Experience the ultimate in snowboard binding comfort with the 2026 Union Ultra. Its cutting-edge suspension system moves, rebounds, and soaks up shocks seamlessly with every turn. Designed to sync perfectly from baseplate to straps, it provides an unrivaled smooth and cushioned ride. Lightweight yet highly responsive, the Ultra takes your snowboarding to the next level — bold, agile, and effortlessly forgiving.
RESPONSE RATING: Medium 6/10
Stage 11 ASYM Duraflex ST Baseplate:
By removing excess material in the toe and heel of the baseplate, and utilizing a brand new asymmetrical shape, we've been able to drastically increase the torsional flex of the binding. The Ultra's Stage 11 ASYM baseplate allows for 360 degree board flex and feel.
S15 Ultra Duraflex ST Highback:
6 degrees of preloaded forward lean hugs your boot and allows for quick edge to edge response. While the all new molecular highback bushing provides increased freestyle flex and rebound while riding. This unique highback construction is exclusive to Union Binding Company.
Molecular Bushing:
Union's all-new Molecular bushing provides spring-loaded take offs and perfectly cushioned landings. 15% lighter than Union Fused Vaporite and guaranteed to minimize foot, ankle and knee fatigue. This is the future of freestyle binding design.
TPE Outsole:
Exclusive to Union, this 100% new binding manufacturing process requires zero bushing gluing and adds another layer of dampening and vibration canceling material to the all-new Ultra.
Forma X Ankle Straps:
Instant response meets all day long foot comfort. The Forma X ankle strap's all-new construction combines our responsive Exoframe exterior with the padded comfort and flexibility of the Forma interior. Form fits perfectly to any boot on the market today.
TS 5.0 Ultragrip Toe Strap:
Multi-Positional options and thermoplastic anti-slip material keep you locked in and on point. The TS 5.0 Ultragrip toe strap is compatible with all boot brands and models.
