The toe caps that Flux have had the past couple of seasons are much nicer than their older ones, and don’t move around at all. The XF’s fit nicely on my Tm-Twos, the ankle strap wrapped around tightly, and didn’t give me any weird pressure points, just put a nice amount of pressure evenly over the boots. I rode the Flux XF with my ThirtyTwo Tm-Twos on the Never Summer Twenty Five, which was a good match for these bindings, as it is a pretty solid freeride board. You can easily adjust the toe and heel cushions so that you get the most support under your boot. ![]() These are just the names for the piece of plastic that runs over the ladder once it has gone through the buckles, which stops them from sticking out.Ī feature that is on almost all Flux bindings (except for their budget bindings), which means you can adjust the straps and the highback without needing a screwdriver. They are 30% smaller, and are easy to tighten the bindings right up, without making them hard to get off. The ankle straps are made of a strong and but flexible material, that wraps around boots nicely and doesn’t make and pressure points. The outside of the heelcup is higher than the inside, which allows you to push a little more naturally with your feet, which should make for easier ollies and turns. This is a solid area that sits under the ball of your foot, to make sure that there is a solid area under the spot where you can put the most pressure on the board. The toe edge transfer system means that the adjustable toe section isn’t floating, and gives you direct contact to the board. The transfer baseplate has a larger surface area, and the idea is that more contact with the board will give you better “power transfer”. The top part of the highback has a split in it which gives the top half a bit more lateral flex, which is going to help when you are spinning off jumps so that it is not overly restricting your boots. It has a regular forward lean adjustment (which used to be only on the SF model) so you can easily adjust the forward lean if you are riding hardpacked snow or icy halfpipes. The Axis highback has a pretty thick spine that runs through the middle of the highback, to get strong response for heelside turns. ![]() It is made of a Nylon material, that gives it a medium stiffness. Based on some of the ideas of the SF, they are made to get a good balance of response, but still having enough flex to be able to tweak without being restricted. The Flux XF are some pretty aggressive and responsive, light bindings.
