Straps and Highbacks

The straps and highbacks are where we’re seeing the real innovation for 2021/22, all have been updated to keep up with Travis’ growing needs as a rider.

The forged carbon spine has been made thicker and more durable, to allow more response to be pushed between you and your highback whilst still keeping the weight to an absolute minimum. It’s material that’s exclusive to Union and exceeds the strength requirements on injected plastic tenfold.

Like the triax glass that sandwiches your snowboards core, the ankle straps on the Falcor’s sit across three planes to ensure they’re reactive in an instant. The toe straps might look basic, but they use the strongest ratchets to date and include a shorter buckle base.

Roundup

Union’s buzzword has always been ‘Stronger’ and true to form they’ve knocked it out of the park again with Mr Rice’s signature binder. You’re not gonna strap in and magically ride like Travis, but rest assured in the knowledge that if you did start riding like him, the Falcor’s could handle it.
