Main Information

Union Explorer

When your splitboard bindings feel just like your regular setup, the descent becomes the best part of the tour. The Union Explorer is designed for beginner to intermediate splitboarders seeking a smooth, responsive ride with minimal fuss on the skin track. Built for durability, simplicity, and natural board feel, the Explorer delivers dependable performance on long tours, steep lines, and everything in between—without overcomplicating the journey.

Included in the box: Mounting hardware, Explorer split disk, Explorer quiver disk, touring brackets, and splitboard strap.

Riding Category
Freestyle Rating: Freestyle bindings are designed for riders looking for the ultimate freedom, comfort and that “loose truck” feel. These bindings are generally best suited for riding park or riders looking for a more soft and surfy board feel.

All Mountain Rating: All Mountain bindings are generally mid-flexing and built to handle all terrain and all riding styles.

Performance Rating: Performance bindings are stiffer, provide instant edge-to-edge response, and the most stable board connection possible. Performance bindings are generally best suited for high speed carving or ridding steep technical terrain.

Freeride Rating: Freeride bindings are built for off-piste exploration, deep powder, and challenging backcountry conditions. They combine support, comfort, and responsiveness, allowing riders to tackle variable snow and steep terrain with confidence.
