Men's Orion Snowboard Bindings
Description
SURF-INSPIRED FREERIDE COMFORT
The Orion is a comfortable, surf-inspired freeride binding for riders who'd rather carve and play than charge. Its SkateTech baseplate pivots on a kingpin and bushings, much like a skateboard truck, giving a skatey, flowing feel through turns while driving energy to the edges. A progressive-flex highback and cushioned straps keep it forgiving from first chair to last run.

SkateTech
The NOW Skate Tech system works like a skateboard truck and enhances board control + reduces foot fatigue by transferring energy input directly from the binding to the board edges through a dynamic design.
1. Hanger 2.0 & 3.0
Hanger pivots on the kingpin like a lever, allowing lightning fast edge-to-edge energy transfer. True baseless design that delivers the most even board flex of any binding on the market.
2. Kingpin
The kingpin is the fulcrum that the hanger pivots on. Design magnifies energy transfer and enhances board response through leverage,
3. Post
The post attaches the hanger to the kingpin and is the connection between binding and board.
4. Bushings
Bushings are the primary binding contact point and offer customizable response and dampening (Surf mode vs Freeride mode).
Riding flat
Skate Tech bindings feature a built-in dampening system for ultimate control bombing flat on your base. The baseplate rests on rubber bushings that absorb vibrations as you ride over rough snow. The binding also follows your every foot movement without altering the flex of the board and offers unmatched board feel for making micro edge adjustments as you ride flat.
Unmatched turn power
Power is transmitted directly to the edge. When you make a hard heel or toe turn the force you place on your straps and highback is transferred directly to your edge through the hanger, kingpin and post. By using the mechanical advantage of this pivot and lever system, Skate Tech bindings are the most responsive bindings in the world. Once on edge, you are locked in.
No comparison to traditional bindings
Power is transmitted through the center disk. When you make a hard heel or toe turn on traditional bindings the pressure you place on your straps goes into the fixed center disk and forces the binding baseplate to bend before power is delivered to the edges. Energy is concentrated at the center of the board with traditional rigid baseplates which decreases potential turn power compared to Skate Tech bindings
