Clew Independence 1.0 2026 Black

The 2026 CLEW Independence 1.0 is the perfect binding for riders who want a faster, effortless entry without sacrificing stability and control. CLEW combines advanced technology with minimalist design for a powerful, lightweight binding you’ll want to ride all day.

• Hybrid entry system: The Independence uses a patented system that combines classic ratchets with a step-in/out mechanism, allowing you to get in and out lightning-fast without compromising on fit or safety.

• Ultra-light & robust: Thanks to high-performance materials with long glass fibers, this binding weighs up to 20% less than older models while being up to 15% stronger at critical points.

• Natural stance via canting: The binding base features integrated 2.5° canting, ensuring efficient power transfer and a more natural, comfortable stance.

• Tool-free adjustments: Both the ankle and toe straps are designed so you can adjust them without tools – ideal for quickly fine-tuning to your boot or riding style.

• Compatibility: Works with almost all softboots – no special boots required. Additionally, the binding is compatible with all common mounting systems (4×4, 4×2, Channel & 3D).

• Flex & response: The flex is described as “medium-stiff”, providing a solid mix of comfort and direct response across various terrains.

• Durable materials: Constructed with TPU, EVA, PA6 with glass fiber, stainless steel, aluminum, and galvanized steel – carefully chosen for both strength and weight.

• Made in Germany: Thanks to German production, you benefit from high-quality finishing and precision.

• User profile: Ideal for all-mountain riders – whether you’re carving on the slopes, riding through powder, or hitting the trick line in the park.

The updated Independence 1.0 offers the freedom of a step-in binding without the drawbacks of traditional step-in systems. CLEW has optimized the mechanics so the binding works reliably, even in extreme temperatures.
