Atomic Metron 11 B5C (2008)

Secure on edge, but more forgiving than the SX 12 (above), this Metron delivers a smooth, terrain-absorbing ride. Click in and feel the well-engineered binding system seamlessly transfer power to track through crud.

Props

Playful, and won’t lock you into a series of uniform, sterile carved turns.

Gripes

Not a natural turn initiator. Requires more steering than the SX 12.

Tester's Take
