The AL-6 is designed for all-mountain versatility. This binding is at home anywhere on the mountain from the park to the peak. The AL-6 is designed for riders looking for the precise feel of aluminum at great price. The A-Series Aluminum Chassis provides the reactive flex and power transfer of aluminum with less rigidity than previous designs. The Reversible Ankle Strap provides high-end performance, durability, and all-day comfort without any extra weight. Urethane in the Slimeback™ Highback provides a smooth ride and allows for maximum lateral mobility. The canted footbed aligns your joints with a 2.5 degree angle while providing more leverage over the tip and tail of your board. The AL-6 is designed for customers seeking the responsive feel of aluminum in a binding they can take anywhere.

Canted Footbeds with Urethane Pods - An ultra-light footbed that uses subtle angles to align the ankles and knees to a more natural and comfortable position. The angle also gives leverage to press the board for huge pop, without affecting your preferred stance width. Urethane pods are bonded to the footbed under the heels and forefront of the riders foot. These pods absorb high speed vibrations for a smoother ride as well as smooth out larger impacts from flat landings.
