Great idea and work extremely well.. Running on Vapors right now and just bought some 08 Zeus bindings and a new Absolute 141...will not stray from CWB..GF has C-Dub bindings and board too and a buddy of mine rides 04 Zeus bindings...Comfortable and forgiving bindings that provide great response...

Some nay sayers would tell you that Hinge is just a gimmick to charge people extra. Those that use em will tell you that not only does it make getting into the boot easier, it also allows the heel piece to lock into your heel and eliminate heel lift. I've been riding the Hinge boots since they came out and they have only gotten better over the years.

Stephan, SilverMustang35,

Am i right in thinking that there are various CWB bindings that come with the Hinge Tech? Which are best?

Yes mostly all CWB are hinged and i LOVE my Answers,
Its more of what style you like and what are comfortable to u...
but CWB Answers FTW

I think the hinge is not a gimick to get more money out of the bindings. The most expensive current year CWB binding is still cheaper than the top of the line LF binding.

The hinge has the major reason CWB bindings have been selling so well the past few seasons. The entry level Torq and Seven binding make it super easy for beginners to get in and out of bindings.

The days of having a newbie flounder in the water trying to kickout of a binding are over. Very Happy

I would say the top of the lines are the Zeus and Answers...From there you have the factions and vapors I'd say...Zeus and answers are the same except the zeus has about another inch of tounge lining.
