The 2019 Flux snowboard bindings will be gracing the shelves soon – and already are in some places.

There are a couple of new bindings making the line for the 2018-19 season and have been some tweaks and development in a couple of areas. The main ones being:

1. Tweaked toe strap (FTM Ver.5.0) for the transfer base series (XV, XF, TM & SR)
2. New highback for the DS (Resistor Highback)
3. Some tweaks to their honeycomb strap (ver.2.0), featured on the DSL, TT & GU.

Flux Bindings New for 2019

• Flux DSL – This is a softer flexing version of the DS. It features the Ultima Wing highback that the 2018 DS had, the Alpha base and Comfort footbed that was on the RII (which doesn’t have a 2019 model) and the new tweaked Honeycomb ver.2.0 strap. So it’s not that much like the 2019 DS, but kind of like a hybrid of the 2018 DS and the 2018 RII. It’s softer than the RII was though, which I like the idea of. I liked the RII but it was almost a little bit in no man’s land between freestyle and all-mountain. I feel like the DSL is more firmly freestyle.

Drop Outs for 2019

• Flux RII – this has kind of merged into the new DSL

O.K. let’s take a look at the 2019 line categorized where I see them fitting.

Beginner Flux Bindings

Men’s

• Flux DSL | NEW for 2019

Women’s

• Flux GU

Freestyle Flux Bindings

Men’s

• Flux DSL | NEW for 2019
• Flux DSW – this is more medium-stiff in terms of flex, which I wouldn’t usually put in freestyle but its designed for jibs so I felt this was the best category for it

Women’s

• Flux GU

All-Mountain-Freestyle Flux Bindings

Men’s

• Flux DS – See Full Review | Top 5 All-Mountain Binding
• Flux PR

Women’s

• Flux GS

All-Mountain-Freeride Flux Bindings

Men’s

• Flux XF – See Full Review | Top 5 All-Mountain-Freeride Binding
• Flux TT
• Flux SR – This is a soft flexing binding but using their transfer base. This is touted for those that want a surfier feel to their ride. I feel like all-mountain-freeride is the best place to put this, but note that it’s soft flexing. Usually I only put bindings that are medium-stiff in this category.

Women’s

• Flux GX

Freeride Flux Bindings

• Flux XV – See Full Review | Top 5 Freeride Binding

Thanks for Reading

There is one new pair of bindings, one drop out and some tweaks to others. So, some development but mostly business as usual – but Flux’s usual business is pretty good in my experience so no complaints there.

I had the privilege of testing some Flux bindings in the spring and my reviews for those are either already published or will be published soon. For all of Snowboarding Profiles’ Flux bindings reviews, check out the link below.
