Pivotmount Max
A Rome exclusive binding innovation, PivotMounts are small adjustable pieces that allow riders to move the position of their ankle straps on their boots. The higher up on your boot the ankle strap sits, the more power and turn initiation. The lower the strap goes, the more surfy and tweakable your riding will be.
PivotMount Max provides 8 different strap options per side of the ankle strap, 64 configurations total.
Highback Rotation
Designed so riders can adjust their highbacks to mirror the angle of their heelside edge for maximum power transfer.
Highback Canting
Built so that riders can adjust the angle of their highback to mirror the angle of their lower leg for increased connection and stability.
Adjustable Baseplate
Created to help fit a wider range of boot models and sizes.
Straps
ProFlex Ankle Strap
Powered by AuxTech®, these are incredibly expandable, super-durable and provide superior locked-in hold.
ProGrip Toe Strap
Powered by AuxTech®, this innovative network of small hinges provides unmatched hold and locked-in grip.
Fast Entry
Our bindings feature FastEntry Technology for super quick and easy entry into the binding. The pre-curved ladder on the ankle and toe straps are designed to pop open and help keep the straps out of your way while getting your boot into the binding. Strap in faster and easier thanks to FastEntry!
Bombproof Buckles
Our BombProof Buckles are a one-piece forged aluminum construction for better grip and durability. Built with wider stance teeth area for more engagement, this makes for easier ratcheting and increased protection from wear and tear to your ladder straps.

Customer Reviews
Damp but responsive, all the adjustment you'll ever need, feel quality made. Ride very smooth. I've ordered size medium for a 10.5 US size shoe, they turned out to be too small, I'd recommend large binding for size 10.5 and up. Exchange process was easy and fast.
Awesome, versatile. No wonder they have so much following.
Katana size small highback is perfectly sized to fit women's size 7 Ride Cadence boot height. Footbed fits well. Excellent fit to YES Hel YES 146. Four stars because customer service never responded to my email so I had to put the cash up without any additional fit info. My dog was so enraged by the lack of email response that he started ripping up paper bags.
Ridden it for 3 days, great bindings, responsive and absorbs bumps really well, the straps also have no pressure points. But my nidecker boots got ripped on the inside wall and the boa string also got cut on my back foot. Had to switch them out for back up bindings before my boots completely got destroyed
I tried these bindings on a friend's board and immediately noticed their comfort and surfy ride. I then discovered the multitude of adjustability they offer, giving you the option of making them stiffer or softer, for example, which I think is great. Be warned, trying them once means buying them :)
