Ride Circuit Snowboard Bindings 2027

The Ride Circuit is built around a simple philosophy:

Make a binding that rides hard, lasts a long time, and feels better doing both.

At the heart of the Circuit is Ride's aluminum A-Series chassis. It's lightweight, incredibly durable, and maintains its flex regardless of temperature, whether you're buckling in on a mild spring afternoon or a single-digit January morning. If you're the type of rider who's rough on equipment or simply prefers buying things once, an aluminum chassis is hard to beat.

This season's biggest update comes from the completely redesigned highback.

Instead of making the entire highback equally stiff, Ride created three distinct flex zones. The lower section remains supportive to deliver the response aggressive riders expect, while the softer urethane upper allows the binding to move naturally with your leg. The result is a binding that feels more comfortable, offers better lateral mobility, and reduces pressure at the top of the calf without giving up the precision that stronger riders appreciate.

The rest of the binding follows the same approach.

The new ankle strap distributes pressure evenly across your boot while maintaining a secure connection, and the minimalist toe strap comfortably fits virtually any modern snowboard boot without unnecessary bulk.

The support is still there when you're driving powerful turns or carrying speed through rough snow, but the binding no longer feels like it has to fight your movements to accomplish it. There's noticeably more comfort compared to is predecessor the A-8 without losing the personality that aluminum Ride bindings have been known for.

If your ideal day involves carving hard, finding natural features, and riding the entire mountain with confidence, the Circuit is one of the best new aluminum bindings we've ridden. It's responsive when you ask it to be, comfortable enough for long days, and built to handle years of abuse without asking for much in return.
