Baseplate:
Dual Density EVA Bushing: Two separate bushing densities provide incredible dampening and true board flex. One supplying durability, the other providing comfort.
Stage V Baseplate: Backed with a Lifetime Warranty, the Stage V Duraflex Base is designed for riders looking for stripped down performance that won't break the bank.
Duraflex™ CB MD Baseplate: The Mini Disk baseplate is designed to minimize dead spots between the binding-to-board contact area to a mere 5%. In translation, the minimized binding interface allows your board to flex naturally, boosting its performance and durability.
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:
CP1 Highback: Developed and tested by Gigi Ruf. Incredibly light, extremely comfortable, and outstanding for all types of snowboarders and every type of terrain.
Straps:
3D Symmetric Direct Connect Straps: Symmetric Direct Connect ankle strap system features a multi-layer strap core that evenly distributes pressure across the top of the foot. They hold you in, but don't hold you back.
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.
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.
