Designed as a collaboration between Now and Yes snowboards, the Now x Yes is a must-have binding for all-terrain riders looking for the perfect balance of freeride control and response with freestyle mobility and feel. Built around the flagship Skatetech Hanger 3.0 baseplate, the Now x Yes delivers unrivalled energy directly to the board's edges via the innovative kingpin design. This unmatched energy transfer delivers a lightning-fast response and gives the binding a freeride performance on par with the stiffest freeride bindings. However, unlike the stiff freeride bindings, the Now x Yes still feels playful underfoot. So match that playful feeling with the Freestyle Highback, which allows unrestricted lateral movement, and you get a binding that feels equally at home in the park or hitting booters in the backcountry.

NOW X YES 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.
Hyperfuse II Strap:
The HYPERFUSE II strap is an evolution and a design refinement over our original HYPERFUSE strap. Inspired by shoe construction, the HYPERFUSE II is a stitchless, spineless strap. Its inner guts are constructed with nylon webbing that is strong, durable and flexible, and sandwiched between two layers of EVA. The end product is a comfortable and lightweight binding strap that can handle the elements and the test of time.
Freestyle Highback:
- Symmetrical shape • Minimal top curve for extra mobility • Hidden flex hinge at the top 1/3
- Dampens chatter and eliminates calf bite • Flex rating: 6
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.
PA66GF Buckles
PA66-GF buckles are made with the same high-grade Nylon and Glass Fiber blend found in our Now’s
and disc. This material is light and strong.
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.
