Bent Metal Forte

The Forte is a true all-mountain binding. With a medium flex rating of 6/10, it offers enough responsiveness for carving and speed, but remains forgiving enough for riders who want to explore the whole mountain, from groomers to side hits.

Yes, the Forte is highly compatible. It features a mounting system that works with both standard 2x4 insert patterns and Burton's Channel system, so it will fit the vast majority of snowboards on the market.

The magnesium fiber drive plate acts as a suspension system for your board. It provides a snappy, responsive feel that transfers energy directly from your boots to the edges, giving you more precision and control without making the binding feel overly stiff or harsh.

Yes, the Forte is designed for quick, on-hill customization. You can adjust the forward lean settings—10°, 14°, 18°, or 22°—entirely tool-free, allowing you to dial in your stance while you're already at the resort.

It is designed to be ergonomic, meaning it follows the natural angle of your lower leg. Most riders find it provides a more comfortable, intuitive connection that reduces fatigue during long days on the hill compared to traditional symmetrical highbacks.
