Bent Metal Forte Snowboard Bindings

The Magnesium Fiber Drive Plate acts as a customizable suspension system. By swapping or adjusting the plate, you can alter the binding's flex profile to match your riding style—making it stiffer for aggressive carving or softer for a more playful, forgiving feel.

While a 6.5/10 flex is technically a medium-stiff rating, it is very approachable for progressing riders. It offers enough support to keep you stable at higher speeds without being so rigid that it punishes minor mistakes, making it a great choice for intermediate riders looking to level up.

Very easy. The Forte uses Bent Metal's 'Revolutionary Cube' system, which allows you to adjust your forward lean settings (10°, 14°, 18°, or 22°) tool-free. You can simply rotate the cube on the highback to dial in your preference right at the top of the lift.

The Forte uses a Mini Pivot Disk mounting system, which is compatible with most standard 4x4 and 2x4 mounting patterns found on modern snowboards. If you are riding a board with a Burton Channel system, you will need to ensure you have the appropriate mounting hardware.

The asymmetric nylon highback is shaped to mirror the natural contours of your lower leg and stance. This design provides better lateral support for carving while allowing for the natural flex and movement required when tweaking grabs or navigating uneven terrain.

The Grip Form toe strap is designed to wrap around the front of your boot rather than over the top, providing maximum surface area contact. This creates a locked-in feel that eliminates pressure points and ensures your boot stays firmly seated in the binding during aggressive maneuvers.
