Rome Vice

What's your vice? Immoral or wicked behaviour might be the definition, but snowboarding doesn't really fit into that. Unless you're a 13-year-old kid who still says 'wicked' to describe something you think is pretty cool. Then that's fine, we suppose. 

What we're talking about here is not your Father's liking for cigars, seedy backstreets and ladies of the night, it's quite the opposite, in fact. The Rome Vice binding is more likely to keep you on the straight and narrow, shred-focussed lifestyle with no distractions. You'll be popping pillows and busting out Euro carves with a clear head and no regrets from the night before.

This binding is the truth. Designed to rip the whole mountain, this wonderous piece of kit combines lightness, flexibility and customization for riders who like their power transmission to be super smooth. 

We're not symmetrical, and neither are these bindings. Shaped to match the beautiful imbalance of the human body, the new Asym Vice Highback follows the contours of your beefy calves closer than a hunter stalking a Stag in the Scottish Highlands, giving you precision and control right where you need it.

The Rome Vice Binding also has a tonne of customization options to give you exactly the fit you need. Armed with PivotMount Technology, the Vice gives multiple strap positions so you can dial in the fit, whichever boots you're lacing up throughout the winter. The Contour Boss 2.0 Ankle Strap will give you the main support without pinching in unwanted areas, while the ConformGrip 2.0 Toe Strap will keep you locked in, all day, every day.

The AsymWrap Technology makes the binding even lighter too. The Vice makes good use of Rome's Asym Underwrap technology which integrates aircraft-grade aluminium to optimize their Flex-With-Pop approach to binding design. The heel hoops wrap under the baseplate in the front to leverage rider power into the heel edge and drive power down the rails into the toe edge. With a torsionally flexible profile, these heel hoops keep your interface smooth, surfy and tweakable side to side. It's all designed to give you more edge-to-edge power, and more side-to-side tweak and flow. Stay Surfy out there.

It's also available in five different colour options, so you can match it up to your existing setup. The camo version is extra smooth, of course. So, if you want a binding that will keep you cruising on the whole mountain, capable of carving harder than your Grandma's electric turkey knife, with bags of tech and ergonomic superiority, the Vice is for you.
