Endorsed by hard chargers everywhere, the Spark R&D Surge ST Splitboard Bindings have undergone sufficient change to warrant an upgrade to “ST” – smooth touring – status. Spark’s own overmolding process puts low-friction, high strength plastic over existing metal components to reduce friction and increase durability pretty much anywhere the binding moves, making touring smoother, easier and quieter. Still the stiffest of the Spark offerings, the Surge ST also has a re-designed Asym highback and overmolded ST Whammy Bars where the bar meets the baseplate. A no-compromise approach to the riding after the approach.

Tour Mode

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.

Baseplate

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

Straps

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.

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

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.
