K2 Bike V6 Plasma Conventional

K2 Bike V6 Plasma Conventional 

DESCRIPTION

The V6’s base is able to provide a unique boost in comfort thanks to it's strength and stiffness yet forgiving flex, a situation made possible by the use of a high-performance 3D Plasma baseplate. Other points of interest on the V6 include adjustable heel cups, stealthy toe and ankle ratchets for easy in-and-out and a tool-less thumbscrew forward-lean adjuster that can be cranked up when railing those first heelside turns or backed off for park-bound freestylers desiring a more flexible, traditional feel.

These bindings may be good for someone who doesn't ride aggressively. A couple years later, the "front" binding comes loose after a few turns.

These may be good for a beginner who is light and doesn't go very often . . . definitely not for the every day rider.

Got rooked on the mountain, and had to pick the cheapest pair . . . I will never do that again.

Strength:

Cheap. Lightweight. Simple design.

Weakness:

Weak plastic. Rachets had a hard time grasping (strap would slip when tightning). Pressure points. Highback caused major pressure point, rubbing.

I recieved a great end-of-season price on these bindings, and couldn't pass it up. Mounted them up and used them a few times at my local hills with very little problems. About 8 runs into a day at Timberline, Mt. Hood, OR, the toe strap broke on my front foot. It wasn't the strap itself, but the plastic on the base holding the strap in. The bindings were able to be used for the remainder of the day, but were soon replaced. For low-impact riding, I believe these are worth their sale price. For anything more physical, I'd look at something else.

Strength:

Comfert, strength.

Weakness:

This bindings dont have many bar the plasma sign coming loose on the side. But a piece of tape does the job. But this will only happern is used MADlEY. But over all the problems are minor and wont affect the ride atall.

For the price of this product the quality is brilliant. It is a brilliant binding for the advanced beginner- intermedate. This Binding is really comfertable, strong and sturdy.

Strength:

cheap, good for beginers, but only on easy groomers, if you plan on doing anything that is half hard, go up a couple to the V10's or something, they rock.

Weakness:

cheap, crap plastic, and make sure that the screws they give you fit the board and bindings before you hand over your hard earned, the straps have too many pressure points and this "radical new base plate design" is rubbish

Had some major problems with this product, might have just been me but these bindings almost did me in, riding through some pretty bumpy stuff, got a bit of air, came down with too much weight on the front foot and the front base plate smashed into a dozen pieces, if i had been going any faster or landed any other way i could have done myself some major damage. The toe strap on the other foot also broke, the plastic just wore through, this is after 4-6 days, that shouldn't happen

Strength:

Very affordable and great value for the money, comfortable

Weakness:

parts tend to loosen and fall off easily, not very reliable after long periods of use (ie after a days use) ...straps stop fastening in place etc.

Very good bindings for the price, with only minor problems. Good for beginers and intermediate, but experts should look elsewhere for more reliablility. Comfortable
