Product Info
Strap in and complete your pre-flight checklist, the Now Pilot Snowboard Bindings are ready to take flight. Updated with all new Asym S-Sense ankle straps, the Pilots offer a loose, surfy ride courtesy of Now's signature Skate Tech construction. They come with your choice of hard or medium bushings for tight response and big hit absorption, or smooth freestyle cruising to help you tweak and trick your way down the mountain.
Product Details
Flex
Flex Rating – 6 - 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
Combo Disc – 4x4 & Channel compatible
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
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 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.
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.
NOW Tool-less Adjuster Straps
Buckles
PA66-GF Buckle Levers – Made with the same high grade nylon and glass fiber blend found in posts and discs. This material is light and strong.
Additional Features
Skate Tech – Inspired by how easily and efficiently a skateboard turns, Skate Tech mimics the function of skateboard trucks. Traditional bindings diminish energy transfer by flexing and bending the baseplate, forcing you to crank straps down harder, ride with more forward lean, or run taller and stiffer highbacks. Skate Tech bindings bypass the middle of the snowboard and direct your energy right onto the board's edges, transfering more power to the board with less work.
Highcup Compatibility – Compatible with all 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:

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.
