Ride Specter Snowboard Bindings 2026 - Black
Freestyle Performance Defined
At a time when many of our competitors are focused on gimmicky, clunky, over designed bindings that prioritize the number of times you bend over per run over actual snowboarding performance- RIDE introduces the Specter. The lightest weight, highest performance freestyle binding ever made. We stripped the Specter down to assure performance is the priority. The Specter is built off our A-Series chassis, this aluminum chassis offers light weight durability backed by our lifetime warranty. The unique properties of aluminum allow the binding to flex with your board providing the ultimate freestyle feel. We’ve optimized the forward lean angle and flex to be perfect for freestyle riding and with the new flat nylon highback we’ve eliminated the forward lean block. Let’s be honest, you were going to take that thing off anyway to save the weight. The all-new ankle strap uses a urethane material to create a medium flexing frame, cushioned with a softer material to provide better pressure distribution when tightened. Making this strap one of the most comfortable in the line. The minimalist toe strap will fit over the top or the front of your boot without adding any additional weight. The Specter is 30 years of freestyle snowboarding dominance refined into its most basic form.
FEATURES:
A-Series Aluminum Chassis:
The A-Series Chassis provides the reactive flex and power transfer of aluminum underfoot. The extruded aluminum heel-cup provides ultimate toe heel response. The A-Series Chassis was designed to be less rigid that previous designs allowing the aluminum to flex more under the rider’s weight allowing for a much more reactive ride. Because the Chassis is 100% aluminum, it is narrower than nylon or plastic chassis allowing the board to flex more freely from tip to tail.
Nylon Highback:
Traditional Highback material that offers a predictable mix of response and comfort.
Two-Piece Ankle Strap:
Designed to provide comfort and response. The two piece strap utilizes two different types of plastic, one more rigid strap to provide the necessary response and another urethane piece that assures the strap is comfortable and stays in place over your boot. There is no additional padding to bunch up and create hotspots on your boot.
Minimalist Toe Strap 2.0:
Further improving on Ride’s Minimalist Toe Strap, the Minimalist Toe Strap 2.0 keeps the same look and feel with a closer boot to binding fit to maximize performance and boot hold.
Linkage Ratchets:
Designed to improve ladder durability and eliminate ratchet wag, resulting in a smoother user experience with the same hold you expect.
Canted Footbeds:
Plastic Mounting Disc:
The plastic disc offers more lateral flex than aluminum for the rider that is focused on comfort and flex over hard charging performance.
Fully Adjustable Chassis:
In simple terms, this binding is adjustable, giving you the ability to get the perfect fit between your binding and boots.
