Spark R&D Arc

The Arc is designed to be lighter and more flexible, making it ideal for long tours and riders who prefer a surfy, playful feel. The Surge, by comparison, is stiffer and more supportive, better suited for aggressive riders who need maximum power transfer on steep, technical lines.

The Tesla T1 system is a specialized mounting interface that allows you to transition between climbing and riding modes without using pins. You simply slide the binding onto the touring bracket or pucks and snap the toe ramp down to lock it in place, which is much faster and more reliable in cold, snowy conditions.

The Arc is compatible with any splitboard that uses the standard Spark R&D or Voilé puck mounting system. As long as your board is set up for T1-style bindings, you will have no issues with compatibility.

While the medium flex is fantastic for maneuverability and comfort on long approaches, it is still plenty capable on steep, icy terrain. However, if you spend most of your time riding high-consequence lines or hard-charging terrain, you might find the stiffer Surge binding offers more security.

Yes, the Rip 'N' Flip highback features a tool-free forward lean adjuster. You can quickly toggle between your touring and riding settings, with an adjustment range of 0° to 22°, right on the trail.

Yes, the Pillow Line straps are designed to be lightweight and durable while minimizing pressure points. They conform well to most boots and provide a secure, comfortable hold that won't fatigue your feet during long days in the backcountry.
