BINDING COMPONENTS:

[ The three elements that power the FASE fast entry system ]

The key to the revolutionary FAST entry system, the AutoBack allows for hands-free entry to the binding. This intuitive design automatically closes as the boot enters the binding and opens when it’s time to unstrap. The AutoBack also fold flat for skating, chair, lifts, and storage.

An innovative long ankle ladder that remains connected for ultra-fast, one-handed strapping-in. With a classic ratchet design to fine tune ankle strap tension, the FastStrap complements the AutoBack’s auto automatic closure system so riders can strap in faster than ever before.

Simply set it and forget it. Designed to remain in position to complement the Fast Entry System. The locking slap ratchet 2.0 and unique tri-toothed ladders keep the strap in position for fast entry and exit, with easy on-the-fly adjustments.

 

Experience the evolution of snowboarding's most iconic binding. The Katana AW FASE® takes everything legendary about the original and cranks it up a notch with the revolutionary FASE® Fast Entry System. Strap in faster, ride harder, and enjoy the same hyper-adjustable performance and featherweight design that made the Katana a classic. Whether you're charging the mountain or just want to spend less time fiddling with bindings, this is your ticket to pure riding bliss.
