These are great bindings, pretty solid and durable. So far the only problems i've had with them is the strap getting stripped, last season i went through two, Which its probably not the binding just me but i see that other people on here have also had the same problem so idk whats up, just gets annoying having to stop every couple of minutes to tighten the binding.

I’ve had these bindings for one season so far and they work great. The cams on the buckle are quick and easy - even when packed with snow and ice. Good adjustments especially the toe cap…you can ride it high on top on low in the front or anywhere in between. Feels like you’re locked and loaded when you buckle in. They feel really solid when riding. I have a medium flex boot and the combo seems to work well so far. Can’t believe this is the only review…I see a good number of SPI’s on the slope.

I really don't know what these guys are talking about above rating these three or four stars. I am a huge dude, maybe you've seen me on the slopes, the only brown guy riding whose 6'4'' 265 lbs. Needless to say I ride hard and do damage to everything I ride or strap into. These bindings are no different and have held up to the test. The convertible strap is rad, I always go over the toe, but what's sick is it gives you almost limitless potential on where to have your toe strap. It's ultra sickness; pull the boot in tight or keep it snug to the board. Bottom line. The SPI's are a Super Pimp Item.

I've owned and riden the Burton line (Mission-CO2) and after switching to Ride's SPis I wouldn't go back. The aluminum chasis is bomb-proof. The straps are solid (don't break consistently like my Burtons did) and easier to adjust on the fly. The convertible toe strap works a lot better than the cap strap. Ride's ankle strap is also better designed, they are flatter and wider than the Burton line, which makes them lighter and more comfortable. I also like the base of Ride's bindings more than Burton's. It has a rubber sole on it that protects my board's top sheet instead of digging grooves into it like the plastic base of Burton's bindings do.

As with a previous poster, I'm a sturdy guy myself. Or I was last year. At about 260 pounds, I bought the SPi's. And they ratchet down tight and take a beating, I'll say that for them. Very little wiggle even with my hos physique hitting park jumps like I'm trying to tear them off the board.

Pros: convertible toe strap is nice; nice ratchet lock down; feel very heavy duty and bombproof

Cons: putting these on lockdown will create some pressure points; I've cramped circulation to my feet more than once because there is very little about the bindings that's cushy; little screw thingies for strap adjustment seem to slip sometimes

I'm in the process of replacing my SPi's. I ride a small 350' hill in the midWest and a lot of park now. I would like a little more flex and cushion as I've become a better rider. However, I'll keep my SPi's for trips to the big mountains when I know I'll want a little more stiffness and support.

Good bindings, especially if you like a firm ride.

Really good bindings. Rode 3 pairs of cartels and they all broke in different ways, last year chairlift tapped my highback and it just cracked, all plastic! Spi's are dope just as customisable as cartels and basplate is light metal. One thing, like all bindings ive hade halfway through the season the teeth on my toe strap gets worn down its not the binding its me haha. Ive replaced it but cant find a right fit strap, when i stomp a landing toe strap pops outta ratchet. So everytime i get outta the landing i pull over to strap before next hit, so annoying. Like i said not a fault of the binding just alot of riding i guess. So dogfunk you got one that fits for toe strap ill buy a few when i order a jacket before 1st chair!
