Salomon Relay Thruster Snowboard Bindings 2009: How do you start a snowboard binding revolution? First, you forget everything you know about traditional highback bindings. To Salomon, this starts with ignoring the standard aluminum heel cup. The Relay Thruster Bindings feature the Soft Loop heel cup, a flexible cable system that ensures the maximum heel hold available on the market. It doesn’t stop there. Salomon’s new Tensor Integra highback not only houses the most advanced forward lean system but is asymmetrically shaped and low-cut to provide unmatched lateral support. If you want to try something new, the Relay Thrusters offer the most innovative features in freestyle construction in an uber-comfy package.
