Bent Metal SPEED-IN PRO Snowboard Bindings

The Bent Metal SPEED-IN PRO is a snowboard binding designed for riders looking for both quick entry and a high level of precision on the snowboard. With a flex rating of 8/10, it’s aimed at intermediate and expert riders looking to tackle steep terrain, high-speed carving, and ambitious lines. Its Speed-In system bridges the gap between a traditional binding and a fully automatic entry system, offering an effective balance between quick entry and a secure fit. The Bent Metal SPEED-IN PRO is designed for those who don’t want to sacrifice control or responsiveness.

Quick entry and support: the Speed-In system designed for performance

The Speed-In system, which gives this snowboard binding its name, is designed to significantly speed up the process of getting your foot into the binding without sacrificing precision in support. Unlike a traditional strap-in system, which requires manually adjusting each strap, the quick-entry system featured here reduces the time it takes to step in while maintaining a firm, secure fit—essential for tackling challenging lines. This middle ground between conventional straps and fully automated systems is particularly well-suited for back-to-back sessions on varied terrain, where every second counts and confidence in the binding remains paramount.

Flex and responsiveness: an aluminum chassis built for the challenge

With a flex rating of 8 out of 10, the SPEED-IN PRO clearly falls into the category of stiff, responsive bindings. This high level of flex promotes rapid energy transfer between the rider’s body and the board, which translates into an immediate response to pressure—essential for high-speed carving or on steep slopes. The aluminum heel cup and aluminum frame contribute to this structural rigidity while keeping the overall weight in check. The responsive highback enhances the transmission of heel pressure, allowing you to initiate turns with precision and without any loss of feedback between the rider and the board. Finally, the design incorporates vibration damping during landings, which maintains comfort and control upon landing, even on hard snow.

Aluminum Construction: Structural Rigidity and Precise Feedback

The choice of aluminum for the heel cup and chassis of this snowboard binding is no accident. This material offers superior stiffness compared to nylon or standard composites, ensuring direct feedback from the snow surface to the rider’s foot. For riders using freeride or carving snowboards, this precise reading of the terrain is a tangible advantage. The aluminum construction also contributes to the overall durability of the binding, maintaining performance over time even with intensive use.

The Bent Metal SPEED-IN PRO is designed for advanced to expert riders who practice carving, freeriding on challenging terrain, or technical lines requiring responsiveness and precision. Its high flex, aluminum construction, and quick-entry system make it a logical choice for those who want to optimize every aspect of their riding without compromising on control.
