The Nidecker Muon-X Snowboard Bindings feature a mellow flex alongside an asymmetric design, the Muon-X is a great value binding for beginner to intermediate riders looking to up their game. The glass-filled nylon baseplate and hiback have been designed for a perfect fit with any Nidecker boots. Offering great heel-to-toe response, the Muon's use off-axis power beams to deliver energy more efficiently into the edge, but keep the binding less stiff laterally so it’s more forgiving if your technique is less than perfect.

The extra flex also comes in handy when you’re ready to try some presses and start tweaking your grabs. A robust ComfortFit ankle strap offers plenty of padding and can be adjusted easily without any tools. The cutting-edge AuxTech® toe strap cleverly expands around your boot for awesome support. Both straps feature lightweight nylon Proton-Ratchets boasting a smooth and reliable action. This is a comfortable, versatile and super durable binding that you won’t outgrow in a hurry.

Response/Flex: 6 out of 10. Forgiving enough for beginners while being stiff enough for the advanced intermediate riders.
