Flow M9 2012 Rat/Rod Snowboard Bindings : The M9 is the premier all-mountain and freestyle oriented binding for riders that prefer the feeling of a molded DuPont Zytel Nylon baseplate. The SnugFit molded baseplate delivers a precise connection between boot and binding, and the 30% fiber-reinforced Zytel channels power efficiently to the board. The 15% fiber-reinforced Zytel hiback is responsive but flexy enough to allow for freestyle tweaks. The I-Flex PowerStrap with deep side cutouts provides ideal flex for freestylers and all-mountain riders, while the 3D-shape gives a direct boot-to-binding-to-board feel for those powerful toeside turns.
