The 2027 Rome Katana AW FASE® represents the evolution of one of snowboarding's most respected bindings. Built on Rome's legendary Katana AsymWrap™ platform and enhanced with the FASE® Fast Entry System, it delivers elite all-mountain performance with dramatically quicker entry and exit. Rather than compromising ride quality for convenience, Rome engineered the Katana AW FASE® to maintain the same surfy board feel, exceptional adjustability, and powerful response that have made the Katana a favorite among advanced riders for years.
At the heart of the binding is Rome's AsymWrap™ Platform, featuring a forged aluminum heel hoop and a G Baseplate that balances edge-to-edge precision with natural board flex. The FASE® Fast Entry System pairs an AutoBack highback with Rome's OmniFlex AuxTech® Ankle Strap, allowing riders to step in quickly while retaining the secure feel of a traditional two-strap binding. Add in the ProGrip AuxTech® Toe Strap, 2° Dual-Density Canted Footbed, PivotMount Max strap adjustment system, and Never Miss A Day spare parts kit, and you have one of the most customizable, comfortable, and innovative bindings available for 2027.
Whether you're carving groomers, dropping cliffs, riding powder, or boosting side hits, the Katana AW FASE® is built for riders who demand uncompromising performance with the convenience of fast entry.
Advanced to expert riders
Aggressive all-mountain riders
Freestyle riders wanting premium response
Riders seeking fast entry without proprietary boots
Snowboarders who love dialing in their equipment
The Katana AW FASE® marks the next generation of Rome's flagship binding by integrating the FASE® Fast Entry System into the iconic Katana platform. For 2027, Rome also expanded the FASE lineup to include a women's Katana AW FASE® and introduced new Volt FASE® models, reflecting the brand's continued investment in performance-focused fast-entry technology.
8/10 – Medium-Stiff
The Katana AW FASE® offers a responsive, precise ride while the AsymWrap™ platform maintains enough lateral flex for presses, tweaks, and a surf-inspired feel. It is powerful without feeling overly rigid.
The Ultimate Adjustable Fast-Entry Binding
Elite-level response, unmatched customization, and premium comfort—all with one of the industry's most refined fast-entry systems.
Riders considering the Rome Katana AW FASE® should also look at:
Rome Katana AW Pro FASE® for maximum response and carbon-enhanced precision.
Bataleon Blaster PRO AW FASE® x Tor for an aggressive all-mountain freestyle alternative.
Bent Metal Lightning Supermatic® for riders wanting a fully automatic entry system.
Nitro Team for a premium traditional all-mountain binding.
The Katana has long been regarded as one of the most adjustable bindings in snowboarding, and the addition of the FASE® system only strengthens that reputation. Unlike many quick-entry designs, it preserves the connected feel and customization of a traditional strap binding while significantly reducing time spent strapping in. For riders who want elite performance with modern convenience, the Katana AW FASE® stands among the very best bindings of 2027.
