Explorer Unisex Splitboard Binding 2027

Built for backcountry lines and sidecountry laps, the Union Explorer delivers natural board feel and flex for the best ride down — without the floppy compromise of older splitboard setups. The S2 EXP Duraflex ST baseplate and EXP2 Duraflex highback ride like a regular binding; the Split Flad 2.0 lets you switch from hike mode to ride mode in seconds. With ExoFrame 4.0 straps, Magnesium 3.0 ratchets, and Union's proven touring interface, the Explorer is built for fast transitions, long tours, and confident descents.

S2 EXP Duraflex ST Baseplate — Rides Like a Regular Binding
Natural board feel and flex for the best ride down — the S2 EXP Duraflex ST baseplate delivers the same responsive feel Union's regular bindings are known for, in a splitboard-specific chassis. No floppy compromise on the descent.
EXP2 Duraflex Highback — Tour-Friendly Response
The perfect balance of flex and response for all types of riding — the EXP2 Duraflex highback supports aggressive descents while remaining tour-friendly on the skin track. Backcountry versatility for charging lines and lapping sidecountry.
Split Flad 2.0 — Fast Hike-to-Ride Mode Switching
Easily switch from hike mode to ride mode in seconds. Adjust forward lean for skinning, then lock into ride-mode lean for the descent. Quick, tool-assisted transition without removing the binding — critical for fast, repeated laps.
Exoframe 4.0 Ankle Strap — Lightweight + Locked-In
ExoFrame ankle straps are lightweight, super durable, and provide a locked-in ride feel. The Exoframe 4.0 delivers Union's proven hold without the bulk of older strap designs — comfort and security on every descent.
Magnesium 3.0 Ratchets w/ Aluminum Base
Fast in, fast out — Union magnesium ratchets are four times the strength of aluminum with only half the weight. The Magnesium 3.0 ratchets with aluminum base deliver tour-friendly weight savings without sacrificing ladder-action reliability on the descent.
HP EVA Bushing & Non-Stick Footbed
Shock-absorbing HP EVA bushings dampen vibration, reduce impact, and promote a smooth, consistent board flex — on both the skin track and the descent. Non-Stick HP EVA footbed prevents snow and ice buildup under boots during multi-day tours and cold conditions.
Extruded 3D Aluminum Heelcup — Lifetime Warranty
Designed for optimum heel hold and minimization of drag — and the core of every Union binding. Backed by Union's lifetime warranty, even on a splitboard binding built for backcountry abuse.
EXO Quick-Lock Tool-Less Strap Adjustment
No tools needed for adjustment. Simply flip open the tool-less adjuster, unscrew and adjust. Faster strap length changes between tours — dial in your fit once, then leave it.

Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. A splitboard bag protects the finish and the Split Flad mechanism from getting banged up in transit — especially important for multi-day hut trips and heli operations.
Strap Care
Wipe the Exoframe 4.0 ankle strap and TS 2.0 UltraGrip toe strap with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt, salt, and grime after each tour. Touring produces more salt and skin wax exposure than resort riding — clean more often.
Split Flad 2.0 Mechanism
Keep the Split Flad 2.0 mechanism free of ice, snow, and debris. A quick rinse with warm water after a tour and a dry with a microfiber towel prevents the lock from freezing up. Lubricate the Split Flad mechanism with a small amount of silicone spray once a season.
Mounting Hardware
Check all mounting hardware before each season. The Grade 8.8 steel hardware can be re-torqued, but replace any corroded parts before your next tour. The Voile-Standard puck pattern is compatible with all major splitboard puck systems on the market.
Ratchet Maintenance
Keep the Magnesium 3.0 ratchet springs free of ice and salt buildup in winter — a quick blast with compressed air or a wipe with a dry cloth prevents ratchet fail mid-descent. Lubricate the ratchet pawl with a dry PTFE lube once a season.
