Raiden Bindings Raiden 0 Snowboard Binding - 2008

this is my favorite binding... it has an awesome "rad" airbag in the heel for all of those high impact landings and a comfortable ride all around... it also has a narrower, super cushy, heel strap so you have a little more movement for freestyle riding.... the revert toe strap allows you to ride it any way you want and the aluminum ratchets are smooth working and long lasting.... the highback is a responsive but lightweight perfect flexing highback for all around riding... and it has a blended baseplate with an aluminum heel cup for response and a nylon baseplate for a softer and more damp riding feel..... this binding also comes with a 2 year warranty and is awesome....

these bindings are ok they are good at first but all of a sudden the highback came off and the threads inside were all stripped
I still like them

I really like the way these bindings feel. Super light weight goodness. Responsive enough to shred just about anywhere but kill it in the park. Great flex and the airbag in the heal has really done it's job for me on more than one occasion. Flat landing never feels good but I definitely noticed a difference with the airbags.
What I didn't like is that they feel kinda desposible.. Mostly because I destroy bindings unfortunately. But if you do buy these be careful with the plastic pieces when you are adjusting the binders. They can get stripped and muffed up pretty easy if you're not soft with em.

The binding is very comfortable and is responsive enough even though it's on the softer side of their line. Almost anything can be adjusted, in most cases even without unmounting the binding. Looks like the guy who designed them knew what he's doing.
However, agree with a "toy" comment before. On the second day a toe strap broke, and it was a challenge to find a spare, nobody just carries them (big thanks to a guy who gave a pair of those for free). Then a screw that holds heel cup fell off - found a replacement in the nearest hardware store. The heel cap itself scratches very easily...
So if you want a good binding and don't mind having a full backpack of spare parts with you - take em.

The binding is great , very comfy. a little too soft in the highback for me and not that great on deep snow. After a week it began to fall apart, one strap broke and the airbag just flew away on a shitty halfpipe run. They were as a toy. Still love nitro boards and boots.

these were the worst bindings i have ever had. within two weeks of buying them they broke, and then nitro sent me a used pair for my warranty. WEAK SAUCE. go with salomon or union.
