NOW Men's IPO 2017 / 2018 Snowboard Bindings

Product Description

The original & still the most popular Now binding. The IPO utilises the advanced Skate Tech technology to deliver a smooth & progressive ride, making this the perfect binding for recreational riders who want that optimum balance of great performance & all day riding comfort.

Baseplate: Skate Tech Hanger 1.0 30% Fibreglass
What is Skate Tech? Inspired by how easily & efficiently a skateboard turns, major components of Now's system mimic both the function & description of the skateboard trucks. The hanger powerfully transfers energy input from the straps to the bushings & onto the edges of your board. The kingpin acts as the fulcrum magnifying this energy through leverage. Traditional bindings diminish energy transfer by the flexing & bending of their baseplate, forcing you to crank your straps down harder, ride with more forward lean, or run taller & stiffer high backs. This all leads to more foot fatigue & pain. Now bindings bypass the middle of the snowboard & direct your energy right onto the boards & edges. They simply transfer more power to the board with less work meaning your feet will stay more relaxed & comfortable, longer.

Bushings: Medium (45 Shore)
Dual Injection, quick snap connection to hanger. Main contact point to board, True dampening system. Applies energy while diffusing board chatter.

Highback: Freewing
Higher medial side follows leg angles. Pre-rotated 10 degrees laterally, 15mm higher than the original Flex Hinge highback. Lateral hook for added support. Dampens chatter & eliminates calf bite.

Ankle Straps: SIe VA
The word SIe VA means single injected e VA. The body of the strap is made entirely with one part e VA injection, eliminating any stitching & reducing gluing to less than 1% of the strap area. A nylon webbing that is strong durable & flexible is inserted in the body of the strap at one end & sealed by a micro-injected logo. This new SIe VA strap is about durability comfort & reducing weight.
