Has anyone tried out the union forged carbon bindings? thinking of getting myself a pair if I can find them without breaking the bank!
Looks like a interesting concept, but havnt heard much about performance.

^ Hmmm, interesting.

I think maybe look at the NOW drives too… the highbacks are carbon fibre.

Maybe not quite the forged carbon.. but I guess kinda similar in terms of lightness with responsiveness.

You mean the O-Drives, they are the one with carbon in them.

I rode the O-Drives and they were really nice. Super responsive and comfortable.

I haven’t tried the Union forged carbon, natharry, but I tested the 2016 Union Force and I was stoked with them. They definitely make very good bindings.
