Got them!

No where near as camp as I expected. From the front once strapped in you can only see about an inch square of print on each side of the big strap.

Amazed how adjustable they are! Based on carpet riding they are very much more responsive than my old bindings. Seem to make my Nitro magnum feel more flexy.
The base locks down on the board much better than burtons. Really feels solid part of board as apposed to separate board and bindings. Really stiff base.

Better get up to MK to try the out properly

I sport SPi's too....can't fault them....I'd offer to let you have a go with mine but they're small to fit my baby hooves so probably won't fit!!

They are cracking mate, you can try my SPi's next time I see you then

Tuxpoo, the RX are the model down from the SPi's, so they're more flexible. Basically the bottom of what they call the ATV collection, which are their all-mountain bindings, goes RX-SPi-CAD in order.

The RX still have the convertible toe strap, but it has the older highback/footbed/ankle strap, so wont be quite as responsive as the SPi. Also it doesn't have the absolutely superb ratchets that you get with the SPi/CAD either. Check them out and compare on the Ride website below mate
