For the 2025 (24/25) 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. The 2026 (2025-2026) model is essentially the same as the 24/25 model, just with an updated tool-less strap adjuster.
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 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 Freestyle 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 Freestyle 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 at what we consider the job of the freestyle binding to be. You can see how freestyle bindings are weighted in the score breakdown, found near the end of this review.

Who are the Falcor Most Suited To?
The Falcor are best suited to riders who are looking for a bit more power from their bindings vs a mid-flex binding, but still want a decent amount of forgiveness. Even better suited if you really value good board feel and shock absorption.
Not for beginners - too stiff for that. Solid to high-end intermediates should be fine with it, but probably too stiff for most lower end intermediates.
Best matched to boards in the 5/10 to 8/10 flex range and even better for the 6/10 to 7/10 flex range, IMO.
