Nidecker Supermatic: The World of Bindings is Upside Down

Here is the first self-locking two-strap binding that works with all snowboard boots. No more troublesome entry, no more sitting in the snow or having to buy special boots. Step-in and go!

Why is Supermatic a Big Deal?

The Nidecker Supermatic is what snowboarding has been waiting for: the first universal, dual-entry, automatic binding. Many brands have tried and failed to crack the step-in code. Most of these systems required specific boots; many didn’t work well in powder; and none of them were as comfortable and reliable as a regular two-strap binding. They've spent four years developing their own solution that addresses all these issues, and it’s a genuine game changer.

 

 

How Does It Work?

Supermatic binding works on the principle of activated hiback called Drop In tech. Just push your foot in through the back and step down on the heel pedal to automatically engage the binding. That's it - you're ready to ride. A simple release lever allows you to exit the binding just as quickly.

The straps are the same comfy AuxTech design found on Nidecker's traditional high-end bindings. Adjust them once, then lock them in place using the Locking Slap Ratchets to enjoy a perfect fit every time. The beauty of this system is that it works with any boot from any manufacturer, and there’s no fiddly mechanism to get clogged. If the slope or snow conditions demand it, you can even strap in just like a regular binding.

 

Proven Nidecker Technology

Supermatic system is built from tried-and-trusted materials found throughout Nidecker's line. The baseplate is constructed from bulletproof glass-filled-nylon, with a Slip-N-Grip plate that helps your toe glide in over the pad to make entry even easier. Likewise, they've added a roller to the heelcup for buttery smooth operation of the hiback trigger. Finally, the nylon Asym Hadron hiback is designed for a perfect fit, with a responsive flex and an integrated forward lean adjuster for full customization.

Overall it’s a mid-stiff binding which the Nidecker team have rated as Nidecker's most comfortable to date. They’ve tested it everywhere – on groomers, steep-n-deep freeride lines and in the park – with input from riders of every kind. Bottom line: it’s a speed-entry system you can trust. Whether you’re sick of getting your pants wet doing up your straps, or you wanna smoke your skier friends off the lift...the future just arrived.
