The Nidecker Supermatic is what snowboarding has been waiting for: the first universal, dual-entry, automatic binding. Many brands have tried and failed to crack the step-in code. Most of these systems required specific boots; many didn’t work well in powder; and none of them were as comfortable and reliable as a regular two-strap binding. Nidecker has spent four years developing their own solution that addresses all these issues, and it’s a genuine game changer.

The Supermatic works using a triggered hiback called Drop In tech. Just push your foot in through the back and step down on the heel pedal to automatically engage the binding. That’s it – you’re ready to shred. A simple release lever makes exiting just as rapid. The straps are the same comfy AuxTech design found on our traditional high-end bindings. Adjust them once, then lock them in place using the Locking Slap Ratchets to enjoy a perfect fit every time. The beauty of this system is that it works with any boot from any manufacturer, and there’s no fiddly mechanism to get clogged. If the slope or snow conditions demand it, you can even strap in just like a regular binding.

Designers built the Supermatic using tried-and-trusted materials found throughout the Nidecker line. The baseplate is constructed from bulletproof glass-filled-nylon, with a Slip-N-Grip plate that helps your toe glide in over the pad to make entry even easier. Likewise, they’ve added a roller to the heelcup for buttery smooth operation of the hiback trigger. Finally, the nylon Asym Hadron hiback is designed for a perfect fit, with a responsive flex and an integrated forward lean adjuster for full customization.

Overall it’s a mid-stiff binding which the Nidecker team have rated as their most comfortable to date. They’ve tested it everywhere – on groomers, steep-n-deep freeride lines and in the park – with input from riders of every kind. Bottom line: it’s a speed-entry system you can trust. Whether you’re sick of getting your pants wet doing up your straps, or you wanna smoke your skier friends off the lift...the future just arrived.
