For the 26-27 season, FLUX launched a new project called "MF PROGRAM" to bring riders' ideals to life. Four binding models developed in collaboration with top riders such as Terje Haakonsen and Koji Nakai will be released. Of particular note are the "NGR MF-10" binding, born from Koji Nakai's thorough field testing, and the "NGR" freeride boots
26-27 The "MF PROGRAM" launches to support riders' relentless pursuit of excellence
On the 26th and 27th, FLUX's "MF PROGRAM (Manufacturing Program)" will officially launch. These products were developed to pursue the ideal line, taking into account the different conditions that vary from rider to rider, such as the riding field, movement, physique, and style. Four models developed in collaboration with Terje Haakonsen, Koji Nakai, and Rei Igarashi will be released: "TH MF-08," "SR MF-09," "NGR MF-10," and "CV MF-11."
Among them, the one that deserves particular attention is the "NGR MF-10," which has been tuned by Takaharu Nakai. Let's take a closer look
The "NGR MF-10" is filled with the wishes and ideas of Takaharu Nakai
Having been refined through numerous tests in Hokkaido, this binding incorporates new technologies throughout to meet the rider's delicate demands
Equipped with the newly developed "NGR STRAP"
A completely new strap was adopted to fulfill Takaharu Nakai's request for "a secure fit while allowing for free movement of the ankle."
With a longer design that provides firm support around the ankle, yet retains flexibility in the pressing direction, this shoe offers exceptional hold while allowing for unrestricted and free ankle movement—achieving ideal control
The most distinctive and groundbreaking feature of the NGR STRAP is that the straps have different stiffness levels on the left and right sides. This innovative idea was also brought in by Nakai. The asymmetrical stiffness setting allows for finer control, resulting in a setting that is more suitable for delicate freeriding
FLAT BET + VIBRAM MEGAGRIP provides exceptional grip underfoot
The new "FLAT BED" footbed was developed to suppress excessive reactions caused by pressing down too hard and to support comfortable powder riding. And "VIBRAM MEGAGRIP" was created in response to Takaharu Nakai's request for "even more grip on the soles of the feet when increasing the range of motion." By incorporating this into the footbed, the sole of the boot grips firmly, much like the grip tape on a skateboard
The improved integration between the boots and bindings allows for more nuanced feel in your riding. As a result, it can handle a variety of riding styles, from leisurely cruising to sharp carving
The ultimate freeride boot, "NGR," is born
The evolution of boots is not just limited to bindings; it's also something not to be missed. The "NGR BOOTS," newly introduced this season, are the ultimate freeride model, thoroughly tested by Takaharu Nakai in various environments such as the backcountry of Hokkaido and New Zealand, and proven in the harshest fields
NGR BOOTS
Size: 23cm-30cm

The outsole features Vibram Arctic Grip, which boasts incredible grip, providing superior traction on snow and ice, and offering exceptional peace of mind
The exquisite flex, achieved after countless trials and errors, adapts to all snow conditions, and the instep cover shuts out snow, ensuring comfort even in extremely cold environments. Furthermore, the power belt, essential for high-top snowboarding, enhances direct response, while the race lock system allows for instant on and off and precise fit adjustment
The slightest feeling of unease a rider experiences on the snowy mountain, and the desire to improve things – that accumulation of feedback drives the evolution of the product. This product, born from the intersection of the rider's sensibilities and the brand's technology, is sure to teach you the joy of riding on the snow in a way that specifications alone cannot fully describe. This is a product that riders who want to trust their own instincts more while riding should definitely experience
