FALCOR
Travis Rice Pro Model
The next generation of the Falcor sets a new standard in snowboard binding design and introduces the future of sustainable materials at Union. This high-performance freeride/freestyle binding is specifically engineered for Travis Rice’s aggressive riding style and is built to take on the steepest lines and most demanding terrain.
The Falcor features substantial heel-to-toe flex for lightning-fast response and precise turn initiation. The torsional flex is intentionally reduced with the use of a mini disk, allowing the board to flex naturally under the bindings—adding a freestyle feel without sacrificing responsiveness, exactly what Travis needs.
Eco-Conscious Materials – Duraflex Blue
Union joins the eco movement with the use of Duraflex Blue, a new sustainable material featured in the Falcor.
90% of this material is derived from sustainable sources—bio-waste, renewable energy, and recycled content. It fully retains its performance in cold temperatures and reduces CO₂ emissions by over 60% compared to traditional materials.
