Combining responsive and dynamic performance with class-leading levels of fit and comfort, the Drive is the perfect binding for experienced all-terrain riders and fast freeriders. Utilising Now's advanced Skatetech, the Drive delivers a quick and agile response that takes minimal effort to get the maximum from, meaning that you can ride hard and fast without having to ride aggressively. However, if you want a more mellow day on the hill, don't worry. The Drive's state-of-the-art Hybrid straps feature Now's Flip-It technology. Flip-It lets you flip the straps between each binding and fit softer bushes. This quick and easy change transforms the Drive into a surfier binding that gives you a more relaxed ride. But the Drive isn't just about performance; it's also about comfort. Thanks to the Hybrid Flip-It straps, Pro-Grip toe straps and padded foot-pillow, it's also one of the most comfortable bindings you can strap into.

NOW DRIVE TECHNOLOGY
Skate Tech:
Traditional bindings diminish energy transfer by the flexing and bending their baseplate, forcing you to crank your straps down harder, ride with more forward lean, or run taller and stiffer highbacks; this leads to more foot fatigue and pain. NOW bindings bypass the middle of the snowboard and direct your energy straight to the board's edges. They do this by mounting the baseplate via their exclusive Kingpin design. Taking its inspiration from skateboard trucks, this kingpin acts as a fulcrum, transferring power directly to both the board's toe and heel side edges. The increased efficiency means you ride with less effort and don't need to crank your straps so tight, so you get increased performance and can also ride for longer.
Hanger 3.0:
The Hanger 3.0 binding hanger design features a broader bushing footprint closer to the edges for enhanced board connection and faster energy transfer. The Hanger 3.0 is lighter and has a lower inner lateral wall for better ankle mobility and a high-volume boot fit. The Drive's Hanger 3.0 is manufactured from a blend of Nylon with 30% glass fibre. This construction gives the perfect balance of rigidity and feel.
Flipit Strap Hybrid Strap:
This HYBRID FLIPIT strap construction is made up of a combination of our original Hyperfuse strap and FLIPIT straps. An additional reinforcement layer is applied to the bottom of the EVA cover, giving you support, durability and comfort. The HYBRID FLIPIT strap can also be used like our regular FLIPIT straps—simply switch out your ankle straps to the other foot and change your support setting.
Calfback Highback:
Higher medial side follows leg angles Calfback Technology • Pre-rotated 10 degrees • 20 mm higher than Freewing highback • Lateral hook for added support • Dampens chatter and eliminates calf-bite • Flex rating: 7
3D Pro Grip Toestrap
Non-slip and solid grip is what you get with Now's NEW 3D Pro-Grip Toe Strap. It is not only super grippy but also moldable and can be used on the tip or toe of your boot.
PA66C Buckles
The PA66-C buckles are made with the same high-grade composite Carbon Fiber blend found in the
O-DRIVE hanger. This extremely light and strong material reduces the overall buckle weight by 20%.
Hinge Connector
The Hinge Connector design allows the straps to move out of the way when stepping in and out.
It is strong and durable and helps reduce strap damage and wear.
