2026 Union Ultra Mens Arthur Longo Snowboard Binding

2026 Union Ultra (Arthur Longo Edition) | Pure Freestyle Response Meets Unmatched Suspension

Strap into the 2026 Union Ultra and experience the same fluid, high-flying style that defines Arthur Longo's riding. This isn't just a binding — it's a high-performance suspension system for your snowboard that turns every side-hit and park lap into a buttery smooth masterpiece. Designed to load and unload energy with every movement, the Ultra offers a spring-loaded feel that redefines what it means to be connected to your board.

Key Technical Features

• Stage 11 ASYM Duraflex ST Baseplate: By stripping away excess material in the toe and heel, Union has unlocked incredible torsional flex. This allows your board to flex naturally underfoot for better board feel and a more "surfy" ride.
• Molecular Bushings: Think of these as the shocks on a trophy truck. They provide spring-loaded take-offs and pillow-soft landings, while being 15% lighter than standard vaporlite to save your knees and ankles on long days.
• S15 Ultra Duraflex ST Highback: Featuring 6 degrees of pre-set forward lean, this highback provides instant edge-to-edge response while maintaining the lateral flex you need to poke out those grabs.
• Hybrid 1.0 Ankle Strap: Combining the support of an Exoframe with the plush comfort of a Forma interior, this strap locks you in without the bulk or pressure points, ensuring a seamless connection.
• Magnesium S1 Ratchets: Born from a process unique to Union, these buckles are four times stronger than aluminium at half the weight — bombproof, light, and environmentally friendly.
• Minidisk Compatibility: Designed for 2x4 and Channel systems, the small footprint of the disk allows for even more natural board flex and a truer feel of your deck's profile.

Why You'll Love It

The Union Ultra is the ultimate weapon for the freestyle-minded rider who demands a medium-flex feel without sacrificing an ounce of performance. It perfectly balances a damp, cushioned ride with the lightning-fast response required for technical carving and massive airs. If you want the tech that powers Arthur Longo's "Aeronaut" style with the most advanced vibration dampening on the market, this is your binding.
