The A-4 is designed for the rider looking for high-end materials and a high performance all-mountain binding without breaking the bank. The A-4 uses the same super responsive and light weight highback we've had on our premium Capo models in years past. The One-Piece Ankle Strap offers performance and comfort without bulk and weight. The Cored Nylon Highback is designed for response without the weight. The A-Series Aluminum Chassis provides the reactive flex and power transfer of aluminum with less rigidity than previous designs. The canted footbed aligns your joints with a 2.5 degree angle while providing more leverage over the tip and tail of your board. If you are on a tight budget, but demand lightweight all mountian performance, this is the binding for you.
