Baseplate:
Duraflex MD Baseplate: A minimal contact footprint allows for even board flex and is compatible with the 4x2 mounting pattern, as well as The Channel from Burton. With a mere 5% binding to board contact area, the MD Base enhances natural board flex, boosting performance and overall durability.
Full Bottom Multizone EVA Bushing: Multizone Full Bottom Bushing System allows for natural canting, incredible vibration damping and a surfy feel.
Mini Disk (MD): A minimal contact footprint allows for even board flex and is compatible with the 4x2 mounting pattern, as well as The Channel from Burton.
Highback:
Asymmetric S2 Highback: Union took their multi-zone philosophy and tweaked it towards the outside for boosted lateral support and control when pressing, buttering and spinning off jumps.
Buckles:
Injected Aluminum Buckles: Union's Aluminum Buckles are the perfect combination of function and reliability. Strengthened with springs and a long lasting ratchet mechanism for easy, fast ratcheting power.
Additional Features:
Extruded 3D Aluminum Heelcup: Made of extremely durable extruded aluminium, designed to minimize toe drag while optimizing heel hold.
Canted Gas Pedals: Ideal for riders using a wide stance, Canted Gas Pedals supply extra leverage for ollie power. Canting also allows the ankle and knee joints to be aligned, alleviating pain.
Grade 8.8 Hardware: The most commonly used hardware is made from "mild steel" that has a property class of only 4.6. Considering how much stress a binding is under, Union uses only the strongest steel on ALL hardware.
Tool-Free Adjustments: No screwdrivers needed - Flip the levers for a quick and easy on-hill adjustment.
Union offers a lifetime warranty on baseplates and heelcups. If you break, or even crack your baseplate or heelcup during riding, they'll replace it for life. Guaranteed. All other parts are covered for 1 year from date of purchase.
