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 Touring Brackets: Incorporates the best
features of aluminum and thermoplastics.
Spark R&D overmolds their custom plastic blend over
and through the holes in the aluminum base,
forming bushings that are incredibly durable.
Snap Ramps: Bindings slide sideways into offset touring
brackets and are locked into place with our
snap ramps.
ST Whammy Bars: A single fatty wire with a side arm lever.
Overmolded thermoplastic sections allow you
to switch easily from stowed, to low (12°), to
high (18°) climbing positions and back again
while touring. Includes an overmolded sleeve of plastic on both sides of the bar, right where the climbing wire contacts
the baseplate. This reduces friction allowing for super smooth movement into and out of high, low,
and stowed positions.
ST Whammy Bar Climbing Wire: Built right into the baseplate. Overmolded plastic
where the bar contacts the baseplate allows for
super-smooth climbing wire deployment and
transitions.
T1 Heel Rest: Catches the climbing wire in the
12° and 18° positions.
Baseplate:
Surge ST Pro Baseplate: Solid baseplate for maximum stiffness and durability.
Multi-Hole Pro Heel Loop: A new design focused on the art of the turn. The new three hole heel loop option allows for fine-tuned highback rotation, providing extra response, stability, and control to each turn.
Snow Camo Baseplate & Highback Padding: Built with a pre-installed 6mm snow camo baseplate padding kit to optimize warmth, comfort, and cushion. Paired with 3mm of padding on the highback to enhance the binding contour for a perfect boot fit.
Straps:
Arc ST Pro Pillow Line Straps: Provides the agility and weight savings for long ascents and painting the perfect line.
Buckles:
Premium Materials & Custom Hardware: Custom made hardware allows
splitboard specific features to be added like hex heads for
less strippage and hollow pivot pins for weight
savings. The heel loop screws got the best
makeover of all with a custom screw head with
double the drive depth and an unthreaded
shoulder to improve connection to the heel loop.
Highback:
Surge Carbon Reinforced Nylon Highbacks: More responsive, lighter, and stiffer than our
standard glass reinforced highbacks. Injection
molding allows for more complex geometry and
improved impact strength compared to other
methods of carbon fiber construction
Compatibility:
Requires Pucks for Mounting in Ride Mode: Spark Canted Pucks or Regular Pucks recommended (available to purchase separately)
Ibex Crampons sold separately
Additional Features:
Special Edition Hardware & Graphics: Finished with anodized, custom 7075 aluminum pro screws, and hand drawn Nick Russell graphics to give you that extra style with every turn.
