Product Info
This is your Pilot speaking, thanking you for flying Now Air. Make sure all highbacks are stowed in an upright position and please prepare for takeoff. The Now Pilot Snowboard Bindings are freestyle bindings with a loose surfy feel thanks to Now's signature Skate Tech. They come with your choice of hard or medium bushings for either tighter response and big hit absorption, or mellow cruising to help you smear and stunt your way down the mountain.
Product Details
Flex
Flex Rating – 7 (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 2.0 Nylon Reinforced with 30% Glass Fiber – This baseless design allows for uninterrupted board flex, with rigid I-Beam wall sections that transfer 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 2.0 Highback – Pre-rotated 10 degrees, with a higher medial side to follow your leg angles, a lateral hook for added support, and a flex hinge that dampens chatter and eliminates calf-bite. 15mm Higher than the original Flex Hinge.
Straps
Freestyle Flipit Ankle Straps – Now has added two layers of EVA to this strap. It is cushy, yet supportive, and has traditional stitch-and-turn construction with an injected spine sandwiched between EVA and fabric.
3D Contour Toe Straps – If it's grip you're after, look no further. This strap is not only super grippy, but it is also moldable and can be used either on the tip or top of your boot.
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.
Highcup Compatibility – Compatible with all NOW hangers. Low profile for extra flexibility. Street, park and pow.
Bushings – Available in Medium (45 Shore) and Hard (55 Shore)

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Flex Rating:
Medium
More
Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
