Available Fall 2022, the Nidecker Supermatic bindings are the first snowboard bindings that offer automatic entry any boot and can still be used as a single-piece two-strap binding.

In order to get the most from Nidecker Supermatic step in snowboard bindings, it's important to set them up correctly for your snowboard boot:

- Start by locking the heel pedal all the way down with the highback in its upright riding position - listen for the clicks as you do so. Loosen the strap on both sides and place your boot into the binding.
- Align the ankle strap so that it sits centrally over your boot. Lock the inner ladder into place, then adjust the ratchets so that it’s snug, but not too tight. Do the same for the toecap strap.
- Now attach the middle ladder and fit it so that there’s a slight gap between it and the boot. Its function is to keep the straps in place, and it’s important that it’s not tight or sitting against the boot.
- Once the straps are fitted, click down the Locking Slap Ratchets to keep them in place and save your settings. If you can see the red markers, the ratchets aren’t secured yet.
- Finally, remove your boot from the binding by pressing down on the release lever, raising your heel and sliding your foot out. Now you’ll be able to slide your boot back into the binding and lock it into place. The Slip ‘n’ Grip plates on the footbed and highbacks, as well as the heelcup roller, make this easy in any snow conditions, and the ExoFrame straps ensure that snow doesn’t build up in the binding.
- If you want more heelside response, you can add forward lean to the hiback by using the mechanism on the rear of the hiback.
- To use the Nidecker Supermatic step in snowboard binding, just slide your foot in, toe first, then press down with your heel, and the hiback will lock shut automatically. There are three points of engagement in the mechanism, ensuring it will lock shut securely. If there’s any snow build up, you may have to clear out the area underneath the heel pedal, just as you would clear snow out from the footbed of a traditional binding.
- When you’re on steep or uneven terrain, or in super deep snow, you might prefer to use the bindings like a traditional two-strap, which is perfectly possible using the ratchets as normal.
- Whilst you’re skating or getting on a lift, it is best to fold the highback down towards the toe edge of the board. Then when you want to get back into the binding, simply flick the highback back up and put your foot in as normal.
