The result of years o engineering, dreaming and tweaking, this is the ultra-lightweight, customizable weapon for all-mountain riding. Industry-leading tech like the PivotMount arm, AsymWrap tech and a V-Rod ultralight baseplate solidify the Katana as the next chapter in Flex-with-Pop. A binding that merges customization, lightness and smooth power, the Katana has changed the game forever.

Strapsultralight Ankle Strap:
A superlight 3D pad locks together with a supportive midsection place when tightened - lightweight comfort that flexes into full support.
Footbed + BaseplatePivotMount Technology:
The Rome-only innovation that not only gives you choices of ankle strap support, but also makes strap placement super easy. The out-of-the-box setting is over the ankle for all-mountain performance. But why just go with one choice? With two quick turns of a screw, you can lower both sides for more tweak-ability, or raise both sides for more powerful response. Or adjust both sides independently for a custom asymmetrical response. This is toe-side support and adjustment made easy.
V-Rod Technology:
Like UnderWrap heel hoops, our V-Rod baseplate technology combines toe-to-heel pwoer with side-to-side flexibility and is a key way we create Flex-with-Pop. A diagonal "rod" connects your two main input spots, running from your big toe to the outside corner of your heel. Then, opposing corners of the baseplate near the small toe and near the inside of your heel create side-to-side flexibility. To go with this optimal flex pattern, our V-Rod baseplates feature the industry-leading level of baseplate contact, as low asa 1.56% in the Katana's V-Rod Ultimate Baseplate.
HighbacksOur family of highbacks delivers different levels of support and flexibility. Many feature an asymmetrical profile that puts more power on the outside edge and more flexibility on the inside edge. Some emphasize power, while others emphasize more flexibility.
Construction + MaterialsUnderWrap Heel Hoops:
This is the foundational technology of the Rome binding line. From the katana's AsymWrap to the different levels of full UnderWrap, this is technology that defines that Rome signature feeling of power toe-to-heel and flexibility side-to-side. The underwrap design gives added leverage over your edges, while remaining torsionally flexible for tweakbility and subtle board feel .
