Flux has trimmed its snowboard binding lineup slightly for 2027, but there is still quite a lot going on beneath that one-model reduction.
The collection drops from 16 models to 15, but the actual changes beneath that net change are more significant than that suggests, with three new bindings arriving and four 2026 models disappearing.
The new additions are the TH MF-08, NGR MF-10 and XF Plus.
The TH MF-08 and NGR MF-10 expand Flux’s Manufacturing Program - or “MF” Program - from two bindings to four. They are very different models, with the TH sitting at an extremely stiff 10/10 and the NGR at a much softer 4/10.
The XF Plus is less specialized. It uses the same general platform and 7/10 flex as the regular XF, but upgrades the ankle strap and footbed with the new Cloud Strap Plus, Vibram Megagrip and Heel Up.
Leaving the lineup are the TW, GS, TT and XW.
Those departures remove Flux’s only women-specific binding that remained in the ’26 lineup, along with several of the more accessible and freestyle-oriented options from the 2026 collection.
Returning bindings haven’t received major redesigns, but the XV, CV and two existing MF Program models get footbed updates. More on those changes below.

None of the new bindings acts as a direct replacement for one of the outgoing models.
The TW was Flux’s soft 3/10 beginner and freestyle binding. Although the 4/10 NGR MF-10 is similarly soft, it is a much more specialized and considerably more expensive model designed around an unusual front-foot/back-foot construction.
The GS was Flux’s women-specific all-mountain binding. Nothing directly replaces it, leaving Flux without a dedicated women’s binding for 2027. However, several returning unisex models are offered down to XS sizing.
The TT was a relatively straightforward 5/10 all-mountain model, while the XW was a medium-flexing freestyle binding. The XF Plus is the closest of the new models in terms of being a versatile resort binding, but its 7/10 flex makes it considerably more powerful than either.
That means the 2027 lineup becomes more specialized overall and more all-mountain and freeride leaning and less freestyle focused.
Flux loses several relatively accessible options but doubles the size of the MF Program and adds another premium version of one of its most established all-mountain bindings.
Flux Snowboard Bindings 2027 Full Lineup By Category
The categories I place Flux's 2027 lineup in below is according to how we at SnowboardingProfiles.com categorize and not how Flux themselves categorize them.
We have a neutral stance and are completely independent of any snowboard brand. So, our categories have nothing to do with marketing the boards. They are based purely on what we think the best use of the bindings is.
We have included a beginner category below as well, but note that all bindings in the beginner category will also be included in one of the other categories (the category that the bindings are most relevant to, according to our categorization).

Details of New Models
Flux dropped 3 new bindings for 2026/2027, including a new upgraded version of the XF, the XF Plus, and 2 new MF series bindings.
Flux XF Plus
Flex: 7/10
Park: 10/10
All-Mountain: 9/10
Powder: 6/10
Highback: Retro-Mod
Baseplate: Super Ultima
Ankle Strap: Cloud Strap Plus
Toe Strap: FTM Ver. 5.0
Footbed: Boost FootOn+ with Vibram Megagrip and Heel Up
Disc: Multi Disc
The XF Plus is an upgraded variation of the regular XF rather than a stiffer, dramatically more aggressive XF.
Both bindings receive the same published 7/10 flex and use the same Retro-Mod highback, Super Ultima baseplate, FTM Ver. 5.0 toe strap and Multi Disc.
The main differences are found in the ankle strap and footbed.

The regular XF uses Flux’s Waffle ankle strap. The XF Plus gets the new Cloud Strap Plus, which combines a cushioned Cloud-style main strap with a separate reinforcing structure and Friction Guards in the areas most likely to experience wear.
It is intended to create a supportive and responsive fit while distributing pressure more evenly across the boot.
Underfoot, the XF Plus retains the raised Boost FootOn+ platform but adds Vibram Megagrip and Heel Up.
The Vibram material provides additional traction on the footbed, while the Heel Up design raises the heel area. That should provide a little more leverage and contribute to the XF Plus’s more supportive, locked-in platform.
The XF Plus isn’t replacing the regular XF. Both remain in the 2027 lineup.
The regular model should remain the more straightforward and lower-priced option, while the Plus is aimed at riders who want a more supportive ankle strap and Flux’s most advanced XF footbed.
Given that the flex, highback, baseplate and disc remain the same, I wouldn’t expect the XF Plus to feel dramatically stiffer than the XF. The biggest on-snow differences are more likely to be in ankle support, pressure distribution, traction and the slightly different stance created by Heel Up.
After testing the XF Plus in the winter, I would say there isn’t any dramatic differences between them in reality. Keep an eye on the website for more details, once our XF Plus review drops. We anticipate its publication to be around mid-September. Though we are also going to try to do a pre-release for members of our Patreon, if time allows.
Flux TH MF-08
Flex: 10/10
Park: 7/10
All-Mountain: 10/10
Powder: 6/10
Highback: Carbon-reinforced W-Prop
Baseplate: Carbon-reinforced Super Transfer X
Ankle Strap: Waffle
Toe Strap: FTM Ver. 5.0
Footbed: Boost Canted FootOn TH with Vibram Megagrip and Heel Up
Disc: Carbon Disc
Hardware: Titanium mounting screws
The TH MF-08 is the stiffest new binding in Flux’s 2027 lineup and becomes the flagship of the expanded MF Program.
Its published 10/10 flex puts it alongside the XV at the very top of the range. However, the two bindings use different platforms and footbed designs.

The TH gets a carbon-reinforced W-Prop highback and a Super Transfer X baseplate, which is also reinforced with carbon. Four Corner Stabilizers are intended to improve power transfer around the heel and toe areas, while a Carbon Disc and titanium mounting screws keep the construction responsive and relatively lightweight.
Its footbed is called the Boost Canted FootOn TH. This combines Flux’s raised TH footbed design with Vibram Megagrip rubber and the new Heel Up feature. Heel Up creates an additional raised angle through the heel section.
The raised and canted platform should increase leverage over the board and help reduce the likelihood of boot drag.
The rest of the binding includes Flux’s familiar Waffle ankle strap, FTM Ver. 5.0 toe strap and Beer Buckle ratchets.
With its 10/10 flex and high-response carbon construction, the TH MF-08 is clearly aimed at powerful riders who want maximum support for carving and aggressive freeriding.
It won’t be an especially forgiving option and is likely to work best with similarly stiff boots and boards.
Flux NGR MF-10
Flex: 4/10
Park: 7/10
All-Mountain: 8/10
Powder: 10/10
Highback: Resistor
Baseplate: Alpha, Performance Blend
Ankle Strap: NGR Strap
Toe Strap: FTM Duo
Footbed: Flat Bed with Vibram Megagrip
Disc: Flexible Disc
The NGR MF-10 sits at the opposite end of the spectrum from the TH.
It has a published 4/10 flex, making it the softest listed adult binding, outside of the more entry level EM and PR bindings, in Flux’s 2027 lineup alongside the DS.
However, this isn’t simply a replacement for the outgoing TW or another conventional soft freestyle binding.
The NGR’s most distinctive feature is the different construction used beneath the front and back feet.

Flux shows the rear-foot binding with a softer-flexing setup and the front-foot binding with a firmer construction. The intention appears to be to create stronger support and power transfer through the leading foot while allowing the back foot to move more freely.
That should give it a particularly directional and surfy feel, with the softer rear-foot platform making it easier to steer, slash and manipulate the tail.
The 10/10 powder rating reinforces that Flux identify this as a predominantly powder oriented binding.
It uses Flux’s Alpha baseplate with a Performance Blend material, Resistor highback and Flexible Disc. The flat footbed keeps the rider closer to the board than the raised Boost FootOn designs found on several of Flux’s more aggressive bindings.
Vibram Megagrip is added beneath the footbed, while the new NGR ankle strap uses a dedicated NGR Strap Pad.
At 4/10, the NGR should be much more forgiving than Flux’s other MF models. However, the unusual front/back-foot construction and powder-focused design make it more specialized than its flex rating might initially suggest.
It looks best suited to riders who prefer a directional stance and want a soft, surfy binding for powder, trees and creative freeriding.
Changes to Returning Models
The following bindings received changes vs their '26 model.
+ XV: Receives Vibram Megagrip for its footbed.
+ CV: Gets the new "Heel Up" for its footbed. The CV already used Flux’s higher Super Transfer heelcup and a footbed raised approximately 4 mm above the standard FootOn. The new Heel Up design adds another raised angle through the heel area.
+ CV MF-11: The CV MF-05 is renamed the CV MF-11 for 2027. Along with the name change, its footbed gains Vibram Megagrip and Heel Up. Everything else seems to remain the same. This looks like a relatively meaningful footbed update but not a complete redesign. The CV MF-11 should continue to provide a lighter, stiffer and more responsive alternative to the regular CV.
+ SR MF-09: The SR MF-06 becomes the SR MF-09. Its footbed gains Vibram Megagrip, while the rest of its main construction appears unchanged. As with the CV MF-11, this appears to be an updated and renamed version of an existing MF model (and less of an upgrade than the CV MF-11 gets) rather than an entirely new binding.
Other Returning Bindings
The following bindings appear to return without meaningful construction changes beyond graphics and colorways:
- XF
- SR
- CX
- DS
- DS Step On
- EM
- PR
- FL
Summary of Flux 2027 Snowboards Lineup Changes
Flux’s lineup is slightly smaller for 2027, but the overall shift is toward more specialized and premium models and shifting to a more all-mountain and freeride focus and reducing their freestyle focused offerings.
The collection drops from 16 models to 15, with three new additions and four departures.
The biggest expansion comes within the MF Program. Flux offered two MF bindings in 2026: the CV MF-05 and SR MF-06. For 2027, those become the CV MF-11 and SR MF-09, while the TH MF-08 and NGR MF-10 increase the MF collection to four.
The Newcomers
The two new MF bindings couldn’t be much more different.
The TH MF-08 is a carbon-reinforced 10/10 binding designed for powerful carving and aggressive freeriding. The NGR MF-10 uses a 4/10 flex, flat footbed and different front/back-foot construction to create a softer, more directional and surfy ride.
The XF Plus is the more conventional new addition. It keeps the regular XF’s 7/10 flex and main platform but adds the Cloud Strap Plus and a Boost FootOn+ footbed with Vibram Megagrip and Heel Up.
The Departed
The departures are fairly significant too, particularly at the more accessible end of the lineup.
With the TW, GS, TT and XW leaving, Flux loses a soft beginner/freestyle model, its only women-specific binding and two relatively versatile mid-flex options.
The Returners
The EM and PR still provide beginner-friendly choices, while the wide size ranges offered by several unisex bindings should accommodate many riders who would previously have considered the GS (and in years prior to ’26 other women’s specific offerings). However, there is no direct replacement for the GS or XW.
Among returning models, the changes are concentrated around the footbeds.
Vibram Megagrip spreads to the XV, CV MF-11 and SR MF-09, while “Heel Up” is added to the CV and CV MF-11. Most other returning bindings appear unchanged outside of their available colorways.
