Hi Santi,

The binding lugs will show wear and tear as they are a compression fitting, as long as your not experiencing undue movement or a loose engagement then I think things should be okay, but if your concerned I would send an email to Burton directly or take them to a Burton dealer for their expert opinion.

I’m glad that this tip has worked for you too Kirk, best of luck for the coming season and many happy shreds ahead.

Hi Jack again apologies I just received a bulk email of updates regarding comments. Can you give me some additional information regarding your board and rider profile? Off the bat though I would say if your average weight and prefer carving and speed then the Photon would be a better call, but if you prefer side hits and messing around then the Ruler. However if your a heavier rider then I would opt for the Photon no matter and if your very light i.e. 60kg’s then would lean more to the Ruler.

Hi Taras,

I apologise for the late reply, I have only just received an email relating to your comment. My final verdict is that they are an incredibly high performance and capable setup and whether they work or not for you is going to be boot dependent the edge to edge transition is super fast, one of my friends has also bought them and found that they turned wider boards very easily too. I rode them through technical chutes with Baden, off piste and carving and never once did they give me anything but all of the response and comfort that I required. I did find them mildly restrictive for buttering and flatland tricks (But were great on jumps and sidehits), which is why I’m not riding them as that’s a big part of snowboarding for me.

Kind Regards
Luke

Thank you thank you thank you. Like Mr. Mathieson, in the living room, I had some heel lift, and it made me nervous. But just a bit more wiggle and push, the second click, I’m fully connected.

I am riding all mountain most of the time and want to give it a try to the step ons. But I do not know if I should get Ruler or Photon. Any suggestions?

So, what is your final verdict?

Well this is good to know considering I was going to buy a set on eBay. Will go through a retailer instead. Thanks for the non biased review as there were not any that were not from snowboarding magazines.
