Who Is The Bent Metal Transfer For?

If you’ve seen Jamie Lynn ride, you’ll have an idea what the Bent Metal Transfer is all about- painting big lines, charging steep and deep, and hucking off every natty feature in sight. The flex is only a touch above middle, but thanks to the underfoot drive plates, the response is still up there, as such intermediate and above riders would get the most out of a pair of Transfers.

Baseplate

Adjustability is the name of the game with the Transfer, from the bottom up this is a binding that’s designed to be as versatile as possible. Instead of traditional gas pedals, Magnesium Drive Plates underfoot function like miniature snowboards with independent cores and topsheets, full of energy for explosive rebound. They’re fully interchangeable for stiffer or softer options to allow you to really customise your experience, depending on your riding style.

The two-piece chassis is fully size adjustable to allow for the perfect fit, and the Transfer uses a mini disc that’s compatible with both 4×4 and Channel systems, for added underfoot feel the disc itself is smaller to interfere less with the boards natural flex pattern.

Straps and Highbacks

The mid-flex Performance Polymer Nylon Highback is well-suited for a daily driver, delivering solid performance whether you’re tweaking through the park or pumping turns on piste.

Bent Metal’s Cube FLAD is easily one of the best methods in the game. Easy to use and effective, just twist the urethane cube in the middle of the highback to your desired angle and Bob’s your uncle. Forward lean made simple.

With their rugged aluminium buckles and lightweight moulded grip, the toe straps sit across your boot for maximum security when you’re strapped in. Whilst the Medium Dual Band Ankle Strap offers comfort and support across a broad range of conditions.

With 3 different colourways and an assortment of underfoot Drive Plates, the Transfer can be tailored to your vibe and style. Everything about the Transfer is built to perform across all terrain, in every scenario and in any weather. Like any all-rounder, the Transfer will get beat out by something specific, but if you’re looking for one binder to do it all, then this is a top choice.
