The Falcor from Union is Travis Rice's signature binding so naturally it's built to perform at the highest level. The Stage 6 Base is developed using "Microfused Injection" which adds crucial strength around the disk plate. The Falcor's highbacks are made of Forged Carbon and glass injected nylon which adds power but still give you the flexibility to ride how you want. Exoframe/Air ankle straps provide a comfortable fit and the magnesium ratchets are 4x lighter and half the weight of aluminum. Union nailed it with this one.
