As you roll from heel to toe, the Pro-Line works with you, and focuses the movement right to the edges. The kingpin acts like a fulcrum giving high levels of power transmission and increased efficiency. The bushings themselves are interchangeable, and the Pro-Line comes with the softer 40 shore model as standard. As your riding style changes you can swap them out for stiffer ones if you’re looking for more response or a more aggressive feel.

“Despite its modest price tag, the Pro-Line still packs a pretty nifty punch”

The way the Pro-Line Hanger works stops you from having to crank your straps down super tight to get a responsive feel. As such, they use stripped back toe straps that grip round the front of your boot to keep it snug inside. And the ankle straps are their own Sieva style, moulding around your foot and eliminating hotspots and pressure points.

The Hanger transitions into the heelcup with the FM Highback sitting into it. The asymmetric shape is anatomically designed to follow the angles of your leg and gives more support where you need it. Notches in the sides of the highback let it flex easier for a more playful freestyle feel, you can tweak and poke to your hearts content with these bad boys.

If you’re looking to charge hard and really blast all over the mountain, you’d do better with one of the more aggressive options in the line, like the Drive or the Recon, but for those who are still finding their feet on the hill, the Pro-Line is hard to beat. Despite its modest price tag, the Pro-Line still packs a pretty nifty punch, this is pro level tech and performance coupled with a wallet friendly label.
