This site is becoming the new Zuzu. So many good catalogs before you can find them anywhere else.
686 looking good. NOW looking real nice, a few new highbacks and strap combos. 32 should maybe focus less on 100s of colorways and more on making their boots fit well, last longer, and have smaller footprints.

Weird line changes for NOW. Their line was always kind of confusing with multiple Hanger versions, now they're kind of doubling down on that within the line lol.
3 variations of the Drive (standard, Pro, and CX), all with different highbacks. Standard Drive went back from H3 to H2, upper two are H3. They FINALLY updated the straps for the Drive and Drive Pro, but the CX still has that terrible rock hard strap (which actually makes sense for a mega stiff carbon highback binding).
No more Pilot, replaced with two versions of the Select, Pro and Standard. Pro has tool-less and is H3, standard is H2?
Just really weird to have different "versions" of the same binding that have different baseplate dimensions (and different highbacks for the Drive)
That said, will take a look at the Drive Pro when i can. With a new proper strap, I might go back to the Drive from Jones Mercury. Only reason I ditched my 2019 Drives was better sizing for me in H3, and only reason I didn't just get new Drives was because I didn't want to replace my straps again.
From the Arbor catalog, no specs that I could find. Maybe eventually this will be a Nitro Quiver subline, but feels like a lot of hype for what basically amounts to one pro model...

IPO essentially becomes the Pilot. Next years version has the high back used on the Pilot this year and not the highback used previously on the IPO.

I kinda feel like they could ditch H1 and H2 altogether, so just offer H3 and simplify the line to 5-6 models with different highback, strap, and bushing combos to determine response. I don't think anyone is sitting around like "aww man, I really hope they never get rid of H2!"

anybody have any ideas for how much that new capita aeronaut is gonna cost?
Haven't gotten a clear answer on this yet, but my guess would be $650-ish. Same price point as the Kazu.
ah gahdamn, well gotta see when they come to stores.
would prefer paying only approx 500€ per board max cause otherwise when i ride i wont be doing half the stuff i want to do because it might become too expensive.

I'm sitting around like "I really hope they never get rid of H3!" but I'm a pretty low-incidence nerd lmao. But yea, I'm surprised they don't just simplify the line. I'm sure it'd make their manufacturing easier and cheaper, and eliminate an esoteric point of confusion.
