FASE® Snowboard Bindings
FASE®: the next-generation fast entry snowboard binding system — from chairlift to run in seconds. Built on the trusted two-strap design, FASE® adds intuitive technologies that make getting in and out faster and smoother than ever — with no new tricks to learn.
The FASE® Fast Entry System is built around three key technologies: AutoBack, which automatically closes around your boot; Locked-In Toe Strap, designed to stay perfectly in place; and FastStrap, a long ankle strap for smooth, one-handed strapping.
No special boots, no proprietary boards, no learning curve — it feels just like your traditional two-strap bindings, only ultra-fast. Alternatives include Supermatic, CLEW and Step-On.
FASE® Fast Entry System: Two straps, automatic speed
FASE® redefines strapping in while keeping the classic two-strap feel. Step in with one hand, fine-tune on the fly, and enjoy the familiar locked-in comfort and control you trust.
FASE® Technology
- AutoBack: the highback automatically closes around your boot and opens when you lift your heel. Folds flat for skating, lifts or storage.
- FastStrap: an extended ankle ladder that stays engaged for quick, one-handed use. Classic ratchet for on-the-fly tension adjustment.
- Locked-In Toe Strap: set it once and forget it. Stays in position to complement the fast entry system. LSR 2.0 buckle allows micro-adjustments anytime.
Key Advantages
- Fast entry: effortless, one-hand strapping with on-the-fly fine tuning.
- Rider-built design: engineered, tested, and backed by snowboarders.
- Uncompromised performance: the comfort, response, and feel of a two-strap binding — in any condition.
- Universal fit: compatible with any boot, board, and insert pattern.
- Lifetime system warranty: mountain-proof durability for every ride.
How It Works
How do I get in?
- Open mode: AutoBack tilted back, FastStrap wide open.
- Slide your boot in and catch the toe strap. The AutoBack closes automatically while the Toe Strap stays in place.
- Buckle down only the FastStrap — one hand is enough.
Tip: kick the AutoBack forward to fold it flat for lifts, skating, or storage.
How do I get out?
- Open the FastStrap until it stops.
- Bend your knee slightly, lift your heel, and step out — the AutoBack opens automatically.
Tips & Advice
- First ride: adjust the Locked-In Toe Strap once before the season and leave it as is.
- Lifts & storage: fold the AutoBack forward for comfort and easy handling.
- Minimal design: ultra-light mechanism with no added bulk or height underfoot.
Weight & Volume
- FASE® mechanism: approx. 40 g (1.4 oz).
- Example: a medium unisex binding with FASE® weighs around 870 g (30 oz), comparable to top-tier two-strap models.
- Footprint: identical base length to the non-FASE® version — no added volume underfoot.
Compatibility
- Boots: any brand or model.
- Boards: supports 2×4, 4×4, and Channel mounting patterns.
- Riders: ideal for all-mountain, freeride, or park.
