Why We Like The Spark R & D 22/23 Arc ST Pro Bindings:
The Arc ST Pro Splitboard Binding is the epitome of lightweight performance, designed specifically for avid backcountry enthusiasts who prioritize speed and agility. Built by Spark R & D, a trusted name in splitboarding gear, this binding is perfect for gram-counters looking to venture deep into uncharted territory.
This remarkable binding offers a similar performance to Spark's original Arc Binding but with a weight reduction that will make your skinning experience effortless. By utilizing state-of-the-art engineering techniques, Spark R & D has succeeded in making this binding thinner and lighter, enhancing your overall touring capabilities.
One key innovation is the introduction of carbon reinforcement in the Rip 'N' Flip highback. This ingenious addition not only maintains moderate stiffness but also significantly reduces unnecessary weight. You'll experience optimal performance without any compromises.
But the engineering prowess doesn't stop there. Spark R & D has implemented their "ST" (Smooth Touring) technology throughout the binding, which minimizes friction in critical connection points. Furthermore, they've incorporated a groundbreaking overmolding process that enhances performance and durability to a whole new level.
