Flow M11 Snowboard Binding

Flow M11 Snowboard Binding description

Flow got help from the BMW Designwork Group to give the M11 Snowboard Binding a seriously plush feel and incredible control to rip any line on the mountain.

Bottom Line: Bayerischen Motoren Werke? More like Bitchin' Mountain Weapon: the BMW-designed Flow M9 Binding.

There's a reason snowboard bindings have stuck to a two-strap design for the past 3 decades. The FLOW's looked like a good idea, but ultimately they were more difficult to get in/out of than regular bindings. 1.) They are impossible to get into while sitting down because the back has to fold down in order to get your boot in. Strapping in standing up is only remotely possible on the flats, so you're screwed if you have to strap in/out on the slopes. 2.) The highback needs to be super-stiff to accommodate the clamp mechanism, so if you're into a flexy binding, you're out of luck.3.) You have to exert a good amount of force to clamp/unclamp the highback which is in an awkward position, so you better have a good chiropractor.4.) You still need to adjust the foot flap to get a correct fit, so the clamp just ads another step to the process of getting strapped in. 5.) The foot flap is nowhere near as responsive as the traditional ankle/toe strap combination.

I just got these bad boys and they are definitely not the crappy plastic the other reviews gave. They are way good looking and a lot better than my original pair of flows that were that crap plastic! Weight is not too heavy but not too light. Definitely a pow binding!

these bindings do not have the "m-series aluminum" as advertised. HUGE difference, not something that i expected backcountry to overlook.

thanks for the upkeep guys!, love the bindings regardless after 5 days riding on them!

I haven't put 'em on yet, but they look pretty sweet, so I will post after a chance to ride 'em, but for now I am very happy.
