Company comments: Upgraded for '08. One of our team rider favorites, the Xenon returns for '08, tweaked for higher performance. This year we’ve optimized the flex pattern further, providing a bit more support through the heel piece, while maintaining the smooth forward flex. We’ve also upgraded the dual-zone lacing system by adding an aluminum locking lever for bulletproof hold. When a binding fits this good, you don’t need to mess with anything else.
