STAGE 6 BASE
Duraflex CB Nylon, integrated with super cushioned Vaporlite 3.0 Bushings bring the next generation of Union to the forefront. We have developed a manufacturing process called “Microfused Injection”, which focuses the nylon injection entry point around the disk ring where strength is most crucial, resulting in the lightest/strongest base to date.
FORGED HYBRID HIGHBACKS
By combining Forged Carbon and glass-injected nylon, we’ve created a highback that allows flexibility for medial-lateral rotation while preserving a direct connection for edge to edge control. Power where you need it and the freedom to ride the way you want.
