The Now Drive Snowboard Bindings give you all the power you need to crush big mountain terrain without feeling like you're in a rigid carving binding. Skate Tech gives you super smooth edge control, and a hint of flexibility in the highback frees the binding up to enable the full range of shredding possibilities, as long as you're willing to drive it hard.
Flex Rating – 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
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.
Hanger 2.0 Nylon Reinforced with 30% Glass Fiber – This baseless design allows for uninterrupted board flex, with rigid I-Beam wall sections that transfer energy to the board's edges.
Post – Nylon with 30% Carbon Fiber
4x4 Disc – Nylon with 50% Glass Fiber
Channel Compatible – Sold Separately
Calfback Highback – Pre-rotated 10 degrees, with a higher medial side to follow your leg angles, a lateral hook for added support, and a Calfback hinge that dampens chatter and eliminates calf-bite. 20mm Higher than the original Freewing.
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 – Now's top of the line toe strap. The EVA combo creates a better overall boot-to-binding fit, and enhances the grip that the EVA provides.
NOW Tool-less Adjuster Straps
PA66-C Buckle Levers – Made from the same high grade composite blend found in the O-Drive hanger. This material is extremely light and strong, reducing overall buckle weight by 20%.
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)
