Union Falcor Snowboard Bindings Review

For the 2025 model the Union Falcor has had a full redesign. It's taken what was already a sick pair of bindings and somehow made them better.

They are more akin in their personality to the 2021 and earlier models, but with even better board feel and shock absorption. And vs the 2022-2024 models, it has really improved its slow speed response - back to what it was with the 2021 and earlier models. 

I had no issues with the 2022-2024 models, they were still really good bindings, but I preferred the 2019-2021 models. The 2025 model has topped both eras and is the best Falcor yet, IMO. 

You might could ask: why you would mess with an already really good product? Well the 2025 Falcor is the quintessential answer to that question - because you can make it even better!

Perspective of our Falcor bindings testing and review

In this review the Falcor will be assessed as an all-mountain-freeride snowboard bindings. As per tradition here at SnowboardingProfiles.com I will give the Falcor a score out of 100 (based on several factors) and see how they compare with other all-mountain-freeride bindings. 

Each aspect is weighted so that more or less importance is given to particular factors - so that the final score represents how well it does as what we consider to be the job of the all-mountain-freeride binding to be. You can see how all-mountain freeride bindings are weighted in the score breakdown, found near the end of this review.

Board Feel/Butterability

Pop/Ollie Power

Adjustability

Heel Cup: Yes - which is great for getting your heel and toe overhang centered

Stance Width: With the mini-discs can't run the disc vertically - but there's no need to have that, with the adjustable heel cup (you'd typically only run vertically for boot centering). So with the disc running horizontally it gives you some stance width adjustability. However, being a mini-disc it's somewhat limited.  

Highback Lean: Yes, but still not tool-less

Ankle Strap Position: No

Toe Strap Position: Yes

Ankle and toe strap length:  Yes and tool-less

Gas pedal/toe ramp extension: No

Highback Rotation: Yes- and this is new for 2022 model. Previous models didn't have independent highback rotation. There are only 2 slots, but it's better than nothing, if you like to rotate your highbacks. 

Compatible with: 2 x 4 | The Channel (not compatible with 4 x 4, which means doesn't work on "slam back inserts" "float packs" - anything that has an extra set of holes 4cm behind the main insert pack and not compatible with 4 x 4 insert packs, though those are very rare these days).
