Skill Level: Intermediate–Advanced
Riding Style: All-Mountain / Freestyle
Flex: 6/10
Best For: Everyday Resort Riding & Fast Entry
Personality: Playful & Responsive
The 2027 Bataleon Blaster AW FASE® is Bataleon's best-selling all-mountain freestyle binding, now equipped with the FASE® Fast Entry System for lightning-fast entry without sacrificing the feel of a traditional strap binding. Built for riders who want surfy board feel, dependable response, and maximum convenience, the Blaster AW FASE® blends premium comfort with versatile performance that excels everywhere from park laps to powder stashes.
At its core is Bataleon's AsymWrap™ Chassis, which enhances heelside response while allowing the board to flex naturally underfoot for a more playful ride. The AutoBack Highback automatically opens and closes with the FASE® system, while the 3D AuxTech® Cradle FastStrap, Lock-In AuxTech® Toe Strap, 2° Canted EVA Footbed, and Bulletproof Buckles provide a secure, comfortable fit throughout the day. Unlike many quick-entry systems, FASE® works with virtually any snowboard boot, giving riders traditional strap performance with significantly faster entry and exit.
Whether you're carving groomers, boosting side hits, riding park, or exploring natural terrain, the Blaster AW FASE® delivers one of the most refined fast-entry experiences available.
Intermediate to advanced riders
All-mountain freestyle riders
Riders who want faster entry without dedicated Step On® boots
Snowboarders looking for a playful yet responsive binding
Riders who split time between carving, park, and side hits
The 2027 Blaster AW FASE® continues Bataleon's flagship AsymWrap™ platform with the fully integrated FASE® Fast Entry System, AutoBack Highback, 3D AuxTech® FastStraps, and updated hardware. It remains Bataleon's benchmark all-mountain freestyle fast-entry binding.
6/10 – Medium
The Blaster AW FASE® offers a balanced medium flex that's responsive enough for aggressive resort riding while remaining playful for freestyle progression. It's slightly softer and more forgiving than the Blaster PRO AW FASE®, making it an excellent everyday binding.
The Fast-Entry All-Rounder
A premium all-mountain freestyle binding that combines traditional strap-binding performance with the speed and convenience of FASE®.
Riders considering the Blaster AW FASE® should also look at:
Bataleon Blaster PRO AW FASE® x Tor for a stiffer, more aggressive ride.
Rome Katana FASE for riders wanting maximum adjustability.
Union Force for a traditional medium-flex all-mountain binding.
Arbor Cypress for riders who prefer a surf-inspired ride with conventional straps.
The Blaster AW FASE® stands out because it delivers the convenience of fast entry without forcing riders to give up the feel and adjustability of a traditional strap binding. It's comfortable, highly versatile, and one of the strongest choices for riders who want one binding to handle everything the mountain has to offer. Independent reviewers have also praised its excellent board feel, shock absorption, and natural riding characteristics compared to many other quick-entry systems.
