has anyone ridden them? Can someone describe what they ride like? Thanks in advance.

IMO the most underrated binding in CWB's linup, due to the hinge techs. <BR>If your looking for a binding that has really good ankle support and great heellock and a really soft footbeds, then the Fuse is for you.

yup, fully agreed

very easy to get in and out of. holds your heal down great and very comfortable but for some reason I feel they need to be a little higher on my leg. other than that they're great.

I agree amazing binding, but if I were you I would wait until the 07 comes out in september. I had a chance to ride the new ones and they are even better then 06.

I ride them. Agreed...most underrated. <BR> <BR>They are a little stiffer, which I like.

chris do u hav any pics of them i am probably going to get them when they come out <BR> <BR>or if u hav no pics jst describe them

The fuse are AWESOME. I just want to know how they compare to the factions bindings. I think the factions are $50 cheaper than the fuse. If the factions are just like the fuse but with hinge then I think the factions would be my choice. If the factions don't lock you in as good as the fuse then I would choose the fuse. I love the locked down yet comfortable feel of the fuse!!!

The hindge is just about the only difference. <BR> <BR>For 07, the stiff boot is actually the Deuce, which is the closest binding to the 06 Fuse from what I can tell do far. The fuse got softer for 07. <BR> <BR>I'll most likely be on in the Deuce.

I rode in a set of the Factions and they are going to be my next binding. They were very comfortable and it locked my heel down. It was great not to have my feet go numb for once while riding. It has a seperaton between the top of your foot and the laces which makes it very comfortable even when you crank the laces down tight. My wife has the Fuse and they are very versitale. I was able to get and 8 year old, and 2 9year olds in the S/M Fuse and I cranked the hell out of the laces. All of the kids had no problem riding in them. It made it much easier getting the kids in and out of the water. <BR> <BR>Fuse= Cheapest <BR>Fusion= Middle <BR>Zeus= Most Expensive <BR> <BR>(Message edited by oaf on August 03, 2006)

I assume you mean Faction not Fusion.

Matt- you are right. I just fixed it. need more coffee

I don't think the fuse is the cheapest. That's a 300.00 boot. I think the Factions are priced lower aren't they? <BR> <BR>The Fuse and Zeus are their premier boots.

CWB's Binding lineup goes like this, from cheapest to most expensive: ( not including Comp/Boss/Kure ) <BR>Mobe <BR>Torq (hinge) <BR>Duce <BR>Faction (hinge) <BR>Fuse <BR>Zeus (hinge)

cameron, sorry no pics but they should be black with red and gold stitching. Matches the 07 transcend if your into matching. Like Jarrod said 07 fuse is not the stiffest but it still a killer binding.
