Nidecker Supermatic Carbon

The Supermatic Carbon from Nidecker is a step-in snowboard binding made for all-mountain adventures. This unisex model gives riders a secure connection to their board while letting you click in and out quickly, so you can focus on carving lines rather than fiddling with straps.

Constructed with a nylon highback and a nylon-filled baseplate, the Supermatic Carbon balances strength and shock absorption to tame vibrations on varied terrain. Its step-in design speeds up your routine at the trailhead, and a flex rating of 8 delivers a responsive feel underfoot—enough stiffness for solid edge control without feeling overly rigid as you explore groomers, trees or powder.

On a typical flex scale of 1 to 10, an 8 means the binding leans toward the stiffer side, helping translate your movements directly into board response—useful when you’re tackling steeper slopes or riding at higher speed. The highback refers to the vertical panel behind your calf that guides heel-edge turns, while the baseplate is the platform under your boot; reinforcing it with nylon fill adds durability and cushions bumps for a smoother ride.
