Some call it innovation, CWB calls it common sense. The Faction is the latest Hinge Tech boot to emerge from CWB Board Co. Demand for Hinge Technology bindings has been so overwhelming the decision was made to launch the new model early. The first 2007, the Faction features an "Articulated Toe”. The Articulated toe is nylon, Lycra and neoprene precisely wrapped around segmented EVA to construct a toe rubber that forms to any foot providing comfortable support. The Faction also has a higher stiffer wrap than the Torq model, and a dual hidden lace. The Hinge Tech system makes entry easy with the flip of a lever. It delivers excellent heel hold down with Zero heel lift. Clamp it to any board with the dual tooth “Lockjaw” plate and you are in for the ride of your life.
