Bent Metal Transfer 2026

The Transfer is Bent Metal’s most direct expression of all mountain performance. Built around a stiff, responsive platform, it is designed for riders who want a binding that stays composed at speed, holds up under pressure, and translates board input without hesitation. Sitting firmly in the medium-stiff category, the Transfer targets intermediate to advanced riders looking for a binding that works across varied terrain without softening or simplifying the ride.

At the core of the Transfer is a magnesium fiber Flex Control Drive Plate paired with an engineered polymer highback, creating a balanced mix of power and control for both freeride and freestyle-oriented boards. A two-piece chassis with a mini pivot disk allows the board to flex naturally while maintaining a precise connection underfoot. The canted footbed and heel shock pad help manage impact and reduce fatigue on longer days, while Bent Metal’s Dual Band ankle strap provides consistent hold without excess bulk. The 25/26 Transfer continues Bent Metal’s long-running collaboration with Lib Tech, with select colourways featuring artwork tied to core snowboard culture rather than trend-driven graphics.

About Bent Metal Binding Works

Bent Metal Binding Works is a snowboard binding brand born out of Mervin Manufacturing, the company behind Lib Tech and GNU. Founded in the mid-2000s by engineers and lifelong snowboarders, Bent Metal was created with a singular focus on bindings as a performance-critical part of a snowboard setup, not an afterthought. Every product is designed and tested with real riding in mind, backed by decades of experience in snowboard manufacturing and culture.

Known for its no-nonsense approach, Bent Metal blends functional design with deep ties to core snowboarding through long-standing relationships with riders, artists, and Mervin’s competition heritage. The result is a binding line built to last, built to be ridden hard, and built by people who understand how snowboard equipment actually gets used on the hill.
