Having trouble entering the Supermatic® ?Updated 19 hours ago

 Due to unintended strap length adjustment:

  • Check that the diagonal strap is not in contact with your boot when in the closed position (see video). Supermatic® is a two-strap binding; the diagonal strap's only function is to keep your ankle strap in the right place when the binding is open. There is no performance advantage to it being really tight. 
  • Check that your strap buckles have not moved from their trimmed position. If necessary, readjust your straps and make sure the Locking Strap Ratchets are in the locked position. 

Due to it not being closed correctly/fully:

  • Open the binding using the release lever and put the highback in the reclined position
  • Remove any snow and ice which may have accumulated under the heel pedal. 
  • Depress the release lever once fully and release.
  • Check that your strap lengths are OK and haven't been modified. 
  • If you've cranked your forward lean, remove it temporarily.
  • Close the binding by pushing the heel pedal with your hand, and check that the heel pedal goes all the way down to the topsheet. 
  • Try to drop your foot in again.
