Syndicate Hardshells

[Patmaster]

Anyone saw/tried these? Any relation to Travers "EDGE" boot? Any thoughts? Is it an HO 2017-specific mount?

They are exactly the same as the edge binding but just rebranded

If nothing else, HO never disappoints with their website. Good job by the crew @savaiusini. These boots look good.

$650. Each?! :o

[Patmaster]

@savaiusini, any additional details? HO new plate specific or not?

[Chef23]

Seems a little pricey. They did do some extra engineering to it. Cost for a new Supershell is a little over $500 including liner with a G10 plate.

[BraceMaker]

definitely looks like a specific plate for the HO binding mount.

All top of the line binding systems sold today fit the same front binding pattern.

Apparently not anymore, @Horton. It looks like this HO version is for HO Direct Connect... you would have to use an HO Direct Connect adapter plate on other brand skis.

[Horton]

@savaiusini ?

[Fehlindra]

Seems to be the case but the edge plate have normal pattern, if so those using older HO skis must go for edge version

[LakeOneSkier]

I would tend to agree with @dchristman .. if you are NOT skiing on a v-type/vtx, bolt the new Syndicate Hardshells to a HO Direct Connect adapter plate and mount the plate to any ski.

 

 

 

[savaiusini]

The Syndicate Hardshell system with liner is available in 2017 with a standard plate only and will mount on any ski with standard inserts. We may be releasing a direct connect version at a later date, but for now it is still under development.

I am looking for 2x of these HO Direct Connect adapter plates for the rear boot (specifically the type pictured above) with the two small M6 theaded posts sticking up. Does anyone have 2 rear plates they might want to part with, or know of any shops that might have some still in stock?

 

These are incredibly hard to find, so thanks if anyone can help me out!

Won't these plates work? from https://skipro.com/max-rear-boot-adapt-plate-s16-342681-1.html

[MCWyeth]

No, those newer plates (with an attached foot bed) are a more recent/current type of adapter plate which requires disassembling all the base screws in the entire baseplate of a freeMAX, xMAX, or Stance binding, and will NOT work with the vMax.

 

The specific vMax adapters I am looking for just attach to the binding with two flanged nuts screwed onto the two M6 metric posts sticking up from the adapter plate.

 

The plates I am looking for (does anyone have any of these to sell?) can be seen here: https://westmarine.com/buy/ho-sports--vmax-front-adapter-plate--17258450

Funny I still need the opposite with studs sticking up where the slots are and countersunk holes going in where the studs are.
