NOW bindings bypass the middle of the snowboard & direct your energy right onto the board’s edges. They do this by mounting the baseplate via their exclusive Kingpin design. This acts as a fulcrum, transferring power direct to both the toe side & heel side edges of the board. The increased efficiency means you ride with less effort & you don’t need to crank your straps so tight, so not only do you get increased performance, but you can also ride for longer. Hanger 2.0: The 30% Glass Hanger 2.0 offers a widened heel cup footprint when compared to the original Hanger 1.0. to improve boot-fitting compatibility. The drop-down medial wall adds lateral flexibility, while snow clearing channels prevent ice build-up underneath the highback legs. Freestyle Flipit Strap: The NOW Freestyle FLIPIT strap features a slightly different construction to the original FLIPIT strap but shares the same inner spine. NOW have added two types of e VA to the strap to create a super cushy yet supportive fit. The Freestyle FLIPIT strap features a traditional stitch & turn construction with an injected spine sandwiched between e VA & fabric.
