Union’s #1 men’s park and freestyle binding, the 2026 Strata is built for riders who want to press, pop, and play across the entire mountain. With a soft, surfy flex and industry-leading shock absorption, it delivers a buttery ride that doesn’t compromise on control. Whether you're hitting rails, boosting side hits, or slashing pow, the Strata lets your board flex naturally—just the way it was meant to. A true Union favorite.
- Flex Rating - 5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) - Soft to medium flex that keeps board feel and freestyle performance a priority.
- S6 Duraflex ST - Flex where you want it and response where you need it. The "ST" variant contains increased glass fiber for higher response and durability in cold temperatures compared to standard Duraflex.
- OTE Fused Vaporlite 2.0 Bushing - Raising the bar for cushioning and vibration dampening, this technology absorbs impact while continuing to create a responsive feel.
- Thermoformed EVA Footbed - Prioritizes board feel while maintaining comfortable cushioning.
- Canted Footbeds - With 3 degrees of canting, align your legs and knees to increase your comfort while riding. Stay riding all day and decrease fatigue.
- Mini Disk - Designed for optimal board feel and natural, effortless flex. Compatible with 2x4 and Channel mounting systems.
- S10 Duraflex ST - Union's layered highback construction creates a harmonious balance between flex and response. This design helps to improve your edge to edge control while still having the tortional flex to stay playful.
- Classic FLAD - Pull the lever away from the highback and quickly adjust your forward lean angle to suit the terrain in front of you.
- Ankle Strap - Forma Hybrid with Memory Core: Rapid response on the outside, with cushioned memory core on the inside.
- Toe Straps - TS 2.1 UltraGrip: This strap was designed with security and adjustability in mind. Multi-positional options that conform to fit any boot without slipping.
- Strap Adjustment - EXO Quick Lock
- Buckles - Aluminum S2 with Steel Base: Providing strength and durability, Union's magnesium buckles are four times stronger than aluminum, while being only half the weight. With ease in mind, spend more time riding, less time messing with buckles.
- Grade 8.8 Steel Hardware - The strongest steel available on the market, Union's use of Grade 8.8 represents a commitment to delivering the strongest and most reliable bindings on the market today.
- Extruded 3D Aluminum Heelcup - Designed for optimum heel hold and minimization of drag, Union 3D Extruded Aluminum heelcups are designed with durability in mind and backed by a lifetime warranty. 100% pure aluminum that maintains its true shape under heavy wear and tear, providing durable, lightweight performance.
