FREESTYLE AND FUNCTIONALITY—NO CO-PILOT REQUIRED
Now Pilot Snowboard Bindings seek to eke out every last bit of air on the mountain. The Now Pilot Features the famous Skate Tech design with hard bushings, helping you pump for speed towards backcountry booters, staying responsive in pow or park. With adjustable straps and solid buckles, these continue the secure yet playful vibe throughout their durable construction, making them perfect for riders who like to go big.
Flex: 6-7/10
Riding Style: Freestyle
Key Features:
Flushcup Technology – Designed to hold boots even without a highback, these have a flush inner surface where the highback meets the heelcup. This gives direct energy transfer between boot and binding.
Hanger 2.0 Nylon Reinforced with 30% Glass Fiber – This baseless design allows for uninterrupted board flex, with rigid I-Beam wall sections that transfer energy to the board's edges.
Post – Nylon with 50% Glass Fiber
Combo Disc – 4x4 & Channel compatible
Flex Hinge 2.0 Highback – Pre-rotated 10 degrees, with a higher medial side to follow your leg angles, a lateral hook for added support, and a flex hinge that dampens chatter and eliminates calf-bite. 15mm Higher than the original Flex Hinge.
Freestyle Flipit Ankle Straps – Now has added two layers of EVA to this strap. It is cushy, yet supportive, and has traditional stitch-and-turn construction with an injected spine sandwiched between EVA and fabric.
3D Contour Toe Straps – If it's grip you're after, look no further. This strap is not only super grippy, but it is also moldable and can be used either on the tip or top of your boot.
Hinge Connector – A minimalist but strong hinge design allows your straps to move out of the way, with a stop mechanism to prevent them flopping around.
NOW Tool-less Adjuster Straps
PA66-GF Buckle Levers – Made with the same high grade nylon and glass fiber blend found in Now posts and discs. This material is light and strong.
Skate Tech - The Hanger powerfully transfers energy input from the straps to the bushings and onto the edges of your board. The Kingpin acts as a fulcrum, magnifying this energy through leverage. Traditional bindings diminish energy transfer by the flexing and bending of their baseplate, forcing you to crank your straps down harder, ride with more forward lean, or run taller and stiffer highbacks
