Tired of getting bypassed by tourists in the lift line and snaked by skiers at the top of the park? K2's Cinch CTS Snowboard Binding offers a comfortable and convenient alternative to traditional bindings for riders of all ability levels that makes getting in and out of your bindings, well, a cinch.
When you need to get your foot in your binding, simply pull the loop on the back of the highback to fold the highback and heelcup down so you can slide your boot right in. Not only does this make getting into and out of your bindings much quicker, but it also means that once you set your straps to the tightness you want them, you never have to adjust them again or find yourself muttering "just one more click ..."
Of course, the Cinch CTS is about more than just convenience. The designers at K2 cored out any unnecessary materials in the baseplate and highback to reduce weight so you don't have to choose between quick or comfy. Canted Harshmellow footbeds are angled to keep your feet in a more natural position while you're riding to reduce foot fatigue, and they absorb shock and dampen vibrations for a buttery-smooth ride.
Cinch technology's simple and fast operation gets you on the chair and the front of the line quicker than any binding. The Cinch CTS features Harshmellow smoothness for rock solid landings and easy exit to get you looping the runs faster and smoother than ever. Be faster than your friends.

K2 Cinch CTS Snowboard Bindings Reviews:
Reviews:
These binding are very legit. Easy to use and once you set them, your good to go. These can be a little squirrelly getting into if your not on a completely flat surface. But after a full day of boarding you'll get the hang of it. These bindings definitely save time at the top of the mountain. I'm always waiting on my friends to get strapped in. I know a few people have mentioned that the rear entry design doesn't transmit as much force which decreases your ability to control your board while riding. In this case, I think if you prefer really stiff binding than these may not satisfy your riding style. They are definitely a medium on the stiffness scale. Also, some dude had asked me if they have ever came undone while riding, the answer to that is no. They lock so your foot is completely secured and you can have total confidence they will not spontaneously come undone.
I am always looking for ways to escape time consuming binding and boot lacing and strapping. The cinch offers an excellent design. Once you set your front strap settings, you are good for the day. I have never had any issues with this system. I have had lots of issues with burton step-ins and the old k2 systems.
