Spark R&D Surge Bindings

The Surge is built for aggressive riders who prioritize stiffness and support. While the Arc is designed to be lighter and more flexible for long-distance touring, the Surge uses a stiffer highback and baseplate construction to provide better power transfer on technical, big-mountain lines.

The Surge bindings use the Tesla T1 system, which is compatible with any splitboard that features the standard Spark R&D or Voilé puck mounting pattern. If you are using a board with a different mounting interface, you may need an adapter.

Yes, the Rip 'N' Flip highback features tool-less forward lean adjustment. You can easily switch between your touring and riding modes, or fine-tune your forward lean angle on the fly while out in the backcountry.

These straps are molded from a single piece of durable, waterproof thermoplastic. Because they don't absorb water, they won't freeze or get heavy during long days in variable weather, and they maintain their shape and comfort throughout the season.

Yes, the Whammy Bar is specifically designed to be manipulated easily with the basket of your pole. You can quickly flip the wire into different height positions without needing to take off your gloves or stop your momentum.

The Surge is engineered for advanced to expert riders who need high-performance stiffness for technical terrain. If you are just starting out, you might find the Surge's rigid response less forgiving than a softer, more entry-level binding.
