BENT METAL LIGHTNING SUPERMATIC®
Lightning-fast innovation meets game-changing convenience.
The crew at Bent Metal Binding Works have paired their revolutionary Supermatic® technology with their signature forward lean adjuster, creating what they’re calling “lightning in a binding.” And honestly? They’re not wrong.
The Lightning Supermatic® delivers what so many riders dream of: fully automatic step-in entry with a reliable two-strap ride feel. Step off the lift, drop your boot in, and the highback and straps snap into place like magic. When it’s time to bail? Just tap the release lever with a fingertip, and you’re free.
This is speed and simplicity without compromise.
Key Tech
Automatic Entry
No buckles, no fumbling. Just step in, stomp down, and ride away.
Universal Compatibility
Works with any boot brand—no need to buy a whole new setup.
Dual Entry
Prefer old school? Lightning still features conventional ankle and toe straps, so you get that classic two-strap feel if you want it.
Auto Highback & Straps
Flip up the highback, and the straps close automatically. Smooth.
Slip Plate + Heel Roller
Together, these create a catch-free, low-friction entry/exit system.
Heel Pedal & Release Lever
Simple mechanics that do exactly what they should: get you in fast, and out just as easy.
Bent Metal Exclusive Features
The Revolutionary Cube
The fastest forward lean adjuster in the game. Spin the cube to your preferred angle in 3° increments (10°–19°) — no tools needed. Urethane construction dampens shock and vibrations, while clear visual indicators show you the angle you’ve set.
Solid Power Highback
Direct power transfer and total control. Its asymmetric shape delivers ergonomic support for comfort and drive.
Canted Footbed & Heel Shock Pad
3° canted padding balances your stance, increases pop, and centers your weight. A built-in Heel Shock Pad takes the sting out of hard landings.
