I slit the bottom of my Ultras on day 1. I thought mine were a goof, but since the remedy was easy I was not going to go through the bother of exchanging them. Interesting to see it was the same on all of them. I burn through ladders every year, long before the base or heal cup die. The don’t always tear/break; they get worn down and don’t hold as well. So making the binding without the ability to replace parts in such a simple way is just bonkers. The Ultra are the most comfortable Unions I’ve tried. I own Force, Strata, CP, and Atlas. I thought I would be turned off by the lack of high back adjustment, but it never really came into play because i put them on my pow board. The setup is super surfy, mellow, and comfortable.

Great information. I've never owned Union bindings and thought I was set on getting Force (new 2024 version). But now I'm seeing this review and other people say that the Ultra is a great binding. Being an old man now (52) I'm just taking it easy riding with my daughter so I won't be doing anything crazy. I like the idea of the dampening because I broke my tibia on a butt check landing in the park at Snoqualmie back in 2000 and it still bothers me. It sounds as if the Ultra's will help absorb some shock & jolts to my leg/knee.

This might be kind of a nitpicky thing but with some bindings like Burton ESTs on a channel and you get the flex and it allows crap to get under your binding like ice or sand gravel garbage for the parking lot and it's a pain ass. So the idea of a gasket that might prevent all that. I kind of like that

Riding them on a mega merc in a pair of DC Judge boots. They steer amazingly precise when throwing some fast paced carves down on hard packed snow and they keep ugly vibrations away in the vast majority of conditions. They also come with just the right amount of flex in the highback to give you the tweakabelity you’re craving for in your park runs or for whatever shenanigans you’re doing over side hits. Highly recommend.

Like I get its a 'park focused' binding... but like how come you can adjust forward lean or easily replace the toe strap on knock off $50 Walmart bindings, but not Union's flagship new product..?

Hey Angry, looking to branch out since the Vita is going away. They have been my go to for years. I find the cartels to constraining laterally. I did try the contact pro a few years ago but they were to soft, especially in the straps. Are these a good replacement/comparable to vitas? Also, my legs and feet don't seem to like real canting all that much, just tried some nitro phantoms (like elements of the binding) but the canting isn't fantastic. 250lbs, canadian rockies, ride everything depending on conditions, including bigger jumps for here. Any other ideas are welcome as well.

I tried strata’s a few days now but call me crazy they seem to leave me beat up and fatigued, I thought the big cushy footbed would take out all the impacts but doesn’t appear so compared to Vitas. I’ve done a half day so far on bent metal transfers and I liked those so far, didn’t seems to send shock into my knees and have a good response where I could ride more relaxed similar to how I remember the Vitas last season. I’ll be doing a full day on them this Sunday but so far seem promising. Is this what people mean when they say it’s more damped like your review of new force?

Vice or ultra for 70% all mountain 30% park/ side hits?

I don't know how this would compare with the Vice as I have not ridden them, but I would think it depends on what your "all-mountain" means. I ride a mix of laying out carves and buttery riding, both switch and regular for my AM, but my friend's AM is going as straight as possible as fast as possible 😂

Why don’t these have canting? is it because canting is less desirable for freestyle riding? Did you notice any negatives from no canting?

Not sure why they don’t do the double heel cup screw like on the Atlas & Force. My Strata heel cup would slide out from time to time. If you have to loctite a single screw to keep your heel cup in place then that seems like a design flaw to me

There is a small plastic washer on the screw for the heelcup to prevent it from coming loose - an old Union problem that was solved with this plastic piece. If this plastic washer is mounted incorrectly, however, the screw always loosens and with it the heelcup.

I've heard the way to go is slapping these on the Mercury which seems counterintuitive but I'm gonna try it next season.

How would you compare the shock absorbtion and dampening and the stiffness of the baseplate in the ultra to the strata? Would you recommend putting strata or falcor highbacks on these to give them more highback adjustment and a bit more drive, or would you say it will have a negative effect?
