Playful power for freestyle and beyond.
The 2025/26 Bent Metal Anvil brings a smooth mix of comfort, pop, and response. Its medium flex hits the sweet spot—supportive without being too stiff—while the Magnesium Fiber Drive Plate adds lively energy underfoot. The Cored X-Frame highback keeps things supportive but still forgiving, and the Uni-Body chassis helps dampen chatter for a smoother ride. Comfortable dual-band ankle straps and a Grip Form toe strap keep your boots locked in, and forged aluminum buckles handle the ratcheting with ease. Ready for park laps, carving groomers, or cruising the resort, the Anvil is a versatile binding that feels light, responsive, and fun. Curious how it rides?
