Performance

The Katana AW Pro FASE® is built for riders who prioritize response, precision, and power.

The defining difference between the Pro and standard Katana AW FASE® is the carbon-filled baseplate. Rome uses 30% carbon in the Pro baseplate to create a more reactive platform for riders who want immediate response when transitioning from edge to edge.

The AsymWrap chassis balances that power with lateral mobility and board feel. This gives the binding enough freedom for freestyle movements and surfier turns while maintaining the response needed for aggressive carving and technical terrain.

The result is a premium binding capable of handling everything from high-speed groomers and aggressive carving to backcountry terrain, jumps, and technical freestyle riding.

FASE® Fast Entry

Rome's FASE® system is designed to reduce the time and effort required to strap in without eliminating the familiar feel of traditional snowboard bindings.

The system allows the rider to enter through the rear of the binding, with the AutoBack opening for exit and engaging as the boot enters. The FastStrap ankle system remains connected, allowing the rider to secure the binding quickly with one hand.

Once engaged, the binding provides the secure and responsive feel expected from a traditional strap binding.

Unlike proprietary step-in systems, FASE® works with standard snowboard boots, allowing riders to choose their preferred boots rather than being locked into a specific boot-and-binding combination.

Katana AW Pro vs. Katana AW

The Katana AW Pro FASE® is designed for riders who want a more powerful and responsive version of the standard Katana AW FASE®.

The Pro's 30% carbon-filled baseplate increases responsiveness and energy transfer, making it better suited for aggressive riders who prioritize precision and immediate board response.

Riders looking for a slightly more forgiving all-mountain feel may prefer the standard Katana AW FASE®, while riders who want maximum performance should consider the Pro.

Who Is It For?

The Rome Katana AW Pro FASE® is best suited for advanced and aggressive intermediate snowboarders who want premium all-mountain performance with fast-entry convenience.

It's particularly well suited for riders who enjoy aggressive carving, high-speed resort riding, freeride terrain, jumps, backcountry riding, and technical freestyle riding.

For riders who want maximum adjustability, carbon-enhanced response, and the convenience of FASE®, the Katana AW Pro sits at the top of Rome's binding lineup.

Important Note:

FASE® bindings are designed to work with standard snowboard boots and do not require proprietary FASE® footwear.

Always select binding size based on snowboard boot size and confirm proper boot-to-binding fit before riding. Fit can vary depending on the exterior dimensions and construction of individual snowboard boots.
