Flow Fuse Fusion 22 Bindings
The Flow Fuse Fusion 22 brings together everything we've learned about rear-entry convenience and high-performance all-mountain riding. Our signature SpeedEntry Locking Slap Ratchet highback drops down to let you step in, then locks upright with a single motion — no bending, no straps, no hassle. The Fusion PowerStrap wraps your boot in dual-zone support, combining a traditional strap's precision with the speed and simplicity riders expect from Flow.
We built the Fuse Fusion 22 for riders who demand both responsive edge control and the ability to get strapped in before their friends finish their first binding. The asymmetrical highback and rockered base plate work in tandem to maximize board feel and reduce pressure points. Whether you're lapping groomers at dawn or sessioning side hits all afternoon, our Locking Slap Ratchet system keeps your boots locked in and your mind on the next turn.
Quick specs
How the Fusion PowerStrap works
The Fusion PowerStrap system splits traditional strap zones into separate heel and toe components that work together to lock your boot in place. The toe zone captures the front of your boot with a low-profile cradle design, while the heel zone wraps around your ankle and heel cup with adjustable tension.
Both zones tighten simultaneously when you flip the highback up, eliminating the need for manual strap pulls. We engineered the strap geometry to distribute pressure evenly across your boot, so you get secure hold without hotspots during long sessions. The LSR buckles let you dial in micro-adjustments on the fly without carrying tools in your pocket.
SpeedEntry system and rider stance
Our Locking Slap Ratchet highback is the foundation of every Flow binding. Push down on the highback lever, step into the binding with your boot, and flip the lever back up — the entire process takes about two seconds once you’ve ridden Flow a few times.
The asymmetrical highback contours to the natural shape of your calf and follows your leg’s angle when you’re in a riding stance. We angled the spine to match how your body actually moves during turns, which reduces fatigue and improves response when you lean into your heelside edge. The rockered base plate complements this geometry by letting your boot sit in a more neutral position, reducing the strain on your ankles during flat-base riding and transitions.
Materials and durability
We construct the Fuse Fusion 22 frame from a composite and aluminum hybrid that balances flex and strength. The base plate uses injection-molded composite in high-wear zones and aluminum inserts where you need direct energy transfer to your board edges.
The highback layup includes a fiberglass-reinforced spine that resists deflection during hard carves but still allows for enough torsional flex to keep your ride smooth over chatter. We coat all metal hardware with corrosion-resistant finishes, and the strap materials are UV-treated to prevent degradation from sun exposure during those bluebird spring days. The same aluminum-insert construction we developed for the NX2 series carries over here, giving you consistent response across multiple board setups.

Flow Fuse Fusion 22 binding questions
Yes, the highback includes three forward lean positions that you adjust using the Allen-head screw at the base of the spine. We ship the bindings in the neutral zero-degree position, and you can add five or ten degrees of forward lean depending on your riding style and personal preference.
More forward lean increases response for aggressive carving and steeper terrain, while a neutral position suits park riding and all-mountain cruising. You can make the adjustment with a standard multi-tool in about thirty seconds per binding.
The Fusion PowerStrap delivers the same edge-to-edge response as a high-quality traditional binding because the strap zones lock your boot heel and toe independently. When you flip the highback up, both strap zones tighten simultaneously to eliminate any play between your boot and the binding.
Many riders report better heel-hold with Flow bindings because the rear-entry design naturally centers your boot in the binding and keeps your heel seated deep in the cup. The asymmetrical highback also improves response by following your leg angle during turns rather than fighting against it.
The Flow Fuse Fusion 22 is compatible with all major snowboard boot brands as long as you match your boot size to our sizing chart. The Fusion PowerStrap accommodates both traditional lace boots and BOA or speed-lace systems without any special adapters.
We recommend boots with a medium to stiff flex rating for the best performance with these bindings, since very soft boots can feel a bit mushy when paired with the Fusion 22's medium flex. If you ride a stiffer boot, you'll get maximum energy transfer and response from the binding's composite and aluminum frame.
Most riders get comfortable with the SpeedEntry motion within their first three to five chair runs. The learning curve is minimal — you're essentially trading the motion of pulling straps for the motion of stepping in and flipping a lever.
We suggest practicing the entry and exit process a few times at home with the bindings mounted on your board before your first day on the mountain. Once the motion becomes automatic, you'll be strapped in and ready to drop before riders on traditional bindings finish their first buckle.
Yes, the Fuse Fusion 22 works well in powder as long as you keep snow from packing into the binding base before you step in. The rear-entry design actually makes powder days easier because you don't have to sit down in deep snow to deal with straps.
We recommend tapping your binding against your board or using your glove to clear any packed snow from the footbed before stepping in. Once you're locked in, the enclosed strap design keeps snow from building up around your boot during the run.
The Fuse Fusion 22 features our newer Fusion PowerStrap system with separate heel and toe zones, while the original Fuse uses a single-piece PowerStrap. The Fusion strap provides more precise hold and better pressure distribution across your boot.
The Fusion 22 also includes an updated asymmetrical highback design and a rockered base plate that weren't present on the earlier Fuse model. Both bindings use the same SpeedEntry Locking Slap Ratchet system, but the Fusion 22 offers improved ergonomics and all-day comfort for riders who log long hours on the mountain.
No, we include both four-hole and Burton channel mounting hardware with every pair of Fuse Fusion 22 bindings. The universal mounting discs in the box work with both systems, so you can move the bindings between different boards without buying extra parts.
The channel hardware uses sliding T-nuts that lock into Burton's track system, and the included bolts are sized correctly for channel mounting. You'll just need a Phillips screwdriver or the tool that came with your board to complete the installation.
