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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Strata compatible with Channel boards?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — the Mini Disk baseplate supports 4x2 and Channel mounting systems, making it compatible with Burton Channel and most other major board formats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow stiff is the Strata compared to other Union bindings?\u003c\/strong\u003e At 5 out of 10, the Strata sits in soft-to-medium territory within the Union lineup, making it softer and more playful than Union's all-mountain or freeride options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Union","offers":[{"title":"MED \/ BLACK","offer_id":48934128976061,"sku":"UNI-FIX-11020300-2028-WT28-MED-BLACK","price":349.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MED \/ WHITE","offer_id":48934129041597,"sku":"UNI-FIX-11020300-2028-WT28-MED-WHITE","price":349.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LRG \/ WHITE","offer_id":48934129074365,"sku":"UNI-FIX-11020300-2028-WT28-LRG-WHITE","price":349.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2059\/8303\/files\/UN26_STRATA_BLACK_1024x_cf026b5d-ec07-461a-9fe9-14c5b7318af9.jpg?v=1790165772","url":"https:\/\/thinkempire.com\/products\/union-strata-2027-bindings-wt28","provider":"Empire Online Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
