The moderate-flexing Spark R&D Arc ST Splitboard Bindings get a slew of improvements for the new season. The most significant include upgraded hardware almost anwhere that sees friction during the skinning action. Bindings with the “ST” – or “Smooth Touring” – moniker have overmolded components with low-friction plastic over an interior metal structure, making them smoother, quieter and more durable. The Asym Rip ‘N’ Flip highbacks are also re-designed for better fit and functionality, and the pivoting action at the bracket is much improved with ST tech added. If your idea of splitboarding is more surf than huck, check out this well thought-out design before you pull the trigger on a binding system.

Tour Mode
      Â
   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.
      Â
      Â
   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)
      Â
      Â
   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.
      Â
Baseplate
      Â
   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
      Â
Straps
      Â
   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.
      Â
Buckles
      Â
   Proven Burton Buckles
      Â
      Â
   Buckles and Plastics–        Ladders and adjusters are produced in-house with unique thermoplastics that maintain flex over a wide temperature range.
      Â
Highback
      Â
   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
      Â
      Â
   Flippin’ FLAD toggles between your forward lean angle and -13° touring position for easy transitions.
      Â
      Â
   Lateral slots for our BD Touring Strap for greater edge control while skinning.
      Â
      Â
   Made with proprietary custom blended materials for improved strength and durability, while minimizing weight.
      Â
      Â
   Tool free micro-adjustable from 0° to 22° for complete customization of your forward lean angle
      Â
Compatibility
      Â
   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.

-    Ability Level:    Intermediate-Advanced                                    Intermediate-AdvancedWhether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.           Â
