Nidecker’s Supermatic® Technology Licensed To Bent Metal And Salomon
Nidecker’s game-changing Supermatic® binding system, which has seen explosive growth since its launch three years ago, is set to reach even more riders as Bent Metal Binding Works (BMBW) and Salomon announce they will incorporate the technology into their 2025/26 binding lines.
The long-term partnership will see both brands utilizing Nidecker’s patented baseplate mechanism and LSR strap system while bringing their own distinctive design approach to the highback, forward lean and footbed. The result combines the proven convenience and performance of Supermatic® with each brand’s signature look and feel.
“Discussing snowboarders’ growing need for convenience in bindings with our product team, we realized collaboration was the way to go,” says David Adamczewski, R&D Manager at Salomon snowboards. “Reaching out to our Swiss friends at Nidecker was the natural choice. Their system’s performance and seamless compatibility with our boot range made it an easy decision. We’re thrilled to provide our customers with a product they can trust.”
For Pacific Northwest-based BMBW, the licensing deal opens up new creative opportunities. “Our team is fired up about bringing the Lightning Supermatic® to the Bent Metal line,” says Pete Saari, Co-Founder. “This system has made riders everywhere rethink what’s possible with speed entry. Paired with our own tech like our revolutionary Cube, it mates the world’s fastest and easiest to use forward lean adjuster with the world’s fastest and easiest binding technology. Ride the Lightning”
Thierry Kunz, Brand Lead at Nidecker, believes these partnerships will help shape the future of the sport: “We’ve long believed in the potential of speed entry bindings to transform snowboarding, and by collaborating with other respected brands like Salomon and Bent Metal, we can introduce more riders to this technology. Whether you’re an experienced rider looking to maximize your time on the mountain, or a newcomer drawn to the convenience, Supermatic® makes snowboarding more accessible and enjoyable.”
