At first glance, snowboard bindings can seem pretty straightforward: you step in, clamp it down, and ride. But there’s a lot more going on with the Rossignol Battle than you might expect, especially at this price point. These bindings provide excellent value, largely due to technology borrowed from higher-performance models within the Rossignol line. It’s always great when higher-end features trickle down, and Rossignol does this better than most. The heel-side turn is smoother and more powerful thanks to the MainFrame High back, which has a rigid center frame that provides strong heel-side power. The moment you apply pressure to the back of your boot, the binding responds, delivering power and precision for a thrilling heel-side carve. The buckles are also high-quality, with aluminum cast ratchets that let you fine-tune your fit for maximum performance. While they may seem simple at first glance, the Rossignol Battle snowboard bindings pack in a ton of fun, all at a fantastic value.
