Spark R&D Surge ST Pro Splitboard Binding

The lightest and highest performing splitboard bindings in the world - made with incredible attention to detail and no compromises.

Surge ST Pro Splitboard Bindings feature all the same great assets as standard Surge ST Bindings - ST Tech, T1 Binding System, Tesla Snap Ramps, solid baseplates, stiff Asym Highbacks, responsive Pillow Line Straps - but they are tuned up with premium materials and custom components.

*In the Box: Splitboad bindings, ST Brackets, T1 Heel Rests, aluminum mounting screws, and Spark Pocket Tool.

**Please note that pucks do not come with bindings and must be purchased separately.

Smooth Touring (ST)

Several binding components were modified by overmolding. A special thermoplastic compound, which has ideal freeze and abrasion resistant properties, is injection moulded onto aluminium or steel parts. This delivers an even smoother feel when climbing by reducing the friction between the components. This also extends their service life and they carry the new Smooth Touring - ST designation.

Specifications

• Baseplate - CNC machined baseplate is solid for high stiffness and response. The sides of the baseplate have been partially filled to increase durability and strength.
• Custom Hardware - Stainless hardware is replaced with custom designed 7075-T6 aluminum material that is 65% lighter
• Asym Rip 'N' Flip Highbacks - Surge ST Pro Asym Rip ‘N’ Flip Highback is made from carbon-reinforced nylon in a ratio designed for a stiff ride and maximum response. The bindings feature individual left and right highbacks for improved ergonomics, comfort, and control. The upper section of the highback is flatter giving riders excellent lateral mobility. All Rip ‘N’ Flip Highbacks incorporate a tool-free forward lean adjuster (FLAD) that easily toggles between tour and ride mode.
• ST Whammy Bars - The ST Whammy Bar Climbing Wire is built right into the baseplate. Overmolded plastic where the bar contacts the baseplate allows for super-smooth climbing wire position changes in the steeps. You can switch easily from stowed, to low (12°), to high (18°), and back again while touring.
• ST Touring Brackets - ST Touring Brackets incorporate the best features of aluminum and thermoplastics. They overmold our custom plastic blend over and through the holes in the aluminum base, forming bushings that last four times longer than their previous brass version.
• Tesla Snap Ramp - T1 System bindings slide sideways into the offset Tesla touring bracket and lock into place with snap ramp. No pins, no cables, no fiddle factor. Integrated Ibex crampon mounting claws on touring brackets make for easy installation and removal. Pivot pins have been hollowed out and are 33% lighter than standard pins.
• 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. Spark R&D bindings are designed to work with all puck-compatible splitboards.
• Pillow Line Straps – Surge ST Pro Pillow Line Straps are made with premium Pebax® plastics. They are 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. Toe straps are designed to be used as a toe cap, but also fit nicely as a traditional strap across the top of the boot.
• Toe Straps – Designed to fasten both over the toe and over the instep
• T1 Heel Rest - Captures the rising heel support in 12° and 18° positions and is specifically designed to hold the T1 Step Locker in place
• Buckles & 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.
