Responsive and forgiving for freestyle and freeride riding, the Rossignol Cobra snowboard binding has a whole lot to offer. With an upper-end feel and performance, the Rossignol Cobra grabs on tight to your boot and allows you to really expend all of your energy into the snow. Starting with the high back wrap that is both asymmetric as well as wrapped, the Cobra not only contacts more of your boot, but it also helps direct your foot and ankle to the proper direction. While some of the lower-end bindings do not do this, the Cobra is ideal for riders who need a bit more precision and direction in their bindings. Built like more of an extension of your boot rather than a separate piece of equipment, the binding on the snowboard has a lot to do with the performance. The boot pad is another area that feature some built-in performance with the canted angle that helps with keeping the boots angled in to create more leverage over the inside edges of the boot. For shock absorption, the foot beds feature full-length cushioning as well as that canted angle for a smooth ride and a damp feeling when railing turns. It’s amazing how much performance you can get out of a pair of bindings, and the Rossignol Cobra snowboard bindings represent a step in the right direction to be sure. Thanks to the combination of a strong wrap as well as the built-in angles and cushioning, the Rossignol Cobra Snowboard bindings love to be put to the test.
