Flow bindings are different, and that is exactly what makes them better. Flow created a new product for 2013, which out-performs everything else on the market. Flow is the originator of the “Speed Entry” binding, and now they went one step further. N.A.S.T.Y. – New Active Strap Technology : Game Changer!!! Performance, comfort and convenience: That’s the total package you get when you go with Flow.

What is different for 2013? New ideas, new materials, new technologies?

• N.A.S.T.Y. – New Active Strap Technology : Game Changer. Fastest in-and-out. Intuitive adjustability. Optimum performance and comfort.
• SpeedEntry has never been more convenient without sacrificing the superior performance, comfort and power transmission that Flow bindings are famous for. With our revolutionary New Active Strap Technology, the strap automatically lifts up when you open the reclining hiback and actively tightens again when you close the hiback. N.A.S.T.Y. reduces friction and creates more room so that getting in and out of your bindings is faster and easier than ever. We’re changing the game in binding performance.

Any new models in 2013 collection?

• NX2-series (NX2-GT, NX2-RS, NX2-SE, NX2-AT, Prima)
• These all new NX2 models are the most powerful binding systems out there due to its aluminum alloy 1-piece baseplate with Rocker technology that efficiently transfers energy directly to the board. Experience amazing support and a comfy ride with the length-adjustable 2.5º SlantPads and ultimate absorption of chatter and dampening landings with the OC-Kush basepad. The ModBack hiback with Aluminum alloy heelcup automatically triggers the New ActiveStrap Technology, while a 4-direction adjustable SupportPanel can be fully customized to suit your style.
• Choose from models with either FUSION or HYBRID PowerStraps and enjoy the unique combination of SpeedEntry and SideEntry functionality.

What is the most excited thing/model in upcoming collection? Why?

• NX2-GT – All-Mountain/Freestyle Binding. The all-terrain destroyer.  Technical performance with luxury in abundance. Panel-fused shaping of the new HYBRID PowerCapStrap keeps things super light and responsive, while N.A.S.T.Y. and the LSR-buckles allow SpeedEntry and SideEntry options and with set it and forget it convenience. Extra OC-Kush dampening under the forefoot absorbs harsh terrain and puts the Kush into comfort. Aluminum alloy rockered baseplate with 2.5º SlantPads, for response and support. 7 SupportPanel is a wider and asymmetrical SupportPanel made from our urethane.7-blend, to offer all-mountain support with some freestyle flex. KushControl hibackpad. Relatively stiff flex (4.5) for a sporty ride.

Any special dumping/impact system for softer landings?

• Landingpad Technology – Landingpads provide the direct connection between your boot and your board.
• The SlantPad full-length EVA-footbeds with 2.5º canting and adjustable toe-ramp optimize fit, support and energy transfer. Featured on NX2-series.
• The OC-Kush basepad with pop-through cushioning dampens landings, absorbs chatter and fits perfectly to the rockered baseplate shape for efficient energy transfer. Featured on NX2-series.

Any new or different straps?

• HYBRID PowerCapStrap – The PowerStrap is a revolutionary combination of Flow’s SpeedEntry convenience with conventional 2-strap SideEntry merging the best of both. Featuring our new LSR-buckles, the 3D-shaped anklestrap diagonally covers the mid-foot for pressure distribution and energy-transfer to the toe-side through the 3-point VeeToe mounting.
• Responsive and unrestricted, the new HYBRID PowerCapStrap delivers perfect boot positioning every time you kick in. Featured on all SE models as well as the NX2-GT

Will we see something new in 2013 collection with highbacks?

• ModBack hibacks – These modular hibacks separate the lower and upper zones, using a strong and reliable Aluminum alloy heelcup, which on the NX2-series also automatically triggers N.A.S.T.Y.
• The upper zone uses independently adjustable SupportPanels with model-specific shapes and flexes, to deliver fine-tuned performance.
• New for this collection are the Evo-C6, Evo.7, Apex.8 and Apex.6 SupportPanels which provide varying levels of asymmetrical support, anatomical fit, and flex.
