The Union Explorer FC Splitboard Bindings take the "snowboarder's splitboard binding" to higher heights with some fancy materials and futuristic engineering. Known for their ride quality and comfort, these puppies sport featherlight titanium bits and a forged carbon heelcup, making them lighter than their aluminum and steel-equipped stablemates. 70 grams may not seem like much, but lifting that extra weight over and over again adds up. These bindings help you save every last bit of energy for the ride down, which is what it's all about!
Tour Mode
No-Nonsense Touring Mode – For touring, the binding slides into the climbing cradle and is locked into place with the pin.
Spring Loaded Pin System – By combining the standard pin system with the Split System baseplate, Union increases the amount of connection between board and binding. Just one pin changes the mode and locks it into place.
Ride Mode
Ride Mode – For riding, the binding slides onto the baseplate which rotates over the center of the board. The pin slides the through the middle of the baseplate for maximum connection.
Baseplate
SB2 Duraflex CB – This carbon-injected base is stiff and distributes 100% of the energy from edge to edge.
Forged Carbon Heelcup – This lightweight material helps make these bindings 70g lighter than the aluminum-equipped version.
Straps
Exoframe 5.0 Ankle Strap – The Exoframe 5.0 utilizes tri-axial progressive flex for the perfect boot to binding fit and instant power and response when you’re ready to lay down a hard charging, high speed carve. Easily adjust your ankle strap to any boot with the quick snap of the pin adjustment, no tools needed.
TS 4.0+ Toe Strap – Simple, lightweight, durable - the all-new TS 4.0+ toe strap keeps you locked in for the ride down without letting you know it’s there. Easily adjust to your boot size, and get ready for season long foot comfort.
Buckles
Magnesium S1 Ratchets – When you ride 100+ days a season your ratchets take a beating. Freezing temps, water damage and constant strapping and unstrapping all play a role in the longevity of a binding ratchet. Lucky for you, the all-new Magnesium 4.0 ratchets are Union’s answer to the elements. A fully integrated spring protected from the harsh outside provides you with Union’s best ratchet to date.
