Karakoram Prime1 Split Snowboard Binding

Between dealing with the annoying pin systems, frozen fingers, bulky feel, and sub optimal riding experience, it can be hard to get motivated to go touring when you have a traditional split setup with regular snowboard bindings. Karakoram's Prime1 Split Snowboard Binding changes all that with its easy and quick interface, lightweight feel, and superior riding performance. After trying it, you might just skip the season pass. More efficient than pin style split bindings, the Prime Interface uses Karakoram's quick release touring bracket found on the original Split 30 interface. This quick release touring bracket and Power Link activation lever allow for quick and easy transitions from touring to riding without taking your foot out of the binding. Total changeover time is roughly two minutes, and that includes taking off your skins and storing everything in your pack. Best of all, the Prime Interface has no moving parts, so you never have to worry about losing parts in the snow. Softer than Karakoram's carbon infused offerings, the Prime1 Split Binding has an Airflow highback that's cored out for a bit more lateral flex, as well as an ultralight feel. However, it's still plenty responsive when you're carving at high speeds and slashing through deep powder. This highback features Ride Stride forward lean that quickly toggles between Ride and Walk Modes with a 14 turn of the forward lean adjuster. In Walk mode, the 8 degree forward lean elongates your stride to conserve energy on the long uphill skin. Ride mode delivers 0 to 22 degrees of forward lean in two degree increments for quick turning response. Offering a completely solid feel underfoot, this binding uses a Solid Ride four point attachment to eliminate unnerving seam slop and board chatter, especially when you're riding at high speeds. Four wide, pre loaded contact points direct energy to the edges for unmatched response on steep, high consequence backcountry lines. Ditching traditional climbing wires...
