While developing the Ultra, Gigi Ruf and the engineers at Union had one goal: uncompromised board flex and feel. To create a binding that has these characteristics required reducing the contact points on the base and integrating flexible, dampening EVA. By combining Vaporlite 2.0 with the Minidisk, Union lowered the direct binding to board contact to 5% while maintaining the progressive flex that Gigi loves. New for 18/19 is the application of Non-Stick coating to Union''s EVA dampening systems. Gone are the days of getting ice buildup on your footbeds and highbacks. Coated Vaporlite 2.0 is an extremely durable material that maintains dampening characteristics in cold temperatures and provides a cushioned and natural ride. * Baseplate: Duraflex CB – MD * Bushing: Non-Stick™ Vaporlite 2.0 * Heelcup: Extruded 3D Aluminum * Highback: Forged Carbon * Ankle Straps: Forma Elite * Toe Straps: Hexgrip * Ratchets: Magnesium 3.0 * Flad: Quick Adjust * Ridden by Bryan Iguchi
