THE SOLUTION When approached with a thermoplastic composite technology that offered the freedom to add torsional flex without compromising on strength and power, the product innovators at Rome were seriously stoked. Torsional flex placed specifically where it’s needed in a strong, ultra-lightweight, customized binding. This material’s superior stiffness and flexural strength enables Rome to give snowboarders its signature “flex with pop” performance in the lightest, most responsive binding the company has ever produced.
