Any thoughts on Donek Flux?

Sent email to Coiler. Will see what they recommend.

Riding at night while kids are at ski team practice( hard packed and icy). At 50, I am looking for damp, forgiving and an easy carving board. Sidecut radius under 10, minimum width 240 + If you don't have a used one, but could suggest a new one that would be appreciated as well. Thanks

Any reviews or input would be appreciated.

Yes, everything is compatible. New boots work on old binding with no modifications.

Recall is real. I have not used the new bindings, so I can't comment. K2 made good on a repair after the warranty period expired, no questions asked. My guess is they will stand behind the product if you have an issue.

RCrowbar- Starks fit fine,but I don't wear wide shoes. Never had a binding failure, not many parts to break. I am sure it happens, but they seem pretty bulletproof. You can buy older clicker binding on Ebay for $50. I wonder if the new ones are really any different? Toe, heel and locking mechanism look exactly the same and fit old/new boots. I would be interested to hear from someone who has used the new system comparing it to a traditional hardboot set up?

Out of control kid plowed into a few us of in the lift line. Board hit my right boot very hard where one of the Boa lace guides is stitched in. The Boa cable guide came loose the next week when cranked tight. The hit seems to have cracked the plastic guide. K2 was great about covering the boots after the warranty expired. My experience is 90% groomers, so I can't comment on backcountry or split boarding. Older step ins without an adjustable high back were not great. Older step ins with an adjustable high back are as good as anything. The problem was only two or three models had adjustable lean high backs. The boots are definitely stiffer, warmer and lighter than my old ones. Feels more like walking in ski boots than snowboard boots. Using the second Boa to crank down your heel is also a nice feature.

I have a pair of the older K2 clicker boots with Boa(older than my kids) and I have a pair of the newer K2 Stark boots. I have used the Starks with and without a highback. Older boots need a highback, but Starks do not. They are stiff enough. I kept clickers as I am an old guy who likes stepping in vs sitting down to strap in. The only negative, you cannot adjust the angle of the boot unlike hard boots and soft bindings. I have never tried the boots on a hard boot alpine board. They are probably one of the stiffness boots you can get without going to hard boots. I had an issue after the warranty period expired, but K2 still sent a new pair of boots.

Thanks for the replies. All rates seem to be about $180.00 US.

Any input on the most cost effective method? DHL?? Thanks

SIdecut? SL or GS?

Thanks loopback.

Not familiar with this model, do you have a link to the specs? Do you know what year it was made? Thanks
