  • FullBED cushioning covers the entire baseplate
  • Gas pedals keep your heel back and provide better leverage

There’s a reason more pros, regardless of who’s paying them, choose the Cartel. Simply put, it’s got everything you could ask for—smoke-weight, diesel strength, and maxed out comfort in a shred-everything package. An ergonomically canted Team Skyback II and super-minimized Ultra Capstrap enhance control, while new FullBED cushioning and B3 Gel absorb negativity from harsh landings.

Features:

  • 30% Short-Glass/Nylon Composite A slightly higher amount of response and power without sacrificing mobility.
  • B3 Gel Heel Cushioning The same cushioning found in our high-end boots, B3 Gel lets you stomp flat landings without self-detonating.
  • Canted Living HingeTM This exclusive technology eliminates excess hardware and weight, and even allows you to adjust your Forward LeanTM independent of your hi-back rotation. Set your hi-back rotation once, never touch it again, and still be able to adjust the Forward Lean any time.
  • Dual-Component Dual-component hi-backs let us modify the flex profile by interchanging the frames on the spine. The spine maintains the structural integrity and flex of the hi-back, while the frame acts independently to support the boot. By doing this we can offer more comfortable and supportive hi-backs while eliminating dreaded calf bite.
  • NEW FullBED Cushioning System Found on the C60TM, C02TM, TriadTM, CartelTM, EscapadeTM, and LexaTM, NEW FullBEDTM baseplate padding offers a full coverage, cushioned platform that maximizes comfort while minimizing fatigue.
  • NEW Single-Component The simplicity of a one-piece design means immediate response that lets you feel the entire mountain. Through material blends we can then control the overall flex profile-from soft and surfy to ultra responsive.
  • Single-Component One material throughout the entire baseplate creates consistent response and feel for a versatile ride that excels on all terrain.
  • Smooth Glide Buckle Technology Buttery smooth entry and release, and unmatched strength are the trademarks of our Smooth GlideTM buckle technology. Polished, chrome-plated aluminum and lightweight polycarbonate levers give you season after season of premium ratcheting power. Best of all, our buckles are designed and built by us, not some shady supplier.
  • SuperstrapTM SuperstrapTM Construction 3D® Curved, Triple Axis Spine NeoPadding
  • Ultra Capstrap 3D® Curved, Triple Axis Spine Ultra-Minimized CapstrapTM Construction with True Wrap Toe Window Conformable from Capstrap or Toe Strap pdetail-bind-straps-ultra-capstrap.jpg

Adjustable, Excellent control, Awesome comfort

Rating:*****
I have used a few bindings such as Flows, Lamar, K2 cinch. I always had numbness in my feet, these bindings are so comfortable even when cranked down so hard your foot cant even wiggle you get no numbness. They are easily adjustable and the control I get from these bindings is unlike any binding I have ever tried, my board does what I command it to when I command it to.

These are great bindings. The highback gives you extra control in the park but the binding is still stiff enough to handle steep chutes. The capstrap is an extra added feature that really locks your heel in place. Definitely a must buy
