K2 Auto Snowboard Binding

The toe strap on the K2 Auto Snowboard binding automatically closes and opens with the ankle strap, which means more time riding and less time sitting on your ass strapping in. That's right—one ratchet, two straps. The first time you ride, just set the toe strap to your desired tightness; the Auto Binding remembers how you like it each time you strap in. New on the Auto Binding this season is Harshmellow, lightweight polymer pads placed on the toe and heel of each binding that absorbs vibration and disperses shock from flat landings. The Auto's new toe strap goes over the top or across the front of your boot. You'll also appreciate this performance freestyle binding's new super comfy Custom Caddy ankle strap.

Bottom Line: Take your freestyle skills to the entire mountain without wasting time with a toe strap.

What's the difference between the regular autos and the auto

What's the difference between the regular autos and the auto evers? the regular autos stiff enough for hard freeriding?

The auto evers have a waffle like highback intented to make them lighter. Both of these bindings will be fine for freeriding.

These are what you'd hope for

By: Snowbuddy
February 17, 2009

If the negativity shown in these reviews have got you worried then hopefully this may help. My guess would be that most of negative reviews came in for the 07-08 models. I have purchased the 08-09 model after completely checking them out at a local shop. I always recommend seeing the gear before you buy. The Auto is a very solid binding with good adjustments. I had mine mounted and adjusted in 10-15 minutes. The straps are very comfortable and ratchets are smooth. They appear to be fairly light. All mountain freestyle is accurate for the flex they have. The cable is replaceable but not sure if you could do it yourself. After riding them for a day the convenience was nice to have. If reliability is a concern wait one more season to see how the 08-09 versions are holding up. Overall for the price I paid ($130) they are an excellent choice for an all mountain binding.

Is it reliable ? There older models, had the cable snapping in

Is it reliable ? There older models, had the cable snapping in the toe?

I have the 07-08 models they broke...alot. After replacing replacing them outright twice. K2 finally issued a recall which just involved swapping out the cable for one with a beefier anchor at the toe strap end, and they havent broke since. I can honestly tell you that these (even when they were breaking) are the best bindings ive owned in my 18 years on a board. Seriously- get these, or the auto evers you wont be disappointed.

Usually, if last years model has a big problem with something, they fix it in the next years model. So if the Auto's all kept snapping last year, they more than likely resolved this issue.Unfortunately you're not going to know until halfway through the season as everybody's begins breaking again and the negative reviews start coming in. I wouldn't take the chance if I were you though. There's nothing worse than a broken binding up on the mountain.

Excellent binder, best I've ridden

By: Aqua
January 4, 2009

That other ratings spammer is an idiot.. these are plush, easy to use light weight bindings, hands down the best I've ever ridden. Some did have problems last year but all those have been fixed, and this years are fine.
I would highly recommend these as an all mountain quick entry binding, that doesn't have the issues of Flow but is nearly as fast to get into and a lot faster to get out of.

I put these on my Never Summer SL-R for an insane ride this season!
