The Union Source Pro is a high-end binding that perfectly embodies the technical expertise of the Union brand, renowned for its high-performance and durable products. Featuring a 3D extruded aluminum heelcup and a standard double-strap entry system, it offers a perfect balance between power and comfort for demanding riders.
The Source Pro is designed for versatile, freeride-oriented riding. It delivers excellent responsiveness and remarkable precision while being a bit less aggressive than its big sister, the Source FC. Its slightly less radical highback and wider ankle straps ensure an optimal connection with the board while maintaining outstanding control in powerful turns and fast descents. This binding provides a direct and precise feel, perfect for fully unlocking the terrain’s potential.
Direct Connect Mounting System
Union’s all-new Direct Connect System is just that — a direct connection between you and your snowboard. By fully removing the disk from the baseplate, Union has been able to drastically improve the reaction speed between the rider and the snowboard, increase baseplate strength, and simultaneously reduce the overall weight of the binding. Disks are a thing of the past. This all-new mounting system only relies on two screws and two washers to get the job done.
Two Layer Baseplate Construction
A traditional snowboard baseplate is made of a single layer with the same material and stiffness throughout. Union exclusive Two-Layer baseplate construction allows us to have two individual layers: the Core [1] and the Frame [2]. Each layer has the possibility of using a unique material and stiffness to achieve the desired ride feel of the binding.
Duraflex CB Halo Baseplate Frame
The Duraflex CB Halo Baseplate Frame is lightest baseplate Union has ever created, while still maintaining the mandatory strength-to-weight ratios needed to pass Union’s strict durability tests. The frame also plays the critical role of connecting the baseplate core, bottom bushing, heelcup, ankle and toe straps together. Made with partially sustainable carbon injected Duraflex CB Nylon.
Forged Carbon DCS Baseplate Core
he all-new Forged Carbon DCS Baseplate Core is stiff, responsive, and ultra-lightweight. Through extensive rounds of R&D the Union Lab was able to reduce the baseplate height by 10% getting you as close to the topsheet as possible. This baseplate layer allows for the fastest possible transfer of energy from the rider to the snowboard that Union has ever achieved. Made possible by Union exclusive Forged Carbon.
Hi-Flex EVA Bushing
More durable and more cushioned than traditional thermoformed EVA. Hi-Flex EVA bushings act as an additional layer of dampening and shock absorption between you and your snowboard and never lose shape over time. Your knees and feet will thank you. This all-new reduced volume bushing design allows the rider to be as close to the topsheet as possible.
S18 Source Forged Carbon Highback
The S18 Source Forged Carbon highback is 40% lighter than our standard nylon highbacks and extremely responsive edge-to-edge. Made in Italy using Union exclusive Forged Carbon.
3D Aluminum Heelcup
Designed for optimal heel hold and reduced drag, Union’s 3D Aluminum Heelcups are lightweight and built to stand the test of time. Backed by a lifetime warranty.
Hybrid 2.0 Ankle Strap
The Hybrid 2.0 ankle strap features a unique V-cut design that flexes naturally with your boot, allowing for powerful forward lean without pressure points. Engineered for light-weight perfor- mance and built to last, it delivers the perfect balance of support and comfort. Trusted by the Union team, the Hybrid 2.0 has quickly earned its place as a go-to favorite on everything from park laps to backcountry lines.
TS 6.0 Toe Strap
TS 6.0 toe straps keep you locked in for the ride down without letting you know they're there. A new, shorter buckle base helps to reduce weight and pressure points. Easily adjust to any boot with the quick turn of a lightweight titanium screw. This is the lightest toe strap on the market.
