Spark R&D Surge Pro

The Pro version focuses on weight reduction by utilizing premium materials like carbon-reinforced nylon highbacks and full Pebax plastics. It is designed specifically for riders who want to shave grams for long tours without sacrificing the stiffness and power transfer of the original Surge.

Yes, the Surge Pro uses the Tesla T1 system, which is the industry standard for splitboard bindings. It mounts directly to any splitboard equipped with standard T1 pucks or Spark R&D pucks.

While they are stiffer than standard nylon, they are engineered to provide responsive power transfer for demanding descents. If you prefer a more surfy, forgiving feel, you might find them aggressive, but they are excellent for technical terrain and steep lines.

The Surge Pro weighs in at 1211g per pair. This is a noticeable reduction compared to standard splitboard bindings, making a significant difference in leg fatigue during long ascents.

Yes, the Pebax plastic construction is specifically chosen for its durability and consistent performance across a wide range of temperatures. They remain flexible and secure even in extreme cold, preventing the cracking or stiffness often found in cheaper strap materials.

The T1 system is designed for efficiency and simplicity. The snap ramps and heel loops are intuitive and easy to operate, even when wearing thick winter gloves or mittens.
