Additional notes
Use with snow on the binding
Of course, snow on the binding can
always occur when snowboarding. If
there is a lot of snow, we recommend
removing as much of it as possible
by briefly shaking or wiping it off.
Stepping in is possible with some
snow on the binding. For this purpose,
the CLEW binding is equipped with a
particularly snow and ice proof mech-
anism and several latching steps.
Make sure that you are standing
deep enough in the base plate with
the foot part in place and your ratch-
et teeth clicked in. Once the bind-
ing has locked in place, it does not
release itself until you pull the handle
and at the same time lift the foot
backwards out of the binding.
Where to use it
The Pre Rider binding is particu-
larly suitable for the use on slopes
and cross-country but less for the
snowboard park or for freestyle, as
it is slightly heavier and stiffer than
a binding without a step-in system.
High jumps and intensive use can
lead to stronger wear and tear.
The Pre Rider binding has been de-
veloped to save time and energy and
provides a great riding experience on
slopes and in deep snow.
When should the step in /out
function not be used?
The CLEW system is very useful,
but in two situations it is better to
release your boot by opening the
buckles as usual:
• In knee-deep powder snow when
you do not have the possibility to
free your board from snow by
shaking or wiping it off.
• On very steep slopes
Depending on your level of experi-
ence, decide when it is more prac-
tical for you not to use the step-in
system.
