Forum Republic Binding

The Forum Republic is the most aggressive binding in Fourums line and makes for a binding that will work with more than just a freestyle board.   For 2011 the Republic has a completely overhauled baseplate for  the new cool tech that allows a much better flex under foot similar to Burton’s Re:Flex Technology.  For 2012 Forum added a canting system to the binding which is a softer foam to make it easier to lean into the board.  It makes riding easier on your ankles, knees and hips while also making it easier to ride.  We like this tech and feel this is a solid follow up upgrade after so many upgrades in 2011. The 2013 Forum Republicis pretty much the same as the 2012 which isn’t a bad thing. Forum makes freestyle gear but this hits a wider scope of riders and isn’t bad if you are looking for a mid flexing all mountian binding.  The price is right also.  So if you like the Tech that Burton and Forum offer in their high end bindings but dont want to pay the high price then the Republic will be a good call.
