Anyone had a change to try them in 09?

Opinions?  Looking for binding to pair with my new Angus.

Best,

Hi dsc3,

I didn’t try the Apo Expressos myself yet but I can tell you what I heard about them before:
Most of the ppl I asked about them said that they were slightly better than the K2 Cinch and technically more advanced.

I tried the K2 Cinch and wasn’t completely blown away from them but that was probably because I am just not too much into this whole fast step-in thing. In case you are, go and try the Expressos, I don’t think that you will go far wrong with them, looking for a hybrid binding~

Cheers, Tobi

Thanks again Zoryfl,

Do you have any experience with the k2 Auto? Those look interesting; seem to be light but well built.

If I go with traditional, what are your thoughts on the Burton Cartel? 

Best,

Darren

Unfortunately I don’t know anything about the k2 Auto in detail. But I thought about them just as you do, as I considered buying them as well- super light and some interesting strap-tightening tech. Although, in the end, I wasn’t sure to trust the new tech but as I read, it seems to workout just fine. Sorry I can’t tell you more..

The Cartel is a pretty decent oldschool strap-on binding! I read about some ppl having problems with the heigth and the steepness of the highback but it’s simple math with bindings which are getting sold massively- the more riders, the more complaints.

I would get myself a pair of Union’s or Drake’s before buying some Burton binding for the same money, though. Same old story, you know.. Might want to check out the Union Force, looking for a regular allmountain binding.

Cheers again

All good info brother.

I have looked at the Solomans, Burtons, Rides, k2, apo, new gnus….but not familiar with the Unions.  Ill look right now.  Appreciate all the help.  This site rocks. 

Best,

Darren
