{"product_id":"bent-metal-lightning-supermatic-2526","title":"2026 Bent Metal Lightning Supermatic","description":"\u003cp\u003eAutomatic entry is the headline, but this binding is built to be ridden hard, not babied. The Lightning Supermatic is an all mountain binding designed for riders who want fast, repeatable entry without stepping away from the support and control of a traditional setup. A medium stiff flex and stable platform make it well suited to intermediate and advanced riders running responsive boards and riding with intent, whether that means stacking laps, chasing terrain, or simply keeping things moving from top to bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lightning Supermatic is built around Bent Metal’s Supermatic automatic system, allowing rear entry while retaining a traditional two strap interface for riding. A solid asymmetric highback provides lateral support for edge control, paired with a canted footbed and integrated heel shock pad to manage impact and reduce fatigue over variable terrain. An oversized UHMW slip plate creates a low friction surface for entry and exit, while the Auto Chassis and offset multi disk support a wide range of boot shapes and stance adjustments. Forward lean is adjusted via the Revolutionary Cube, offering tool free changes in fixed increments with urethane dampening built into the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeed help choosing the right binding?\u003c\/strong\u003e Check out our \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Ballistyx Boardstore Snowboard Bindings Guide\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ballistyx.com.au\/pages\/the-ultimate-guide-to-snowboard-bindings-find-your-perfect-fit\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esnowboard binding guide\u003c\/a\u003e for a clear breakdown of fit, flex and riding style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRider Ability:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eIntermediate to advanced\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRiding Style \/ Application:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eAll-mountain\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlex:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eMedium stiff (8\/10)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntry System:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eAutomatic entry with dual-entry capability (Supermatic)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTech Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupermatic Automatic System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rear-entry automatic highback and strap closure, with a release lever for fast exit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Entry Function:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rides like a traditional two-strap binding and can be used conventionally when conditions require it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto Chassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purpose-built chassis to support Supermatic entry and exit while maintaining a stable riding platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOff-Set Multi-Disk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with \u003cem\u003e4x4, 4x2, and M6 Channel\u003c\/em\u003e mounting patterns, with offset holes for additional stance and toe-heel adjustability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlip Plate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra-large \u003cem\u003eUHMW\u003c\/em\u003e slip plate creates a low-friction surface for smooth entry and exit while helping shed snow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel Roller:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assists boot movement during entry and exit for more consistent engagement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel Pedal Activation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Step down on the heel pedal to engage the system and flip the highback into riding position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Power Highback:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asymmetric highback design providing support and leverage for edge control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRevolutionary Cube Forward Lean:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tool-free forward lean adjustment in \u003cem\u003e3° increments from 10° to 19°\u003c\/em\u003e, with built-in urethane dampening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Band Auto Ankle Strap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-band construction designed to balance support and comfort during riding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlip Fit Toe Strap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reversible toe strap orientation to better match different boot shapes and sizes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLSR 2.0 Buckles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Auto-locking buckles that hold strap tension securely and allow fast adjustments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCanted Footbed \u0026amp;
