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 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.
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.
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.
T1 Heel Rest: Catches the climbing wire in the
12° and 18° positions.
Snap Ramps: Bindings slide sideways into offset touring
brackets and are locked into place with our
snap ramps.
Baseplate:
CNC Machined Baseplates: Solid for maximum stiffness and durability.
Straps:
Pillow Line Straps: Lightweight, durable,
comfortable, waterproof, one-piece molded
construction, and made 100% in-house. Surge
ST ankle straps are wide and asymmetrical
around the boot for incredible all-around
support.
Buckles:
Ladders & Straps: Produced with unique thermoplastics that maintain flex
over a wide temperature range
Bomber Buckles: These incorporate Burton's time-tested bomber buckles.
Highback:
Surge ST Asym Rip "N" Flip Highbacks: These have
a high amount of glass fiber fill for a stiff ride and
maximum response. They feature individual left
and right highbacks for natural ergonomics with
a flattened top section giving riders great lateral
mobility.
