Technology:

S20 Asym Forged Hybrid 3.0 Highback:
- Eco-Friendly Duraflex Blue and Italian made Forged Carbon combine to create a flex profile that compliments Travis Rice’s aggressive freestyle riding. The stiff and responsive Forged Carbon spine allows for instant edge to edge control, while the nylon frame allows for freestyle flexibility and comfort. The asymmetrical shape follows the natural angle of the leg for a more anatomical fit and flex. 10% lighter than the previous generation of Falcor highbacks.

Magnesium S1 Ratchets:
- Magnesium S1 ratchets are Union’s answer to the elements. A fully integrated spring protected from the harsh outside provides you with Union’s best ratchet to date. Longer life span and better spring return guaranteed.

Hybrid 3.0 Ankle Strap w/ HP Core:
- Lightweight and responsive, the Hybrid 3.0 ankle strap features a hot-press EVA core for cushioning and comfort. Its all-new hinge connector makes getting in and out of the binding effortless.

S12 Halo Duraflex Blue Baseplate w/ Duraflex Blue Core:
- A traditional snowboard baseplate is made of a single layer with the same material and stiffness throughout. Union’s 2 Layer baseplate construction allows us to have two individual layers: the Core and the Frame. Each layer has the possibility of using a unique material and stiffness to achieve the desired ride feel of the binding.

Non-Stick HP EVA Footbed:
- Helps to prevent snow and ice build up under snowbard boots and adds an additional layer of dampening.

TS 6.0 Dual-Layer UltraGrip Toe Strap:
- Separating the exterior toe strap frame and interior rubber grip allows the strap to form-fit seamlessly to any boot shape on the market for superior grip and response.

Asymmetrical Molecular Bushing:
- More durable and more cushioned than traditional thermoformed EVA, Molecular Bushings act as a suspension system between the baseplate and the boards top sheet, to help reduce vibrations from harsh snow pack. The asymmetrical bushing shape allows for increased freestyle flexibility and natural inward canting while riding.

Suggested Board to Binding Flex:
- Boards and bindings come in a variety of stiffnesses for different types of riding. Every rider has their own preference on how a board and binding should interact. Below is Union´s suggestion of board to binding flex.
