Baseplate / Material
Soft ankle harness = Feels Good. Tensor system = Responsive SmartSole = Feels Good

1) Soft ankle harness.(comfort) Better boot wrap, 3D strap around you whole foot equals better fit and better comfort - allows med/lateral flex, natural foot movement. 2) Smart Sole (suspension) - absense of hard plastic under your heel, full eva plus a polymer structure between you and the board for maximum shock absorption and more direct board feel. 3) Tensor system (response) - transmits highback pressure directly to the front of the binding, lifting the toe edge and getting greater leverage to the board's heel edge. With the absence of a hard heelcup, heel chatter does not turn into highback bite.
