The 2022 Union Force Binding is one of the most popular bindings and we don't just mean in the Union range, but in the entire world. Renowned for all mountain performance, top notch quality, and reliable consistency. It's the one you'll see almost every Union team rider riding, the one you'll see lapping the park, carving the groomers, or slashing powder, and doing it all with style. Year after year the Force delivers supreme all-terrain performance and comfort, it's consistently one of the best looking bindings we stock here at MSC, and subsequently, one of the bindings we sell out of first. At this price you won't find much else that delivers unbeatable style, pristine comfort, and bomb-proof durability that's designed to ride 100+ days per season. The Force isn't just a fashion piece, it's a future-proof binding full of tech features, boasting season after season dependability.
Binding Type: All Mountain
Flex: 7/10 (Mid)
Board Compatibility: This Union binding comes with a Universal Disk, compatible with 2x4, 4x4, and channel binding mounting systems.
Baseplate:
Stage 4 Duraflex CB
The Duraflex blended nylon in this baseplate is designed specifically for the cold, and maintains its strength and intended performance across a broad range of temperatures. The design of the baseplate aims to maintain the true flex of your snowboard, while still dampening chatter and keeping its strength.
Highback:
Force Duraflex ST
The Duraflex injected multizone highbacks found on the Force binding are supportive, durable, and feature a tapered shape towards the top, promoting flex and tweakability for huge stylish presses and grabs.
Buckles:
Magnesium
A construction process completely unique to Union allows them to make their ratchets out of Magnesium, resulting in a product that is 4 times stronger than aluminium while being half the weight. Not only that, it's easily recycled so the environment benefits too.
Straps:
Exoframe 4.0 Ankle Strap + TS 2.0 Rhombus Toe Strap
These straps were specifically designed to provide the security and comfort you'd expect from the Atlas but with reduced weight, materials, and a better boot to binding connection with none of the elastic stretching found in regular straps.
Cushioning:
Multi-Density Thermoformed EVA Bushings
These bushings maintain their performance season after season. Where other materials would deteriorate over time, Unions bushings stay consistently strong even after seasons of use. The EVA removes pressure points on all four corners of the baseplate and dampens your ride, absorbing chatter and hard landings, and dual density EVA under the heels and toes plus a full EVA foot bed with adjustable toe ramp gives awesome boot to binding to board response.
Additional Features:
Extruded 3D Aluminium Heelcups:
This heelcup increased the stiffness of the binding, increases response, and is adjustable to help you dial in the perfect fit.
Classic Forward Lean Adjuster:
No tools needed for this one, just flick the tab down and slide the panel for more response or a looser feeling ride on the fly.
Grade 8.8 Hardware:
Union ensure their hardware is reliable by using the strongest steel available on the market.
Tool-less strap adjust:
Whether you're letting a friend borrow your bindings or you just need to fine tune your fit, you can adjust your straps on the fly without the need for tools.
Canting:
The footbed of this binding is angled to better align your joints and provide a more natural feeling, less fatiguing ride.
