Union Atlas 2025

If you like to ride hard and fast all over the mountain the 2025 Union Atlas binding should be your first choice when looking for a stiff, aggressive binding that can handle anything you throw at it. Newly designed to be lighter and stiffer than ever, you can be sure you get some of the best response underfoot thanks to the upgraded S22 Duraflex Highback, Exoframe 5.0 ankle straps and TS 6.0 toe straps. After using the Atlas you will fully understand why Union team riders like Kazu Kokubo and Kevin Backstrom make it their binding of choice, no matter the time of year or terrain they ride.

Binding Type: All Mountain

Flex: 8/10 (Stiff)

Board Compatibility: Camber Disk + Washer, compatible with all 4×4, 4×2 and Channel insert systems.

Baseplate:

S14 Duraflex CB

Lighter, stiffer, and more responsive than previous highbacks on the Atlas, it combines carbon injected Duraflex Nylon with an all-new integrated forward lean adjuster.

Highback: 

S22 Duraflex CB

The Stage 22 Atlas Duraflex highback is slightly less aggressive than the previous generation of highbacks, giving riders response when they want it and flex where they need it.

Buckles: 

Magnesium S1 w/Steel Base

The steel base S1 ratchet has a fully integrated spring which is protected from the harsh outside elements and provides you with Union’s best ratchet to date. It has a longer life span and better spring return.

Straps: 

Exoframe 5.0 Ankle Strap + TS 6.0 Toe Strap

The Exoframe 5.0 ankle strap utilizes tri-axial progressive flex for the perfect boot to binding fit and provides instant power and response when you’re ready to lay down hard charging, high speed carves. Easily adjust your ankle strap to any boot with the quick snap of the pin adjustment, no tools needed.

Separating the exterior toe strap frame and interior rubber grip allows the rubber grip to form fit perfectly to any boot shape on the market today, while a new more integrated toe connector gives the the binding a more finished overall look.

Cushioning:

Vaporlite HD Bushings

The Vaporlite bushing system sets a new standard for how a snowboard binding should function and perform. These bushings use an injection moulding process (similar to the way plastic parts are created) making them more waterproof, durable, and precise than any other EVA material on the market. This is next level binding tech that absorbs chatter like no other while maintaining the natural flex of your board, and the new High Density version increases stiffness and response while still maintaining the same dampening characteristics.

Additional Features:

Extruded 3D Aluminium Heelcups:

This heelcup increased the stiffness of the binding, increases response, and is adjustable to help you dial in the perfect fit.

Tool-less Forward Lean Adjuster:

Quickly adjust the forward lean without tools on the fly.

Grade 8.8 Hardware:

Union ensure their hardware is reliable by using the strongest steel available on the market.

Tool-less strap adjust:

Whether you’re letting a friend borrow your bindings or you just need to fine tune your fit, you can adjust your straps on the fly without the need for tools.

Canting:

The footbed of this binding is angled to better align your joints and provide a more natural feeling, less fatiguing ride.
