The Spark R&D Arc Pro Splitboard Bindings are the lightest of the light. Based off the already ultra-light Arc, they feature the same CNC'd baseplate with maximum cutouts, Tesla T1 interface, and surfy ride. Spark used lighter materials and custom hardware for the Pro model, shaving weight with carbon highbacks, aluminum screws, and different plastics in the straps. The result is a ridiculously lightweight splitboard binding that still has the juice to withstand the rigors of backcountry travel. Every step you take, you're taking your gear with you, and grams add up over a climb, a tour, and a season. Give yourself a head start on fresh tracks with the ludicrously lightweight Spark R&D Arc Pro Splitboard Bindings.
Tesla T1 System – Tesla T1 bindings slide sideways into the offset touring brackets and are locked into place with the snap ramp. No pins, no cables, no fiddle factor.
Whammy Bar Climbing Wire – A single built-in fatty climbing wire with a side arm lever. You can switch easily from stowed, to low (12°), to high (18°) climbing positions and back again while touring, thanks to the T1 Heel Rest.
Snap to Ride – T1 bindings slide across pucks utilizing the snap ramp to lock into place for a tight ride down.
CNC Machined Aluminum with Maximum Cutouts – The Arc Pro splitboard binding is extremely lightweight for long tours, epic overnighters, trees, and steeps. The baseplate is CNC machined with maximum cutouts to shave weight yet maintain strength and performance while incorporating Spark's industry-leading Tesla T1 binding anatomy.
Pebax® Pillow Line Straps – Pro Pillow Line Straps are made with Pebax® plastics, a premium material most often found in high-end ski boots as it provides consistent stiffness and improved toughness in cold temperatures while being 20% lighter. Ultradurable, comfortable, waterproof, one-piece molded construction, and produced 100% in-house. Arc Pro ankle straps have a smaller footprint than the Surge Pro and feature a flex window for max agility while maintaining support.
Buckles & Pebax® Plastics – Ladders and adjusters are produced in-house with Pebax® premium thermoplastics which maintain flex over a wide temperature range, performing well on spring tours as well as sub-zero suffer fests. It's also 20% lighter than Spark's standard material. All straps incorporate Burton's time-tested bomber buckles.
Carbon Reinforced Highbacks – The Arc Pro Rip ‘N’ Flip highback is made from carbon reinforced nylon in a ratio designed for medium flex and a surfy feel. This material blend is more responsive, lighter, and stiffer than our standard glass reinforced highbacks. All Rip ‘N’ Flip highbacks incorporate a tool free forward lean adjuster (FLAD) for complete customization from 0° to 22° in ride mode. The Forward Lean Adjuster toggles easily between forward lean position and -13° touring position for easy transitions.
Puck Compatibility – Slide them on and snap the ramp down. Snap the ramp up and slide them off. The most functional way to attach your binding to your board in ride mode, period. Spark R&D bindings are designed to work with all puck compatible splitboard models.
Compatible with Spark R&D Ibex and Ibex Pro Crampons
Compatible with Spark R&D T1 Heel Locker
Pro Hardware – Weight savings add up by replacing stainless steel hardware with custom-made 7075-T6 aluminum hardware. Aluminum parts are 65% lighter than standard stainless steel parts and are made with hex drives instead of phillips heads which are less likely to strip.
