Union Strata 2027 – Bindings

Description

The Union Strata is the go-to binding for men who live for park laps, street-style features, and anything that rewards a surfy, playful approach. With a medium-soft flex rating of 5 out of 10, it's designed to move with your board rather than fight it — ideal for riders who prioritize feel and creativity over stiffness.

Built around an S6 Duraflex ST baseplate with a Mini Disk format (compatible with 4x2 and Channel mounting systems), the Strata pairs an OTE Fused Vaporlite 2.0 bushing system with an extruded 3D aluminum heelcup for a foundation that absorbs impact without going dead underfoot. The S10 Duraflex ST highback keeps response dialed, while the Forma Hybrid ankle strap with Memory Core molds to your boot for a locked-in fit. The TS 2.1 UltraGrip toe strap is multi-positional and works with any boot. Straps adjust via EXO Quick-Lock, and canting is included. Hardware is Grade 8.8 steel throughout. Total weight comes in at 1.84 kg per pair [À CONFIRMER: per pair or per binding]. Union backs the baseplate and heelcup with a lifetime warranty, plus one year on all remaining components.

Who It's For

The Strata is built for freestyle-focused riders — from developing park enthusiasts to experienced all-mountain free-riders — who want a binding that presses, butters, and ollies as naturally as possible. If you ride rails, harvest side hits, or spend time in powder without wanting to sacrifice creativity for control, this is your binding. It's a consistent staff favourite and the choice of pros like Brandon Cocard and Austin Vizz.

FAQ
