Bent Metal SPEED-IN FLEX Snowboard Bindings

The Bent Metal SPEED-IN FLEX is a snowboard binding designed for riders seeking quick entry without compromising ride comfort. Its quick-entry system, combined with a 4/10 flex —described as medium-soft—makes it the most forgiving option in the Speed-In line, designed to suit both riders looking to improve their skills and those with less power who want a binding that’s easier to flex. Designed for all-mountain use, it meets the demands of a full day on the mountain across varied terrain. Its promise: a predictable and comfortable ride, accessible right from the very first hours on the mountain.

Quick entry and everyday comfort

The distinctive feature of the Bent Metal SPEED-IN FLEX snowboard bindings is their quick-entry technology, known as “speed-entry.” The Auto Open system makes it easy to step into the binding without any fiddly adjustments, which is a real advantage on the lifts or when fresh snow has settled on the straps. This entry system speeds up the process while maintaining the characteristic hold of a traditional strap binding. For riders who are chaining together runs, this time savings at the top of the slopes quickly becomes a decisive factor.

Medium-soft flex and all-mountain performance

With a flex rating of 4/10, the Bent Metal SPEED-IN FLEX falls within the soft-to-medium range, suitable for riders who prioritize forgiveness and the ease of initiating turns. This flex level promotes progressive power transfer, which is particularly beneficial on varied terrain or during light freestyle sessions. The Flex Control Drive Plates are the key technical element behind this personalized response: removable composite fiber panels integrated into the footbed create specific flex patterns, allowing for fine-tuning of the binding’s performance to match the rider’s profile. The flexible chassis of the FT-4 Nylon Baseplate also helps absorb vibrations, for a more comfortable ride on hard or groomed snow.

Highback and Adjustments for a Custom Fit

The ERGO-X highback is designed to conform to the natural shape of the boot, reducing pressure points during a long day of skiing. It is tilt-adjustable, allowing you to set the forward lean according to your preferred riding position: a steeper angle enhances responsiveness in turns, while a more upright position preserves freedom of movement, especially for tricks or park skiing. This adjustability makes the SPEED-IN FLEX adaptable to different body types and riding styles, without requiring complex tools.

Compatibility and Mounting on the Board

Bent Metal SPEED-IN FLEX snowboard bindings are available in three sizes (S, M, L) to accommodate a wide range of shoe sizes, in a unisex version. The FT-4 nylon baseplate ensures standard mounting on the board. Before purchasing, it is recommended that you verify compatibility between the binding size and your boot size, as well as your board’s disc system, to ensure optimal assembly.

For all-mountain riders seeking everyday practicality and comfort on varied terrain, the Bent Metal SPEED-IN FLEX bindings offer a well-balanced combination of easy entry, forgiving flex, and highback adjustability. They’re particularly well-suited for riders looking to improve their skills or those who want a responsive binding without excessive stiffness, so they can fully enjoy every run on the mountain.
