual again.
