Programme/terrain
The Serenity 500 snowboard binding is mainly designed for on and off piste use. For efficient control of the board, the ankle strap is 3D with a good layer of foam to adapt to boots comfortably. The strap stiffens the boots efficiently.
Opening mechanism
Turn Strap System: the strap is mounted onto a hinge, which allows it to turn inwards when you lift your foot. When putting the boot on, the space is therefore free to insert the boot into the binding without any discomfort. This also prevents the strap and the hooks getting crushed with the boot.
Adjustment options
These snowboard bindings have a system for very precisely adjusting the centring of your feet on the board thanks to
_ the 5 available positions for the screws on the disc,
_ the forwards/backwards adjustment of the highback: +7mm of additional adjustment,
The aim is that the boot overhangs the board by an equal distance at the toe and at the heel.
But also
_ the angle of the highback (canting),
_ the length of the gas pedal, particularly useful for big feet,
_ the length of the straps.
What is the stance on the snowboard?
The stance is the distance between the 2 bindings in cm. It can be adapted according to your body shape but be aware that all snowboards have a recommended stance for bindings (shown by a mark between the binding inserts). If you want to position your feet further apart or closer together on the board, do the test to see if you are best placed.
How do I change my stance on the board?
For on/off-piste boards, if you want to position your feet closer together, then it is best to move only the front binding further back, and if you want to move your feet further apart, it is best to move only the rear binding further back. The aim is to be set a little further back to take the turns better on piste and to float on powder snow.
For freestyle boards (symmetrical), it is best to move the 2 bindings to remain centred on the board.
At what angle should I put my snowboard bindings?
For a freeride programme, we recommend +18° at the front and 0° at the rear.
For a on/off-piste use on all types of snow, we recommend +18° and -6°. The open position of the rear foot helps you keep your shoulders in line with the board.
In pure freestyle use, don't hesitate to choose completely symmetrical angles, e.g. +15° and -15°.
The choice of binding angles is very personal, so don't hesitate to try different options to get the best for you.
What size should I choose for my snowboard bindings?
M = sizes 4 to 7 (UK)
L = sizes 8 to 13 (UK).
But just as you would always try on a shoe with your own foot, we strongly recommend trying on the bindings with your snowboard boots because, depending on the brand, a particular size of boot can vary in volume.
Don't forget to centre your boot on your board!
Disc bindings with 4 screws can slide along a single axis and generally have 5 possible settings. This setting is used to centre the boot on the snowboard and prevent the foot from protruding over the edge of the board too much, otherwise you will fall! Your boot must protrude by an equal amount on both sides of the board. You can also rotate the disc 90° to increase or decrease the stance in relation to that provided by the inserts. In this case, the bindings can’t be centred laterally.
