Description (1)
With a soft flex with an asymmetric shape, the Muon-X is a perfect binding for beginner to intermediate riders looking to improve. The base and the nylon spoiler filled with fibreglass have been designed for a perfect fit with all Nidecker boots. We have retained a lot of responsiveness from the heel to the toes, using off-axis Powerbeams to distribute energy more effectively on the edges.

However, we kept the binding less rigid laterally so that it is more forgiving if your technique is not perfect. The additional flex is also ideal when you are ready to try new tricks. A robust ComfortFit ankle strap offers lots of padding and can be easily adjusted without any tools.
Description (3)
We combined it with the same AuxTech® toe strap that our top-of-the-range models have, which is cleverly adjustable around your boots for exceptional support. The two straps are equipped with light, Proton nylon buckles that are easy to use and reliable. It is a comfortable, versatile and very durable binding that you won't give up in a hurry.
Stance, binding spacings
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 piste / off-piste boards:
If you want to tighten the feet then it’s best to move the binding forwards only.
On the other hand, If you want to move the feet apart then it’s best to move the binding backwards. The aim is to be a little further back to take the bends better on piste and to float on the 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 run, we recommend +18° at the front and 0° at the rear. For a versatile freestyle run, try +18° et -6°. The rear foot opening lets you change when riding switch. For pure freestyle runs, choose completely symmetrical angles such as +15° et -15° for example.
Angle choice on bindings is a very personal thing. Feel free to check out what others are doing and try out different options. You might be pleasantly surprised!
