Bent Metal Binding Works is a collective of engineers, designers, and lifelong snowboarders with one focus: building the best snowboard binding in the world. Every binding in the lineup is handcrafted in the USA at Mervin MFG, the same facility behind Lib Tech and GNU.
What sets Bent Metal apart is the Flex Control Drive Plate system. Think of each Drive Plate as a small snowboard built directly into the binding. Rather than acting as a rigid platform, the Drive Plate transmits energy from your feet straight to your board, with a level of precision and responsiveness that conventional binding designs can't match. Different Drive Plate composite constructions produce distinct ride characteristics across the lineup, so every binding delivers a unique all-terrain performance profile. That variation is intentional and it's the core of how Bent Metal approaches binding design.
The composite engineering behind Flex Control Drive Plates draws on 30 years of environmental manufacturing expertise from Mervin MFG. That legacy means each component is developed and built in-house, not outsourced, with the same material discipline Mervin applies to its board construction. The result is a binding built to the same standard as a high-performance snowboard, not just a chassis designed to hold your boots in place.
Bent Metal offers bindings for both men and women, with a range built to serve different riding styles and terrain preferences, from dedicated freestyle setups to all-mountain and freeride-oriented builds.
