KATANA BLACK

Great bindings. The Duracush footbeds feel like slippers. The customization far exceeds the competition. Locked in feel but still surfy. The Katana and its cousin the Cleaver are the only bindings I own and need.

I have a pair from 2018 that I have put through the ringer (I ride 80 days a season) They are still in perfect condition. Beyond the durability factor, these bindings are comfortable and customizable. You can tweak them to dial in your experience on the board and accommodate your feet. I have skinny heels and even with perfectly fitting boots I still tend to have slight heel lift. The katanas help alleviate that by keeping my feet in contact with the board, enabling me to stay in control. The straps when ratcheted almost become a part of your boot - absolutely seemless and your board, boots and bindings become one. This translates to an unreal experience on the snow. All you have to do is think about turning and you turn thanks to these bindings. I wear them quite snug, and have never had an issue of wear and tear on the straps...they still look and perform as if brand new. I have a different pair of bindings on my other board, and they tend to cause my feet to be painful and fatigued. This does not happen when riding my katanas... I have spent all day on the mountain and they are comfortable even at the end of a long day. I ride all moutain so a mix of groomers, glades, park, pow... The katanas do well whatever I'm riding. They give a surfy feel but without sacrificing precision or performance-whether throwing down carves or jibbing the park.
I really could not recommend these bindings more... They are a game changer in so many ways. They are well worth the cost so do yourself a favor and buy them! Thanks Rome!!

Fantastic all-mountain bindings. Easily adjustable and fit my boot so snugly. Very pleased with my purchase!

I have struggled for 10+ years with VERY unhappy feet on the MT. I cycled through several pairs of boots and though things improved once dual zone boas came out, I still found myself in excruciating pain almost everytime I hit the slopes. I'd developed a system of just the right socks, driving to the MT in my boots, loosening my binding whenever I was on the lift, and nursing/managing the pain constantly... it was a huge hassle. If it weren't for the fact that snowboarding is a main family activity for me to do with my husband and kids I would have quite a long time ago.

I initially contacted Rome about boot reccomendatiins as I was sure that was my issue. A very helpful person suggested I try finding some canted footbeds, OR try another (nonRome) brand of boot. That impressed me.

So I began looking for canted footbeds for my Burton bindings... with no luck and zero help from that service department. So I then started shopping around for bindings that cant and came back to Rome and their Katana bindings.

I was hesitant to spend the money on a gamble, but the more reviews I read/watched and the more research I did, it seemed to make sense that these bindings would help my feet.

They ended up not fitting my 3D board, so I borrowed my sons old DWD maet board until I can get around to modifying some baseplate to work on the 3D setup

These are by far the most responsive bindings I have ever ridden in. And I think that is the biggest factor for my newly happy feet. My old bindings had so much lag time compared to these and my feet were working WAY to hard fighting for control of the board. Now, I just have to think and the board responds. I have never felt so connected to the board. The design of the straps makes it possible to dial in super tight, but still avoid having pinch points. Not to mention how adjustable every part of the binding is!

Now I'm curios to see how my old board feels once I am able get these bindings on it and I can experience a better connection with it.

I very rarely write reviews, but felt these bindings just had to be praised. As well as the stellar customer service I received along the way! I mean, they reccomended another brands boots - talk about putting the customers needs first!

Hands down the best binding I've ever ridden. Super comfortable, durable, and very user friendly (adjusting the strap length and rotating the high back are a breeze). Although choosing the right snowboard can be tricky, choosing the right bindings is simple. The Katanas are the way to go.
