For freestyle and freeride riding, there’s not a lot better out there for the value than these Rossignol Cobra Freeride snowboard bindings. Bindings are all about energy transfer, and the easier and faster you can get your movements from the boot to the board, the more precise and energetic your riding experience will be. These Cobra bindings have a good mix of precision, performance, and playfulness, as they’re neither the stiffest nor the softest-flexing bindings out there, as they are found somewhere in the middle. This will reach a wide variety of riders, and check a lot of boxes, as snowboarders tend to like doing a blend of things out there on the hill, whether it’s playing in the terrain park, finding untouched lines in the trees, or bombing down smooth groomers, there’s usually something for everyone out there. Instant power transmission is found in the 3D Asymmetric Highback, which takes that movement from your boots, and as snowboarding is an asymmetric sport, the bindings use that to their advantage to create more power and energy with less effort. The Nylon highbacks are very responsive and light, so you can expect a higher-end feel out of these bindings than the price tag may indicate. If you’re looking for an amazing blend of performance, playfulness, and value, you needn’t look much further than the Rossignol Cobra Snowboard bindings.
