Trüe Camber – Good old standard camber, which provides the stability and pop many shredders can't live without. The amount of snap and support you get from a cambered board is unrivaled.
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Dual Degressive Sidecut – This sidecut blends a smaller radius in the center with two larger radii in the tip and tail, making it loose and playful. Nitro's most forgiving sidecut.
Powerlite Core – The highest grade of ultra-lightweight poplar wood in Nitro's Powerlite core makes for the perfect ride with lots of pop and unmatched strength at a minimum weight.
Reflex Core Profile – A thinner core profile between your feet improves handling and increases torsional flex, allowing you to steer your board through a turn with ease.
FSC Certified Wood
Tri-Lite Laminates – Responsive & balanced. The perfect blend of flex and torsion control, Nitro tuned Tri-Lite Laminates with fibers running in 3 directions to make for quick turning, highly responsive boards.
Diamond Band – Carbon reinforcement fibers are ultra strong yet lightweight. Tip-to-tail stringers transfer rider's input to help you drive your board and stay in control.
Sintered Speed Formula II Base – Rocket science, put to work! A nanotech wax formula deeply infused into the sintered base material makes the base surface lightning fast in all snow conditions. Highly tuned yet extremely durable, Speed Formula II Base technology is exclusively featured on Nitro's high-end boards.
Recycled Steel Edge
Made with 100% Solar Power
Eco-Conscious Cruising – Built with sustainable materials like recycled steel edges & powered by 100% solar energy during manufacturing, you can feel good about shredding on a board that cares about the planet. It's good for the soul and the snow!

Part of getting to those epic BC lines is having a kit that is up to snuff and the Burton Hitchhiker Splitboard Bindings will be a major piece in that puzzle. Boasting a burly, yet lightweight aluminum baseplate designed by Spark R&D for climbing convenience and descending confidence. A dual position, single wire ramp adjuster changes angle on the fly when you climb. Going up is half the fun and when going down, fully adjustable straps will lock down your boots into a high performance, single component highback in a flash. If you're ready to break out of the confines of the resort and want gear you can rely on then give the Burton Hitchhiker Splitboard Bindings a ride.
Spark R&D Tesla T1 Single Wire Baseplate – A single fatty wire built into the baseplate switches easily from stowed, to low (12°), to high (18°) climbing positions and back again while touring. Eliminating the second wire saves weight and fiddle time.
Hammockstrap™ – Reactstrap roots in a stitchless construction for ultra-response with minimal materials. The addition of a nylon cross spine equals a more direct connection with the board.
Flex Slider – Makes the ankle straps move out of the way so you can step into the binding without obstruction. Burton's Flex Slider has a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Supergrip Capstrap™ 2.0 – This minimalist design merges two materials into one technologically advanced toe strap. A firmer material in the spine provides a supportive and lightweight skeleton, while a softer over-molded material improves boot wrap and comfort.
Double Take Buckles w/ Insta-Click – Be the first to drop in with the rapid ratcheting of Burton's Double Take Buckles. Helical teeth and "Insta-Click" engagement combine for increased torque per crank, faster uptake, and fewer cranks to tightness. The result: vastly improved strength, speed, and ease-of-use.
Quick-Adjust FLAD™ – Burton's tool-free forward lean adjustment.
Burton-Designed Single-Component Negative Lean Hi-Back – The simplicity of a one-piece hi-back means immediate response. Through material blends we then manipulate the overall flex profile—from buttery to responsive.
True OTT Hi-Back Padding – Wrapping the upper portion of the hi-back with padding eliminates pesky pressure points.
Mounts directly to 2015 and newer Burton splitboards without any additional hardware needed.
To mount the Hitchhiker Binding to any other splitboard, you must purchase additional hardware, such as Spark R&D Spark Pucks, or pucks from Voile USA. Sold separately.
Crampon Compatability – The new Tesla T1 baseplate is only compatible with the Burton Crampon and Spark Ibex Crampon.
Medium-Stiff Flex – Helps with quick, technical maneuvers, even at high speeds. Great for all-mountain carving, powerful freeriding and charging through the terrain park.
Features Re-Ground Materials to Reduce Waste
The new Spark R&D Spark Pucks give you almost unlimited stance options for splitboards with standard insert patterns. The oversized aluminum discs overlap the binding channels for enhanced rigidity and mount strength. Works with all Tesla and T1 Spark bindings, as well as Blaze and Burner models.

Ever Dry 3.0 DWR – PFC-Free
Ready2climb – The ready2climb skin can be cut to a specific ski in just two minutes without any special tools. The adjustable loop can be fixed to any type of ski.
Grip – Pomoca uses a combination of materials and weaving techniques to combine glide and durability with gripping power. Proper alignment and the fiber attachment systems make Pomoca skins very stable under all conditions and for the life span of the skin.
Glide – This exclusive process gives ski tourers extra glide with less effort. This treatment, applied at the end of the production process and to to entire length of the fiber, makes the skin glide and resist moisture more effectively. Skins with Glide offer an effective process for the entire life of the skin, and unique anti-glopping performance.
Safer Skin Light – Pomoca has succeeded in making it's classic Safer Skin membrane lighter. Thanks to finer layers in the membrane, Safer Skin Light is 12% lighter (150g / m² less). Safer Skin Light makes each pair 60 - 75g lighter, while remaining 100% waterproof and providing slightly less wear resistance.
