Now Brigade 2023

The 2023 Now Brigade offers all mountain response with a flair of freestyle freedom in this mid flexing binding with Now’s infamous Skate Tech chassis. The combination of a mid flexing highback, asym straps, and Skate Tech quickly and effectively transfers energy from your feet directly to your board so you get next level response without skipping a beat. There is no better feeling than that complete connection with your board from the bottom up and with the Brigade and Skate Tech you can finally feel that connection yourself.

Binding Type: All Mountain Freestyle

Flex (1 – Soft / 10 – Stiff): 6 / 10

Board Compatibility: This binding is compatible with 2×4, 4×4, and channel mounting systems.

Base Plate: Skate Tech w/ Hanger 2.0

One of the greatest recent binding inventions, Skate Tech connects your baseplate disc to a hanger which pivots. This allows better response as you pull up evenly on all 4 screws equally rather than just two. The energy is then driven through the legs of the baseplate and out to the edge of the board.

The 2022 Now Brigade hanger is nylon reinforced with 30% fibreglass, combined with a 50% glass filled nylon post and 50% glass filled disc.

High Back: FM Highback

The FM Highback features a minimalistic design with added medial and lateral kerfs for increased torsional flex. This highback is pre-rotated 10 degress for better comfort and control, and has a higher medial side for a better anatomical fit. The heelcup sits up much higher than normal bindings so you can ride these with or without highbacks.

Buckles: PA66-GF Buckles

These new buckles are now made with the same light and strong nylon and glass fiber blends that are found in NOW posts and discs.

Straps: ASYM SIEVA Straps + 3-D Contour Toe Straps

SIEVA stands for Single Injected EVA, which means this strap is made entirely with one-part EVA injection, eliminating all issues arising from stitching and gluing the strap together and enhancing durability and comfort while reducing weight.

Cushioning: Medium Bushings

The Brigade comes with medium density bushings that sit under the 4 binding contact points in your toe and heel. These diffuse board chatter, maintain board to binding contact, and dampen your overall ride. Now Bushings snap out for easily customisable dampening and response.

Additional Features:

• Flushcup compatibility
• Highcup compatibility
• Hinge connector
• Pre-curved ladders
• Tool-less adjusters

Warranty: Lifetime warranty on hanger, post, and kingpin. 1 year limited warranty on all other parts.
