Are Flux bindings Any Good?
The Flux XF Snowboard Binding is great in terms of fit, support, and response but it comes with almost no shock absorption. For us, no shock absorption is the deal breaker because it’s hard on joints from young to old but if you are ok with that then the rest of the binding is really well done.

How stiff are the DS’s bindings?
Flux rate the DS’s stiffness as 3/5. Which out of 10 would translate to an 6/10 (in my books!). Other reviews I have read consider the flex to be soft to medium-soft – around 3 or 4 out of 10. I wouldn’t say it’s as stiff as a 6/10 but I definitely wouldn’t consider them a medium-soft either. To me these bindings are completely mid-flex (5/10).
