Top 3 Freeride Snowboard Bindings for Women 2022-2023

Last Updated: October 31, 2022 by Nate 2 Comments

Freeride snowboard bindings for women

Below is a list of what I consider to be the top 3 freeride snowboard bindings for women the 2022-23 season.

The bindings in this are best for anyone who likes to ride the backcountry or the groomers but want the extra response and performance of a stiffer, more responsive binding.

Not for the beginner or the casual rider but great for more advanced riders who like their riding hard charging.

Comparison Stats

Of the 8 bindings that I rated:

  • The average score was 85.7/100
  • The highest score was 93.2/100 (see below)
  • The lowest score was 76.3/100
  • The average price was $342

There’s not a lot to choose from in the women’s freeride category, which is why I have only made this a top 3, when ordinarily I would make a top 5.


WOMEN'S FREERIDE BINDING #2

Burton Lexa X binding review

Bindings: Burton Lexa X

  • US
  • CA
  • UK/EU

Price: View More Info and Current Prices Here

Price: View More Info and Current Prices Here (CA)

Rating score: 86.8/100

Flex: Medium-Stiff (7/10)

Starting off the list at #3, we have the Burton Lexa X.

Across the board, the Lexa X hits all the relevant factors - there is no weak point with these bindings.

They are the most responsive women’s bindings in Burton’s line up and are a binding for the more aggressive, hard charging rider and not for more casual playful riders – though one great thing is that, due to the way the bindings flex with the board, they are actually quite easy to butter with.

You can definitely still ride them freestyle - but more for advanced freestyle riders.

The Lexa X comes in both Re:Flex (to mount on 2 x 4  and 4 x 4 insert patterns in addition to the channel system) and EST (only mount to boards that use the channel system) versions.

The Lexa comes up at around 3:17

WOMEN'S FREERIDE BINDING #2

Rome Katana Women's Review

Bindings: Rome Katana

  • US

  • UK/EU

Price: View More Info and Current Prices Here

Price: View More Info and Current Prices Here (UK/EU)

Rating score: 91.1/100

Flex: Medium-Stiff (7 out of 10)

Next up, at #2, we have Rome's Katana bindings. These bindings are unisex, rather than women's specific, but they come in a small (suitable for US women's 6.5-9) and M/L (suitable for women's 8.5-12. So whilst it doesn't accommodate all sizes, it covers a good range. 

The Katana are the kind of bindings you can lay really deep into  a carve in and do a great job of managing both good board feel and shock absorption. 

And these are probably the most adjustable bindings going around, making them great for getting fully dialed in with your boots and board.

WOMEN'S FREERIDE BINDING #1

Flux GX bindings review

Bindings: Flux GX

  • US
  • CA

Price: View More Info and Current Prices Here

Rating score: 93.2/100

Flex: Medium-Stiff (7/10)

And in the #1 spot, we have the Flux GX.

A rarity in the world of women’s bindings the Flux GX is a stiff flexing binding that offers the ultimate in response and ankle support.

If you want to crank those bindings down and really charge hard and feel like those bindings are just an extension of your body – then the GX has you covered.

Not for the faint hearted or the beginner rider. If you’re an advanced level rider and you can handle these bindings, then you’ll be rewarded with oodles of performance.

    This review hasn’t changed for years lol. It’s been copied and pasted over the years. I’m really considering the flux Gx. Would love an updated review for freeride bindings since it’s soooo hard to find good freeride bindings for women.

      Hi Jena

      We’ve never had the Rome Katana in this review and in previous years we’ve had the Union Trilogy in there. The GX and Lexa X have been in there consistently (the Lexa X since 2021, which is when it was released – so for 3 years) because nothing has come along to unseat them. There hasn’t been a lot of change over the years, because we haven’t come across anything that’s been good enough to unseat the lieks of the Flux GX as a women’s freeride bindings. As you say, women’s freeride bindings are pretty few and far between, which is why we limit this to only a top 3. This is far from a copy paste. We analyze and adjust the list every year to make sure we have what we think are the best bindings in there. If you’re not seeing the Rome Katana in there, can you let me know – because maybe there’s a caching issue and you’re seeing last years list?
