Medium Flex

AERON Base – Introduced in the Fall of 2017 after three years of R&D. It is a stronger and lighter base using an industry first construction method, overmolding forged aluminum with the highest grade polyamide nylon. It has a smaller disc, smaller footprint, and toolless size adjustability. It provides unparalleled fit regardless of boot brand and size.

Boot to Board Full EVA Heel Pad – Footpad with full boot to board EVA under the heel bone.

Boot to Board Full EVA Toe Ramp – The adjustable toe padding works like a gas pedal and cushioning at the same time thanks to the dual density foam in the toe area. It's soft enough to cushion impact and firm enough to not lose power transferred to the toe edge.

Overmolded Extruded Aluminum Heelcup – This heel enforcement is overmolded inside the heel cup to form an indestructible bond. Switchback is the first binding company to use this technology to create a unique blend of materials, offering an optimal combination of weight, strength, and flex.

Flatback – Eiki Helgason designed this highback for maximum tweakage from tip to tail while still tall and responsive vertically. With adjustable forward lean to dial in desired responsiveness, these highbacks are anatomically shaped to fit the riders natural stance.

Ergonomic Highback Design – Switchback's signature hole-in-the-highback design optimizes strength vs flex. When pressure is applied to the heelside for maximum power transfer, and when the boot flexes sideways the binding flexes as well.

Locking Highback Holder – Switchback's signature heelcup locks the highback in the upright position, but a small force (like a chairlift hitting the binding) will release to the highback to prevent the binding and board getting stuck.

Toolless Highback Replacement – Easily removable highback for packing or switching out to match different riding conditions.

Miller Strap – Milled to save weight while being flexible and form fitting. They're made of a grippy and flexible TPU material and pre-curved to fit the contours of any boot. These straps aid in freestyle riding where flex and mobility are key.

Ergonomically Shaped No Pressure Heel Straps – These straps are molded in a way that eliminates pressure points.

Toolless Strap Position Adjustability – Patented pin system that eliminates the need for hardware to change toe or heel straps. This makes switching straps and adjusting strap position easy and with no need for tools.

Easy Access Ergonomically Shaped Heel Ladders – The heelstrap ladders are shaped to bend out before they wrap around your boot. This design spreads the pressure of the strap evenly, eliminating pressure points, and making it easier to enter the binding since the strap opens to the outside.

Triple Action Heel Ratchet – The triple tooth ratchet saves time strapping in. Created with the highest grade aluminum spring system to make sure they keep performing.

Triple Action Toe Ratchet – The toe ratchet has triple teeth to make each action super effective.

Channel Compatible Minidisk – The lighter and reduced footprint of the minidisk allows for a closer feel to the boards flex. Fully compatible with all mounting systems.

Over-Molded Forged Aluminum Power Rods – This helps transfer pressure from toe to heelside with minimal power loss. The aluminum rods are overmolded inside the heel cup to form an indestructible bond with no need for extra hardware.
