i’d prefer wide over narrow. i tried some nitro zero’s a few years back, and they were too narrow and tall along the instep.

In the '26 Union catalog it says they're updating the Strata bushing. Wonder if they're doing anything with the dimensions, a material change, or both.

A Japanese vid said something about the new bushing being more like the contact pro. Can't tell you what that means though (and catalog doesn't provide much info).

The Contact Pro was suuuuper soft, so maybe that's it. Hope they don't go overboard with it, I like its current balance of response/cushioning/dampening.Dave T wrote: Tue Mar 18, 2025 9:29 am A Japanese vid said something about the new bushing being more like the contact pro.

Edit: turned on translated subtitles for this one and they emphasize how soft it is now:
This one shows a direct comparison between the '25 and '26. Looks like it's a lot softer:

The experiment has become reality.
Holding on to my Sparks still though for the foreseeable future, just in case;

looks nice. I am curious how those feel with their quiver disc. I must be in that tiny subset of riders that likes to travel with one pair of bindings.

Guessing they went from internal plastic skeleton in the foam to more a full foam build?eleveneightnate wrote: Tue Mar 18, 2025 10:16 amThe Contact Pro was suuuuper soft, so maybe that's it.
