Exclusive to K2, the TriPod™ Chassis takes center stage on the mid-flexing K2 Meridian. This technology works in harmony with the natural geometry of the human foot to find the sweet spot between energy transfer and board flex. We’ve also built in 3º of canting, and an adjustable power ramp places you in a balanced riding position while perfectly matching the shape of your boot outsole.
The urethane-based Tweakback™ highback is flexible and features our Gap Eraser™ forward lean adjustment, eliminating the need for a traditional lean-block - resulting in a lighter weight binding with a superior response.
Holding your boot securely into the binding, our 3D Bender™ ankle strap and PerfectFit™ 2.0 toe strap are supremely comfortable and allow maximum flexibility and support for grabs and tweaks. In addition, the ankle and toe straps utilize aluminum ratchets with EZ Feed design for lifelong durability and quick strapping in.
- TRIPOD™ CHASSIS: A way to rethink the traditional binding baseplate design. Designed to act as the most biomechanically efficient chassis possible, the TriPod™ baseplate features power transmission pods that coincide with the three points of contact of the foot and is designed to flex the way that the foot is naturally meant to.
- GF NYLON PERFORMANCE CHASSIS MATERIAL: Injected nylon with integrated fiberglass makes for more response and performance-focused chassis.
- STRAIGHTUP TWEAKBACK™: Injected urethane allows the highback to remain extremely flexible regardless of temperature for maximum medial and lateral tweak.
- BENDER™ ANKLE STRAP: Twist and shout. Our Bender™ strap is our most flexible padless ankle strap option. We created it to improve freestyle mobility and help you tweak until those bindings creak.
- PERFECT FIT™ 2.0 TOE STRAP: Patented toe strap technology that uses flexible hinges and lock levers to custom fit the toe strap to any snowboard boot silhouette.
- 3° CANTED FOOTBED: Canted 3° to match your natural leg position during riding. More support to the outside of the foot provides improved control while reducing fatigue.
- GAP ERASER™ FORWARD LEAN: Gap Eraser™ technology completely eliminates all gapping between the boot, highback, and heel cup, creating an even stronger bond between you and your snowboard. Better contact means better response.
- 100% TOOL-LESS ADJUSTMENTS: Once mounted to your board, all strap and highback adjustments can be done on-the-fly without the need for screwdrivers or other tools.
- ALUMINUM RATCHET: Aircraft-grade aluminum is used to make the most bombproof ratchets on the market.
- INTEGRATED EZ FEED HOUSING: A wider, tapered ladder opening allows for the easiest of entry.
- MINI MOUNT DISC: Compatible with our TriPod™ Chassis, the mini disc takes up a smaller footprint when mounted, allows for uninhibited board flex, and fits with 4 hole, 3 hole, and channel mounts.
