Skate Tech

The NOW Skate Tech system works like a skateboard truck and enhances board control + reduces foot fatigue by transferring energy input directly from the binding to the board edges through a dynamic design.

• Hanger 2.0 and 3.0: Hanger pivots on the Kingpin like a lever allowing lightning fast edge-to-edge energy transfer. True baseless design that delivers the most even board flex of any binding on the market.
• Kingpin:The Kingpin is the fulcrum that the Hanger pivots on. Design magnifies energy transfer and enhances board response through leverage.
• Post: The Post attaches the hanger to the kingpin and is the connection between binding and board.
• Bushings: Bushings are the primary binding contact point and offer customizable response and dampening (Surf Mode and Free ride Mode).

Unmatched turn power

Power is transmitted directly to the edge : When you make a hard heel or toe turn the force you place on your straps and high back is transferred directly to your edge through the hanger, kingpin and post. By using the mechanical advantage of this pivot and lever system Skate Tech binding are the most responsive bindings in the world. Once on edge, you are locked in.

No comparison to traditional bindings

Power is transmitted through the center disk : When you make a hard heel or toe turn on traditional bindings the pressure you place on your straps goes into the fixed center disk and forces the binding baseplate to bend before power is delivered to the edges. Energy is concentrated at the center of the board with traditional rigid baseplates which decreases potential turn power compared to Skate Tech bindings.

Dynamic Flex highback

Designed for playful response and flex. Mid-wide profile and friendly, ergonomic flex helps you turn, tweak and slash.

• Asym high back with small lateral side wing for added toe side turn power
• Stiffer middle spine for solid turn performance
• Thinner, flexible side edges to eliminate calf bite
• Tool-less forward lean adjustment

Free ride mode VS Surf mode

Our bindings offer customizable dampening and response by switching between Surf Mode and Free ride Mode. Surf Mode lets you tweak harder, while Free ride Mode keeps you locked in for maximum response. Switch modes by changing the bushings from soft (Surf Mode) to hard (Free ride Mode) and adjusting the Flip-It ankle straps. The Flip-It strap allows you to interchange the ankle straps between the left and right binding to create custom response.

• Free ride mode: Position the wide half of the strap above the buckle for more lateral support and board response. Use Hard Bushings for maximum board response.
• Surf mode: Position the wide half of the strap below the buckle for solid heel support but more ankle flexibility for getting loose. Use Soft Bushings for a looser, more dynamic surf feel.
