Now Brigada 2021

The 2021 Now Brigada women’s binding is most definitely your new best friend when it comes to a true freestyle binding. With second to none board to binding feel thanks to the Now Skate Tech, linking your turns feel all the more natural and seamless. With a nice mid-flexing highback and upgraded toe straps and buckles, the Brigada can handle whatever is put in its way, from the top of the peak to the XL line in the park, without having to look back.

Binding Type: Freestyle

Flex (1 – Soft / 10 – Stiff): 5 / 10

Board Compatibility: This binding is compatible with 2×4 and 4×4 mounting systems. Channel discs sold separately.

Base Plate: Skate Tech with Hanger 2.0

One of the greatest recent binding inventions, Skate Tech connects your baseplate disc to a hanger that pivots. This allows better response as you pull up evenly on all 4 screws equally rather than just two. The energy is then driven through the legs of the baseplate and out to the edge of the board.

The 2021 Now Brigada hanger is nylon reinforced with 15% fibreglass, combined with a 50% glass-filled nylon post and 50% glass-filled disc.

High Back: Women’s FM Highback

The FM Highback features a minimalistic design with added medial and lateral kerfs for increased torsional flex. This highback is pre-rotated 10 degrees for better comfort and control and has a higher medial side for a better anatomical fit. The heelcup sits up much higher than normal bindings so you can ride these with or without highbacks.

Buckles: Buckles 2.0 w/ PA66-GF Buckle Levers

Now have redesigned their buckles, with stronger levers and upgraded springs for increased durability and premium performance. These new levers are now made with the same light and strong nylon and glass fiber blends that are found in NOW posts and discs.

Straps: ASYM SIEVA Straps + 3D Contour Toe Straps

SIEVA stands for Single Injected EVA, which means this strap is made entirely with one-part EVA injection, eliminating all issues arising from stitching and gluing the strap together and enhancing durability and comfort while reducing weight.

Cushioning: Soft Bushings

The Vetta comes with soft density bushings that sit under the 4 binding contact points in your toe and heel. These diffuse board chatter, maintain board to binding contact, and dampen your overall ride. Now Bushings snap out for easily customisable dampening and response.

Warranty: Lifetime warranty on hanger, post, and kingpin. 1 year limited warranty on all other parts.
