In addition to the ideal all-rounder drive plate, these beauties have been blessed with Bent Metal’s nylon highbacks. Engineered with Nylon polymer, they’re blessed with a medium flex. These all-pleasing prodigies also come in the two most basic colours known to mankind – black and white.

“Adding comfort to these diverse doves are the lightweight mobility ankle straps”

Adding comfort to these diverse doves are the lightweight mobility ankle straps. In addition to comfort, they also provide a damp and forgiving ride while the toe strap’s light moulded grip makes sure the strap will stay in place. Like being in a really fun Alcatraz, there’s no escape and you’ll be perfectly secure.

The Bent Metal Metta bindings are tuned to a perfect all mountain medium flex. If you’re one to enjoy a varied day of ride, or simply unsure about what floats your boat (or board), these beauties work as well for a lap around the park with the boys as they do for a mellow cruise about the piste.

“I rode these badboys on a Gnu pro Choice and boy oh boy, it’s one of my favourite ever combos. I really enjoy the Upshot, but the Metta has that bit of extra response I was looking for when really gunning it.

“The drive plate gives instant response rather than having a foamy, blobby feeling”

The straps are lightweight and malleable, and they wrapped over my boot without leaving hotspots. I didn’t find the toe straps to be anything super special, but they hold the boot securely which is exactly what you want so I can’t complain.

I like the fact that there isn’t a bunch of excess padding in the footbed, the drive plate gives instant response rather than having a foamy, blobby feeling.

The ratchets are smooth and worked well even when the ladder was iced up. These are a comfortable binding, that offers insane amounts of control and board feel, I’m getting a pair this year for sure. ”
