Extremely lightweight. The Flite Pro represents Union's philosophy that there is no such thing as an 'entry-level' binding. The Stage 8 Duraflex baseplate combined with the Falcor-inspired highback make for the lightest binding on the market. A great freestyle binding for beginners and advanced riders.HighbackProbably the lightest highback design ever. The Stage 12 Flite Pro Highback with soft to medium flex is great for freestyle riding in any terrain and offers a surfy feel. The angle of the highback (forward lean) can be adjusted without tools. /BaseplateThe Stage 8 Duraflex baseplate is the lightest base in its price range, in the entire industry. It is very robust thanks to the special Duraflex material and very light thanks to the nylon saved during production. The thermoformed EVA bushings offer excellent cushioning, even in cold temperatures.StrapsThe Forma ankle straps fit perfectly to the outside of your boots, are incredibly durable and light as a feather. The TS 4.0 Toe Strap keeps your boots bombproof and secure in the binding without you even noticing it's there.
