A Union Exclusive Material
Strength-2-Weight
Forged
Carbon
Our forging process makes it possible to form complex shapes into a single piece. Compared to traditional laminated carbon, Forged Carbon fibers are self-oriented, producing a finished product lighter and stronger than titanium.

Behind the Tech
Forged Carbon is a technology developed specifically for engineering complex three-dimensional geometries that need to resist stresses of variable type, direction, and magnitude.
When we started this project, I was shocked by the intensity of the loads to which professional riders like Travis and Gigi subject these bindings.
Forged technology provides the best solution in terms of weight, stiffness and strength.”
