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 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.
Snap Ramps: Bindings slide sideways into offset touring
brackets and are locked into place with our
snap ramps.
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.
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.
T1 Heel Rest: Catches the climbing wire in the
12° and 18° positions.
Baseplate:
CNC Machined Baseplates: Solid for maximum stiffness and durability.
Straps:
Surge Pebax Pillow Line Straps: Pebax is a premium material most often found
in high-end ski boots as it provides consistent
stiffness and improved toughness in cold
temperatures. It’s also 20% lighter than our
standard material.
Buckles:
Premium Materials & Custom Hardware: Custom made hardware allows
splitboard specific features to be added like hex heads for
less strippage and hollow pivot pins for weight
savings. The heel loop screws got the best
makeover of all with a custom screw head with
double the drive depth and an unthreaded
shoulder to improve connection to the heel loop.
7075 Aluminum Heel Loops: Thinner and lighter than the standard heel loop while maintaining the required strength.
Highback:
Surge Carbon Reinforced Nylon Highbacks: More responsive, lighter, and stiffer than our
standard glass reinforced highbacks. Injection
molding allows for more complex geometry and
improved impact strength compared to other
methods of carbon fiber construction
