Karakoram Prime-X Splitboard Bindings

The Prime-X is built specifically for weight-conscious backcountry riders who don't want to compromise on stiffness. By using CNC-machined 7000 series aluminum and carbon-injected components, it significantly reduces the overall weight of your setup compared to traditional bindings, making long ascents feel much less fatiguing.

The asymmetric design is all about balancing mobility and support. The lower inner sidewall allows for better lateral movement when you're tweaking grabs or adjusting your stance, while the taller outer sidewall provides the necessary leverage and stability you need for confident turns while touring or riding downhill.

While Carbon Nyolite is incredibly stiff and responsive, it's designed to provide a high-performance feel rather than an unforgiving one. It offers excellent power transfer for demanding backcountry missions, but most experienced riders will find it provides a precise, energetic ride rather than feeling overly harsh.

Every gram counts when you're skinning for miles, and the hollow titanium pins are a key part of the Prime-X's weight-reduction strategy. While you won't feel the weight difference of the pins alone, they contribute to the binding's overall lightweight profile, which helps keep your legs fresher for the descent.

The AirPod straps are designed to provide a secure, pressure-free fit that conforms well to various boot shapes. They prioritize comfort and hold, ensuring your boots stay locked in place without creating hot spots during long days in the backcountry.
