What are the advantages of Flow bindings?
Still unsure whether snowboard bindings from Flow are right for you? Below we list all the advantages of these snowboard bindings with the well-known rear entry.
- Quick entry with a Flow binding
The most well-known advantage of these popular bindings is that you can step in easily and quickly. Also called 'Speed Entry bindings'. Why is that? Very simple. The high back of the Flow snowboard binding folds back using the snaplock. This creates enough space at the back to slide your snowboard boot into the binding. No more sitting on your butt to strap up your snowboard binding! How nice is that?
- Powerful and comfortable Power Straps
Another advantage is that the Flow bindings are comfortable. The large wide straps distribute pressure well over the boot. This minimizes pressure points so you hardly feel the bindings. As a result, you barely notice the binding around your foot. On most Flow binding models you can choose between two different straps:
Flow Fusion snowboard binding
This is the most traditional strap from Flow. This large and wide strap provides powerful response and directness.
Flow Hybrid snowboard binding
The Hybrid PowerStraps connect the ankle strap with a more conventional toe strap for the perfect mix of control and flexibility.
- Optimal energy transfer through the Power Triangle
Because of the steel cable that runs between the high back and the baseplate, the Flow binding responds super directly during a backside turn.
The most popular Flow binding models
Thanks to the Active Strap Technology, getting in and out of a Flow binding has never been easier. When the high back folds open, the strap moves upward slightly, creating even more space to step in. For example, the Flow Omni, a good women snowboard binding, is equipped with such a strap.
Flow NX2 bindings
The Flow NX2 is for every snowboarder looking for a strong, stiff and direct snowboard binding that offers lots of support. Because the highback is reinforced with fiberglass and equipped with an asymmetrical support panel combined with the 'Active Strap Technology', the binding is highly adjustable and provides super-fast entry. If you want even more response you can also look at the Flow NX2 GT
The newest Flow binding models
For the winter of 2021, Flow bindings introduced a whole new line of straps. The Fusion strap and the Hybrid strap have been transformed into Powerstraps and both are now made of 3D-molded EVA. A Fusion powerstrap offers a one-piece powerstrap allowing you to get in and out of the binding easily while maintaining control, grip and comfort. The Hybrid powerstrap still has the toe-strap for those looking for more control.
Flow Snowboards
You might even still have one yourself, a snowboard from Flow, and after years of faithful service you might be looking for a new board from this fine brand. Unfortunately Flow no longer makes snowboards themselves, but don’t worry — this line has been taken over by Nidecker snowboards. If you for example had a Flow Merc and are looking for a new version of it, the Nidecker Merc is its successor! The same applies to Flow snowboard boots. These are now also called Nidecker but are still made with the traditional Flow fit. In the past you had, for example, the Flow Helios, and it is now called the Nidecker Helios. Are you overwhelmed by all the options and would you like advice? We have worked for years with both snowboard brands and can therefore tell you exactly which Nidecker board is the best successor to your Flow snowboard.
What are the best Flow bindings?
We regularly get asked what the best snowboard bindings are. A Flow binding or a traditional strap binding? We are very enthusiastic about the brand Flow, but we cannot say they are better or worse than the traditional strap binding. It remains a matter of personal preference. We can, however, debunk the notion that Flow bindings are not stable enough, or that there is play in Flow bindings. What is important when purchasing Flow bindings is that you set them up correctly for the boot. In addition, your snowboard boots must fit well. Experience shows us that a large group of snowboarders use boots that are too big. That feels comfortable but when you go snowboarding you will notice that you slide around. With a strap binding you can cheat a bit by tightening the binding more. You should really avoid doing that because it creates pressure points in your boot. When you step into a Flow binding with boots that are too large you will keep sliding in your boot. If you then close the Flow binding too tightly you will have more difficulty getting in and out. Besides, you can adjust many aspects of the bindings. Find this difficult? Visit our snowboard shop and we will help you with it.
Parts for Flow bindings
Nothing is more annoying than losing a part of your Flow binding while you are on the mountain. It is therefore important to regularly check whether all the screws are still tight. If you do lose a part or a part of your Flow snowboard binding breaks, you can turn to us for parts for Flow bindings. The straps, screws or ratchets can be found in the snowboard binding parts. First determine which type of Flow binding you have and look at the image to see which part you need.
