Lib is offering the Orca split in three pow-ready sizes but only one speed: very very fast. Divide and conquer with this, the gnarliest splitboard in all the land.

Lightweight, durable, and simple to use out in the field, the Spark R&D Arc Splitboard Bindings hit all the right notes for bomber backcountry performance. Their proven Tesla T1 platform uses an integrated snap toe ramp to positively lock into touring brackets and over any splitboard pucks, making for speedy, straightforward transitions, even with gloves on. Aluminum baseplates are CNC machined with cutouts that minimize weight without compromising strength, and allow for convenient puck adjustment. In ride mode the Rip ‘N’ Flip Highbacks are medium flexing for a smooth, surfy feel, perfect for the rider headed for pow. Give yourself a head start on fresh tracks with the Spark R&D Arc 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 fatty climbing wire is built into the baseplate with a side arm lever for easy position changes on the steeps. You can switch easily from stowed, to low (12°), to high (18°) and back again while touring.
T1 Heel Rest – The T1 Heel Rest catches the climbing wire in the 12° and 18° positions and is specifically designed to hold the T1 Step Locker in place.
Snap to Ride – T1 bindings slide across pucks utilizing the snap ramp to lock into place for a tight ride down.
CNC Machined Aluminum – CNC machined baseplates with maximum cutouts to shave weight yet maintain strength and performance. Cutouts also conveniently allow for puck adjustment with bindings in place for precise stance adjustment.
Pillow Line Straps – Pillow Line Straps are ultra durable, comfortable, waterproof, one-piece molded construction, and made 100% in-house. Strap pillows are thin and flexible for a comfortable, conformed fit, while thicker ribs are held off the boot and provide stiffness for a uniquely responsive ride.
Burton Buckles – All straps incorporate Burton's bomber buckles. Ladders and adjusters are produced in-house with unique thermoplastics that maintain flex over a wide temperature range, performing well on spring tours as well as sub-zero suffer fests.
Rip ‘N’ Flip Highbacks – The Rip ‘N’ Flip highback is made from proprietary blended materials for strength, durability and light weight. All Rip ‘N’ Flip highbacks incorporate a tool-free forward lean adjuster (FLAD) for complete customization from 0° to 22° in ride mode. The FLAD 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.
In The Box – Bindings, Tesla touring brackets, T1 heel rests, aluminum mounting screws, and Spark pocket tool.
