Up and coming riders rejoice, the Now NX-Gen Snowboard Bindings are all about stoking out the next generation of rippers. With soft bushings and flexy highbacks to cushion chop and encourage creativity, these all-mountain freestyle bindings are engineered to help younger riders reach for the stars.
Product Details
Flex
Flex Rating – 4 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Baseplate
Flushcup Technology – Designed to hold boots even without a highback, these have a flush inner surface where the highback meets the heelcup. This gives direct energy transfer between boot and binding.
Hanger 1.0 Nylon Reinforced with 15% Fiberglass – I-Beam wall sections are both rigid and light. Baseless design allows for uninterpreted board flex. Transfers energy to the board's edges.
Post – Nylon with 50% Glass Fiber
4x4 Disc – Nylon with 50% Glass Fiber
Channel Compatible – Sold Separately
Highback
Flex Hinge Highback – Pre-rotated 5 degrees laterally, with a higher medial side to follow your leg angles, a wider lateral side for support, and a flex hinge to dampen chatter and eliminate calf-bite.
Straps
SIEVA Ankle Straps – Single Injected EVA, the body of this strap is made with one-part EVA injection, eliminating any stitching and reducing gluing to less than 1% of the strap area. A nylon webbing that is strong, durable, and flexible is inserted in the body of the strap at one end and sealed by a micro-injected logo.
Hinge Connector – A minimalist but strong hinge design allows your straps to move out of the way, with a stop mechanism to prevent them flopping around.
Minimalist Toe Straps – Sometimes what works best is simple and streamlined. This strap features everything you need and nothing you don't.
NOW Tool-less Adjuster Straps
Buckles
PA66-GF Buckle Levers – Made with the same high grade nylon and glass fiber blend found in Now posts and discs. This material is light and strong.
Additional Features
Skate Tech – 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.
