Tour Mode:
Dual Ride Stride: Saving energy in the backcountry can be
the difference between going for a second
lap, going for a longer tour, or going home
because you’re wiped out. All Karakoram
splitboard bindings come standard with Dual
Ride-Stride forward lean. With a -8° forward
lean setting, Stride Mode allows you to stride
and glide further with every step.
Dual Ride modes allow you to effortlessly
switch between railing carves and surfing
turns. Drive Mode consists of a preset useradjustable forward lean (0°-22°), and surf
mode can be activated without unstrapping
(11° or 0°). Simply turn and go. Dual RideStride is the fastest and easiest forward lean
adjustment available.
Smooth Touring Pivot: Independent sleeves rotate freely on a fixed thru-axle, similar to a bike axle, making these stiff and smooth. They're wide for touring rigidity, they shed snow well, and the quick-releasing bracket allows for simple transitions.
Heel Lock: On-the-fly heel lock down
Release load equivalent to DIN 6
Heel-Lock folds out of way when not needed
Dual Speed Riser with Heel Lock Pole Basket Flip: Flip up/down with pole basket on the fly.
Retractable Heel-Lock included.
Ride Mode:
Active Joining: No slop with instant response. Pre-loaded contact points create an ultra solid connection between your bindings and splitboard.
Interlocking Seam Tabs: No separation: tabs interlock across the seam of your board, interlocking and pre-loading the two halves for a solid ride.
Snow Ejection Channels: Made from a carbon infused nylon, the Ride Mode 2.0 is designed to reduce snow build up and clear snow easily.
Baseplate:
Asymmetric Heelcup: The high outside sidewall provides the best power transfer to your edges while touring. The dropped inside sidewall allows you the freedom of movement to tuck your knee in a turn or tweak a grab.
7075-T6 Open Chassis: CNC’d completely from 7000 series space grade aluminum, the open chassis allows your bindings to twist naturally with your board. Say no to dead spots under your feet.
Flex (1 Soft - 10 Stiff): 7
Straps:
Wayfinder Straps: Independent Pressure Pods articulate to boot eliminating pressure points and pinch points. Made from P-Lite TPE, 30% lighter than standard TPU
Buckles:
Carbon Buckles: Made from recycled carbon fiber tow, these buckles are not just strong and light they use carbon fiber that is destine for landfills.
Highback:
C4 Carbon Highback: Reducing weight while adding a little stiffness to a trusty Reactive Highback contour. Made from Karakoram’s proprietary Carbon Nyolite.
Flex (1 Soft - 10 Stiff): 8
Compatibility:
Compatible with Standard Splitboard Inserts
Compatible with Karakoram PRIME Quiver-Connectors
Additional Features:
Women Specific Fit: The women’s binding line includes four models with women’s specific sizing- lower highbacks, short binding length and narrower toe box, smaller ankle straps and smaller toe straps. They fit small feet and have the same ripping features as the men's line.
Ti and Al Hardware: No expense spared. All screws have been upgraded to custom anodized 7075-T6 aluminum or Grade 5 Titanium. All pins are hollow core Grade 5 Titanium.
Direct Power Transfer: Wide binding contact = power transfer directly
to edges & tip to tail.
