What’s The Best Union Force Binding?

Comparing the new Union Force snowboard binding to the Classic Force on snow. Will the updated be replacing the old, or are they still both great choices.

I've been waiting for a side-by-side review. Thank you for this.

For me, the "magic" of the force classic IS the highback. I run Stratas, Force, and Atlas - but all have Force highbacks (sold in pairs for around $70). The only Union binding in my quiver that I don't swap the highback is the Ultra.

I'm glad the Force "Pro" went the way of the Dodo. The toe straps on the "Pros" SUCKED (yes, I'm yelling 😆). The ratchet mounting screws were tiny and threaded into the paper-thin metal. I broke one on day one, and the other on day 3. Looks like they are back to the old style 👍(that worked just fine, and continues to hold up to any punishment I can deal out).

Hey snowboarding, this is a reviewer who rips. Can we please send him more product to review, thanks.

Just wore my 2024 Force bindings for the first time. Loved the ankle strap. Really didn't like the toe strap at first, but it did get a bit better as the day went on. Second ride on them tomorrow. Gonna decide if they're keepers or not. :)

Steezy lines brodi! The new forces have waaaay better aesthetics too. Super clean.

I'm rockin the now yes select pro Kowalchuk collab from last year.

One question, if you had to choose for all around and only one binding to choose from as your go to from Union which would it be? I’m thinking of getting the atlas and or the force for my mega Merc and SDOA

great review, i personally ride with Burton freestyle (my third pair) i like the surfy feeling of mid-soft but i understand many rider want more support, and when we think support two names comes immediately 😁😁, union force and Cartel. Union make very good bindings for sure 👍👍👍.

My back leg is always on fire while riding. It gets sore after only a few runs. Front leg and foot are fine. Is there something I can do to my setup to help this?

How do you know when it's time to replace/upgrade your bindings? I've had my Union Force for over 5 years now and aside from a ankle strap replacement, it still feels great. I'm just worried that it might suddenly break on me someday in the middle of riding hard given its age.

Hi,
I'm an intermediate driver. I'm excited about carving. I would like to know which bindings you recommend considering that I am an intermediate driver. I drive a Nidecker Escape Plus wide. I'm deciding between Force and Atlas. Or something else? What do you say? Otherwise, you have great tips and equipment tests in your videos.

Lots of good snowboards out there, but for bindings it’s Union, Burton, or bust for me 🔥

[maximelatourelle]

Great video and sick riding man ! Just got the new Force paired with an also new Gnu Finest. Just set it up. Can't wait to go shred!

Force 2024 - Great binding, but there seems to be an issue with the ankle strap connector as its slipping out of the plastic rail below the ratchet and getting loose. Very annoying. Anyone else with this problem?

[Toksuri]

Yo did you try the supermatics? I'm deciding between those and one of Unions bindings like force or atlas. I want to carve and do tricks on indoor survival

[MidWestJigga]

The new force is the one for myself love them road then about 5 times already and I’m a big fan

[marcossabah]

Im us 7.5 boots, which size is better for me, small or large, i have the union medium for 5 years, i want change for other union, which one do you recommend? I want to ride in sidehits, powder, and carving

[JD_Z]

Do you think new force will pair with the new Megadeath or Atlass pro ?

[milanjakab]

Hey! I cannot decide between the atlas and the updated force. I am currently riding the strata with my DoA, but I will move towards to the new Mercury once it will be released. What would you suggest? Riding style: all mountain, bit of everything.

Any difference feel, stiffness, or performance between the standard high back and the team high back on the new forces? Thank-You
