Deep Dive
Why We Like The Spark R&D Arc ST Splitboard Binding
The Spark R&D Arc ST Splitboard Binding is a perfect combination of lightweight performance and exceptional value. This binding is designed to excel both on the uphill climbs and the thrilling downhill rides, making it a top choice among splitboarders.
What sets this binding apart is its Rip 'N' Flip highback. It offers a moderate level of stiffness, giving you the freedom to surf, tweak, and freestyle in the backcountry. The baseplate is crafted from a single piece of CNC-machined aluminum that has been cleverly hollowed out, resulting in a lighter feel and enhanced flexibility that seamlessly matches your board's natural flex.
But Spark didn't stop there. They've taken it up a notch by incorporating their innovative "ST" (Smooth Touring) technology. This advanced feature minimizes friction, ensuring a smooth and effortless touring experience. Additionally, Spark has used a cutting-edge overmolding process that significantly improves the binding's performance and durability.
