Stage V Baseplate – Backed with a Lifetime Warranty, the Stage V Duraflex Base is designed for riders looking for stripped down performance that won't break the bank.

Multidensity OTE Thermoformed EVA Bushing – Continuing the Union bushing philosophy, "Over the Edge" bushings wrap around the outside of the base for extra padding.

Universal Disks – Compatible with 4x4, 4x2 and Channel systems.

Symmetric ST Highback – The ST represents Union's philosophy that there is no such thing as "entry level" and that all of their products are "everything level." Durable, strong, comfortable and ready to ride highback for all riders.

Bone-Out Straps – Light as a feather and super comfy, Bone Out straps feature a 3D Symmetric design that eliminates foot pain across the top of the foot. They hold you in, but don't hold you back.

Injected Aluminum Buckles – Union's Aluminum Buckles are the perfect combination of function and reliability. Strengthened with springs and a long lasting ratchet mechanism for easy, fast ratcheting power.

Extruded 3D Aluminum Heelcup – Made of extremely durable extruded aluminium, designed to minimize toe drag while optimizing heel hold.

Canted Gas Pedals – Ideal for riders using a wide stance, Canted Gas Pedals supply extra leverage for ollie power. Canting also allows the ankle and knee joints to be aligned, alleviating pain.

Grade 8.8 Hardware – The most commonly used hardware is made from "mild steel" that has a property class of only 4.6. Considering how much stress a binding is under, Union uses only the strongest steel on ALL hardware.

Tool-Free Adjustments – No screwdrivers needed - Flip the levers for a quick and easy on-hill adjustment.

Union offers a lifetime warranty on baseplates and heelcups. If you break, or even crack your baseplate or heelcup during riding, they'll replace it for life. Guaranteed. All other parts are covered for 1 year from date of purchase.
