Strengths: The cinch system means ure strapped in before everyone else
Weaknesses: Where do i start?
1. the plastic which the cinch system relies on at the bottom of the highback is weak, it broke after about 2 weeks but its easy to repair.
2. The baseplate disks are rubbish, i ended up havin to tighten the screws at least twice a day when i went to the alps for a week in january, bearing in mind i only got these bindings in october. Youd think that for such an expensive binding they would throw in metal baseplates rather then plastic ones which twist around whenever you fall.
3. the straps (on the occasions that you have to undo them) become very stiff and almost impossible to undo until you let the ice melt off them.
4. Overall they just dont seem worth the money i paid. I thought id treat myself to the most expensive bindings that were in the shop when i went to pick up my board and unfortuantely they are made with crappy plastic and are just rubbish overall.

Strengths: UPDATE to my last comment....the last sentence should be:......Yes the costs are on the pricier side, but if you think about how long they`ll last, it SHOULDN`T be an issue.
Weaknesses:

Strengths: Style: freeride, occasional kicker etc. I was riding Burton P1 HD (2003) before and was very pleased with the performance and comfort. Was looking at new bindings and bougth myself the K2 Cinch CTX 07/08 which are really as comfortable and responsive as my old ones. Bonuses are that the toestrap can be adjusted on the fly (toolless) and once the straps are set you`ll never have to change them again. The best thing is really the fast exit and entry into the bindings. Thinking back to the normal strap bindings these are really a breeze without loosing the hold of normal strap bindings. Brilliant! Yes the costs are on the pricier side, but if you think about how long they`ll last, it be an issue.
Weaknesses: Perhaps a weekness for some, strength for others, the highback is somewhat flexible sideways, which I wasn`t used to with my Burtons, but that`s a matter of personal taste. I`m more comfortable with the K2`s. The Burtons, although good control through the stiffness of the highback, were rather unforgiving after a really long day of snowboarding. The K2 Cinch CTX is more of lounge chair in comparison.
