Ride Specter Snowboard Bindings - Men'sby Ride

Product Info

At a time when many snowboard brands are focused on gimmicky, clunky, over-designed bindings that prioritize the number of times you bend over per run over actual snowboarding performance- RIDE introduces the Specter. The lightest weight, highest performance freestyle binding they've made. Performance is the Specter's priority. Built off Ride's A-Series chassis, which offers lightweight durability and the unique properties of aluminum allow the binding to flex with your board providing the ultimate freestyle feel. Ride has adjusted the forward lean angle and flex to be perfect for freestyle riding, as well. The all-new ankle strap uses a urethane material to create a medium flexing frame, cushioned with a softer material to provide better pressure distribution when tightened. The toe strap will fit over the top or the front of your boot without adding any additional weight. The Specter is 30 years of freestyle snowboarding dominance refined into its most basic form. Did we mention it's backed by Ride's lifetime warranty?

Technical Features

Flex Rating

Softer-flexing bindings are perfect for those looking to tweak, butter, and freestyle their way all over the mountain. This softer flex also allows for those looking to progress or cruise all day long without getting punished by an overly-responsive binding.

Plastic Mounting Disc

The plastic disc offers more lateral flex than aluminum for the rider that is focused on comfort and flex over hard charging performance.

A-Series Aluminum Chassis

The A-Series Chassis provides the reactive flex and power transfer of aluminum underfoot. The extruded aluminum heel-cup provides ultimate toe heel response. The A-Series Chassis was designed to be less rigid that previous designs allowing the aluminum to flex more under the rider’s weight allowing for a much more reactive ride. Because the Chassis is 100% aluminum, it is narrower than nylon or plastic chassis allowing the board to flex more freely from tip to tail.

Nylon Highback

Traditional Highback material that offers a predictable mix of response and comfort.

Two-Piece Ankle Strap

Designed to provide comfort and response. The two piece strap utilizes two different types of plastic, one more rigid strap to provide the necessary response and another urethane piece that assures the strap is comfortable and stays in place over your boot. There is no additional padding to bunch up and create hotspots on your boot. 

Minimalist Toe Strap 2.0

Further improving on Ride’s Minimalist Toe Strap, the Minimalist Toe Strap 2.0 keeps the same look and feel with a closer boot to binding fit to maximize performance and boot hold.

Linkage Ratchets

Designed to improve ladder durability and eliminate ratchet wag, resulting in a smoother user experience with the same hold you expect.

Canted Footbeds

An ultra-light footbed that uses subtle angles to align the ankles and knees to a more natural and comfortable position. The angle also gives leverage to press the board for huge pop, without affecting your preferred stance width.

Fully Adjustable Chassis

In simple terms, this binding is adjustable, giving you the ability to get the perfect fit between your binding and boots.
