PERFORMANCE
The binding is equipped with a durable and light Hanger 2.0 baseplate. This baseplate is a whopping 30% glass fiber. The higher the percentage of glass fiber, the higher the stiffness of the binding.
The FM highback is a minimalist design which allows for maximum rotation and freedom. It’s lightweight and pre-rotated 10 degrees. This gives the binding a very loose and comfortable feel that invites for playful and creative riding.

COMFORT
The Asym SIEVA strap is short for Single-Injected EVA which means that the entire strap is made out one solid piece of injected EVA. It eliminates seems and glue and makes the strap lighter, more durable and comfortable.
The 3D Contour toe straps are guaranteed to give a good snug fit around the nose of any boot, the 3D shape keeps the toe strap from sliding of.

USE
Inspired by how easily and efficiently a skateboard turns; major components of NOW's system mimic both the function and description of skateboard trucks. The ‘Hanger’ powerfully transfers energy input from the straps to the bushings and onto the edges of your board. The Kingpin acts as a fulcrum, magnifying this energy through leverage. Traditional bindings diminish energy transfer by the flexing and bending of their baseplate, forcing you to crank your straps down harder, ride with more forward lean, or run taller and stiffer highbacks. This all leads to more foot fatigue and pain. NOW bindings bypass the middle of the snowboard and direct your energy right onto the board’s edges. They simply transfer more power to the board with less work, meaning your feet will stay more relaxed and comfortable, longer.
This NOW binding comes with a set of 4x4 discs. This disc can be mounted on all snowboards apart from channel boards. In order to mount the binding onto the channel channel a Now Channel disc is required. You can order this disc separately at Snowcountry.
NOW their PA66-GF buckles are made with the same highgrade Nylon and Glass Fiber blend found in their post and disc. This material is light and strong.
