Freestyle Rating: Freestyle bindings are designed for riders looking for the ultimate freedom, comfort and that “loose truck” feel. These bindings are generally best suited for riding park or riders looking for a more soft and surfy board feel.
All Mountain Rating: All Mountain bindings are generally mid-flexing and built to handle all terrain and all riding styles.
Performance Rating: Performance bindings are stiffer, provide instant edge-to-edge response, and the most stable board connection possible. Performance bindings are generally best suited for high speed carving or ridding steep technical terrain.

Binding Flex
Union Bindings come in a variety of flex ratings. The baseplate, highback, straps, bushing and disk all have different stiffnesses to help give a specific ride feel and function. Softer flexing bindings are generally used for more surfy or freestyle riding, while stiffer bindings are generally used for more hard charging and responsive freeriding.

Suggested Board to Binding Flex
Boards and bindings come in a variety of stiffnesses for different types of riding. Every rider
has their own preference on how a board and binding should interact. Below is Union's suggestion
of board to binding flex.
STEP ON® bindings are ONLY compatible with STEP ON® boots. Do not use either product with non-STEP ON® boots or non-STEP ON® bindings. Consult the size chart to ensure that you have the correct size binding for your boot size. Pairing incompatible size boots with bindings may lead to malfunction and could compromise your safety. Women’s and Men’s sizing are based on different size standards. Combining men’s and women’s STEP ON® products will result in malfunction and could compromise your safety.
