Technology
SKATETECH
Power is driven to the edges.
Skatetech is forever changing how we think and talk about binding technology. It is truly that revolutionary; the more you ride with Skatetech, the more you realize that everything you knew before about binding technology is completely obsolete. It’s that much of a game changer. The connection you experience once you’re strapped in and take a few big turns is like no other, and that’s the moment when you know that this is it… this is what snowboarding was meant to be—epic.
JF Pelchat, Now Skatetech Inventor
Inspired by how easily and efficiently a skateboard turns, major components of our system mimic both the function and description of the skateboard trucks. The “hanger” powerfully transfers energy input from the straps to the bushings and onto the edges of your board. The kingpin acts as the fulcrum, magnifying this energy through leverage.
Where traditional bindings diminish energy transfer by the flexing and bending of its baseplate, forcing you to crank your straps down harder, ride with more forward lean, or run taller and stiffer highbacks. This all leads to more foot fatigue and pain. Yes bindings bypass the middle of the snowboard and direct your energy right onto the board’s edges. They simply transfer more power to the board with less work, meaning your feet will stay more relaxed and comfortable, longer.
HANGER 2.0 with 30% glass fiber
Hanger pivots on the Kingpin like a lever allowing lightning fast edge-to-edge energy transfer. True baseless design that delivers the most even board flex of any binding on the market.
Soft (40 shore)
The unique bushing system from YES allows you to customize your bindings by changing your bushing densities depending on your style of riding, snow conditions, or rider preference—there's something for everyone. The system features dual-injection and a quick-snap connection to the hanger.
- Main contact point to board
- True dampening system
- Applies energy while diffusing board chatter
- Available in soft, medium, and hard
Soft Density Bushings (40 Shore) Explore the ease of riding with our soft density bushings. Designed for a surf-style response, these bushings allow for a more forgiving ride, making them ideal for riders who prefer a gentler, more flexible interaction with their board. Perfect for smooth, easy rides, these bushings help in reducing fatigue by absorbing more vibrations, making them suitable for leisurely snow days and beginner riders looking to build confidence.
