When you're preparing to drop in on an narrow, icey, 48° backcountry chute that opens up into a gloriously deep, untouched bowl, you'll be thankful to have the state of the art Burton Hitchhiker Splitboard Bindings. Designed in conjunction with the splitboarding godfathers at Spark R&D, the Hitchhiker Splitboard Bindings were built to climb every bit as well as they descend. The new Tesla T1 baseplate simplifies things with a single wire ramp adjustment that offers both 12° and 18° climb heights. When the time comes to descend, the Hitchhiker's Double Take Buckles cinch up quickly, giving you first dibs for dropping in. For top-level riders looking to explore further into the backcountry, hitch a ride on the Burton Hitchhiker Splitboard Bindings -- you won't be disappointed. *See compatibility info below.*
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™ – 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.
True OTT Hi-Back Padding – Wrapping the upper portion of the hi-back with padding eliminates pesky pressure points.
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
Quick-Adjust FLAD™ – Burton's tool-free forward lean adjustment.
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 interface hardware from Voile USA, sold separately.
Crampon Compatability – The new Tesla T1 baseplate is only compatible with the Burton Crampon and Spark Ibex Crampon.
