The C-8 is an entirely new direction for Ride. They set out to design the smoothest riding binding in the world and the C-8 did not disappoint. Ride took what tehy learned with the LTD model and perfected it. If you demand a high-performance binding and want to eliminate high-speed vibrations you feel with other bindings, this is the binding for you.
RIDER TYPE: Advanced / Expert
FLEX: Stiff
C-SERIES PERFORMANCE CHASSIS:
The C-Series Performance Chassis is the same Chassis as the standard C-Series chassis, but with 20% short-glass injected into a nylon tray. Injected short-glass makes the chassis more responsive while the nylon composite provides a smooth ride.
CANTED WITH PODS FOOTBED
An ultra-light footbed that uses subtle angles to align the ankles and knees to a more natural and comfortable position. The angle also gives leverage to press the board for huge pop, without affecting your preferred stance width. Urethane pods are bonded to the footbed under the heels and forefront of the riders foot. These pods absorb high speed vibrations for a smoother ride as well as smooth out larger impacts from flat landings.
C-SERIES EVA BASEPAD
An extra cush EVA Basepad that wraps under the binding and up the sides to damp out vibrations and make for a smooth ride.
MINIMALIST WITH OVERMOLD TOE STRAP
The minimalist toe strap with overmold is the same base strap as the minimalist toe strap with the addition of an overmolded layer of urethane that assures the strap stays in place over the riders desired position over the boot.
PLASTIC DISC
The plastic disc offers more lateral flex than aluminum for the rider that is focused on comfort and flex over hard charging performance
CARBON SLIMEBACK™ HIGHBACK
Made from laminated carbon and urethane, this unique highback offers the lightweight support and pop of carbon with the smooth dampened ride of urethane.
LINKAGE RATCHET
Designed to improve ladder durability and eliminate ratchet wag, resulting in a smoother user experience with the same hold you expect.
