PowderHull + Camber – The 3D PowderHull starts with a base profile combining two distinct rocker lines that when blended together create a pronounced base concave in the nose and tail. At the nose, the concave draws air under the board - just as a concave spoon-nose does on long boards in the surf - causing list and flotation. As the snow moves across the base, it releases off the tail and the exaggerated rocker line along the center, causing the tail to drop downward.

Flex Rating – 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Directional Weird – This is all about surface area displacement to create float and stability. The shorter length and bigger surface area provides a tighter radius that facilitates tight forest powder runs.

Radial Radius – When basics are good. A radial edge is the classic snowboard, where you have the radius that draws a single circle. It’s the most basic way to turn, it will allow you to carve but you are limited in the variations of turns you can make.

Weightless Core – The Weightless Core strikes a critical balance between light weight and strength. Using a lower density species of Poplar in areas that are not as structured and Paulownia in the areas that are, Yes. was able to shave precious weight. This helps the board not only float, but "feel" floaty.

Triaxal Glass

PH Sintered True – rue Sintered is harder and more expensive than extruded and it can be faster for those that ride aggressively fast. But to do that, it needs to be waxed and prepared for local conditions. This “Sintered PH Spec” material is specifically chosen for unique flex qualities necessary for the PowderHull’s complex 3D surfacing.

2 x 4 Inserts

Flex Rating – 6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

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 is Nylon with 30% Glass Fiber – I-Beam wall sections are both rigid and light. Baseless design allows for uninterpreted board flex. Transfers energy to the board’s edges

Canted 2.0 Footpillow

Post – Nylon with 50% Carbon Fiber

Freestyle Highback – Symmetrical geometry, minimal top curve for extra mobility, hidden flex hinge at the top 1/3, and Top Flair, which dampens chatter and eliminates calf-bite

Flex Rating – 6

Asym S-Sense Strap – The minimalist approach of the ASYM S-SENSE strap is everything you want in a strap and nothing you don’t. Thanks to the very light single-piece-injected construction, it contours every type of boot without inducing any pressure points, and it has just the right flex.

3D Contour Toe Strap – If you just can’t get enough grip, then the 3D Contour Toe Strap is what will make the cut. This strap is not only super grippy but also moldable, and can be used on either the tip or top of your boot.

NOW Tool-less Adjuster Straps

Ankle 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.

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.

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.

Combo Mounting Disc 4x4 - Channel – Mounting disc is Nylon reinforced. 4x4 and Channel compatibility. Minimal board fixture. Light and strong

Bushings – Available in Medium (45 Shore)
