Nitro Talent is the most affordable binding in Nitro's lineup, but that doesn't make it any less advanced. It's perfect for both cruising and carving on the slopes, rails and jumps in the park, powder on open fields, and in the woods. Talent is a lightweight and medium-stiff binding with a padded baseplate (EVA cushioning) to help you ride longer. Like the other bindings in the lineup, Talent features an adjustable aluminum heelcup to fit various boot sizes and provide better response. The highback offers good support and response whether you're riding on the slopes, in the park, or in powder.

Both the Toe and Ankle straps are molded for a snug fit without pressure points. Talent is suitable for men, women, and youth who want to snowboard as much as possible.
