UNION Falcor (black) 2025 snowboard bindings

Union Falcor Black 2025 snowboard bindigns

100% redesigned for the 24/25 season. The next generation of Falcor raises the bar for snowboard binding design and introduces the future of sustainable materials at Union. This high-performance freeride/freestyle snowboarding binding is designed specifically for Travis’ aggressive riding style and is ready to take on the biggest lines and the steepest spines.

TECH:

• FLEX: Hard, Highback 9/10, Baseplate 7/10, Strap 8/10
• BASEPLATE: S12 Duraflex Blue - 2 Layer Baseplate Construction - A traditional snowboard baseplate is made of a single layer with the same material and stiffness throughout. Union’s all-new 2 Layer baseplate construction allows us to have two individual layers: the Core [1] and the Frame [2]. Each layer has the possibility of using a unique material and stiffness to achieve the desired ride feel of the binding.
• Direct Connect MD Core: The all-new Direct Connect Mini Disk Base Core is stiff and responsive. This baseplate layer allows for the fastest possible transfer of energy from the rider to the snowboard that Union has ever achieved. Made with Eco-Friendly Duraflex Blue.
• Asymmetrical Halo Base Frame: The Asymmetrical Halo Base Frame is softer and more flexible than our traditional baseplates, allowing for a unique new ride feel and increased side to side freestyle flex. The frame also plays the critical roll of connecting the baseplate core, bottom bushing, heelcup and ankle and toe straps together. Made with Eco-Friendly Duraflex Blue.
• BUSHING: Asym 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 all-new asymmetrical bushing shape allows for increased freestyle flexibility and natural inward canting while riding.
• HIGHBACK: S20 Asym Forged Hybrid 3.0 - 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 updated 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.
• ANKLE STRAPS: The Hybrid 1.0 - Instant response meets all day long foot comfort. The Hybrid 1.0 ankle strap combines our responsive Exoframe exterior with the cushioned comfort and flexibility of the Forma interior. The all-new V cut shape allows riders to push forward into the ankle strap without pressure points. Lightweight, durable, and extremely comfortable, the Hybrid 1.0 ankle strap has quickly become a new freestyle team favorite. "Cushioned comfort and flexibility + instant response. "
• TOE STRAPS: TS 6.0 - Separating the exterior toe strap frame and interior rubber grip allows the rubber grip to form fit perfectly to any boot shape on the market today, while a new more integrated toe connector gives the the binding a more finished overall look. Dual layer construction. Perfect boot-to-binding fit.
