Spark R&D Arc ST Splitboard Bindings- Backcountry Snowboarding|Snowboard Bindings

   Improved ST (Smooth Touring) Mode–        Spark injection molds a proprietary thermoplastic over existing aluminum or steel parts in a process called “overmolding,” reducing friction and improving durabillity.

   ST Whammy Bars–        Overmolded plastic blend where the climbing wire meets the baseplate to eliminate stickiness. (Note: not backward compatible with previous Arc, Surge or other older models)

   ST Touring Brackets–        Overmolded with low-friction proprietary plastic over and through the bracket holes in the aluminum base – strong, smoother pivoting, and lasts 4 times longer than the old brass bushing.

   CNC Machined Baseplates–        CNC machined baseplates remain solid for maxstiffness and durability. All of the baseplate sidewindows have been partially filled to increasedurability and strength

   Pillow Line Straps–        Pillow Line Straps are lightweight, durable,comfortable, waterproof, one-piece moldedconstruction, and made 100% in-house. SurgeST ankle straps are wide and asymmetricalaround the boot for incredible all-aroundsupport. Toe straps are designed to be usedas a toe cap, but also fit nicely as a traditionalstrap across the top of the boot.

   Proven Burton Buckles

   Buckles and Plastics–        Ladders and adjusters are produced in-house with unique thermoplastics that maintain flex over a wide temperature range.

   Asym Rip ‘N’ Flip Highbacks–        Asymmetrical design features individual leftand right highbacks that slope inward matchingthe rider’s stance / The upper section is flatter for improved lateral mobility / More material at the base for increasedlongevity and durability / Higher bottom edge won’t snag on bootswith crampon welts or soles that wrap highon the heel

   Flippin’ FLAD toggles between your forward lean angle and -13° touring position for easy transitions.

   Lateral slots for our BD Touring Strap for greater edge control while skinning.

   Made with proprietary custom blended materials for improved strength and durability, while minimizing weight.

   Tool free micro-adjustable from 0° to 22° for complete customization of your forward lean angle

   Puck Compatibility–        Slide them on and snap the ramp down. Snap the ramp up and slide them off. The most functional way to attach your binding to your board in ride mode. Period. Spark R&D bindings are designed to work with all puck compatible splitboard models.
