Model Info
Product Info
Now Drive Snowboard Bindings put your in complete control. Stick-shift muscle car all-mountain high-revvers, they're extremely responsive without losing the comfort and feel of Skate Tech. These bindings give you an intuitive connection with your board over challenging terrain, deadening chatter but not feel. Calfbacks are like racing seats for your boots: stomp the gas and lay some tracks.
Product Details
Flex
Flex Rating – 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Baseplate
Post – PA 66 with 30% Carbon Fiber
Hanger 2.0 PA 66 with 30% Carbon Fiber – I-Beam wall sections are both rigid and light. Baseless design allows for uninterpreted board flex. Transfers energy to the board's edges.
Flushcup Technology – Designed to hold boots even without a highback, these have a flush inner surface where the highback meets the heelcup. This gives direct energy transfer between boot and binding.
Channel Compatable – Sold Separately
Highback
Calfback – Higher medial side follows leg angles. Calfback technology. Pre-rotated 10 degrees. 20mm higher than Freewing highback. Lateral hook for added support. Dampens chatter and eliminates calf-bite.

Straps
Hybrid Flipit Ankle Straps – This hybrid strap construction is a combination of the original Hyperfuse strap and Flipit strap. An additional layer of reinforcement is applied to the bottom of the EVA cover, which gives you the best of the best: support, durability and comfort. The hybrid Flipit strap can also be used like the regular -- simply switch your ankle straps to the other foot and change your support rating from freestyle to freeride.
3D Toe Straps EVA Combo
Buckles
Buckles 2.0 – These buckles can take more abuse than ever and offers durability and peace of mind.
Additional Features
Skate Tech – Inspired by how easily and efficiently a skateboard turns, major components of Now's system mimic both the function and description of skateboard trucks. The Hanger powerfully transfers energy input from the straps to the bushings and onto the edges of your board. The Kingpin acts as a fulcrum, magnifying this energy through leverage. Traditional bindings diminish energy transfer by the flexing and bending of their baseplate, forcing you to crank your straps down harder, ride with more forward lean, or run taller and stiffer highbacks. This all leads to more foot fatigue and pain. NOW Bindings bypass the middle of the snowboard and direct your energy right onto the board's edges. They simply transfer more power to the board with less work, meaning your feet will stay more relaxed and comfortable, longer.
Highcup Compatibility – Compatible with all NOW hangers. Low profile for extra flexibility. Street, park and pow.
Bushings – Available in Medium (45 Shore) and Hard (55 Shore)

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Flex Rating
Stiff The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
