Get this early release model before everyone else. 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. Highback Probably 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. Baseplate The Stage 8 Duraflex baseplate is the lightest base in its price range, in the entire industry. The Duraflex material is exceedingly robust, while the nylon saved makes them incredibly light. The thermoformed EVA bushings offer excellent cushioning, even in cold temperatures. Straps The 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.
