![]() ![]() ![]() This video is for the 2017 model, but most of it is still relevant. Like most Flux bindings the TMs are smooth and easy to get in and out of. And this is potentially one of the reasons for the good board feel. But if shock absorption isn’t a big deal for you, then this isn’t a deal-breaker. They’re not the most shock absorbing – and that’s typical of Flux – and that’s one of the downsides of having that heel ramp adjustment there. You can adjust heel ramp and toe ramp (most brands only have a toe ramp adjustment) and pretty much every other adjustment you need – only downside is no ability to adjust the high back lean – not that I could see anyway. AdjustabilityĪnother strong point (there are a lot of them) for the TMs is their adjustability. Board Feel/Butterabilityĭespite being relatively stiff, and not having anything like a mini-disc or anything like that, they actual have really decent board feel – something that Flux tend to be able to manage across a lot of their line. Responsiveness is definitely the strength of these bindings. The TMs felt super responsive and really increased the response of the board I was riding, compared to the bindings I would usually ride on them. Though Flux rate them a 5/5 (which in my head would convert to a 10/10), I got more of a 8/10 feeling from them. Quite cold in the morning but got quite warm in the afternoon (it was spring after all, but you’d never have known it with the amount of snow around and the cold morning!) Snow conditions were a great mix of hard spots and soft-pack on the groomers and plenty of powder to be found off groomer, making it the perfect conditions for demoing – a bit of everything. Demo InfoĬonditions: Sunshine! And plenty of it. let’s take a more detailed look at what the TMs are capable of. large jumps) freestyle stuff, then the TMs could work for that too – but generally they’re stiffer than I would normally ride for freestyle – but definitely for backcountry, off-groomer and for bombing the groomers. If you like to bomb at speed but still want to feel the natural flex of your board underfoot, then the TMs are a great option.ĭefinitely not for the beginner – too stiff for that. They are quite stiff and really responsive – and like Flux tend to have a knack for, they still have decent board feel as well. The TMs are great for anyone who likes to bomb the mountain at speed. Out of the 11 freeride bindings that I rated:Ĭheck out the table below for the available sizes for the TMs. Rating Score: 89.2/100 Compared to other Freeride Bindings They must have their reasons for dropping it (most likely not selling how they would have liked) but a shame to see it dropped, IMO. Shame to see it go as it was a good performing binding at a good price for this flex range. NOTE: The 2019 model was the last model of the Flux TM, so this review will no longer be updated. In this review I will take a look at the TMs as freeride snowboard bindings.Īs per tradition here at I will give the TMs a score out of 100 (based on several factors) and see how they compare with other freeride bindings. ![]()
