No expense has been spared with. CNC machined completely from 7000 Series Space-Grade Aluminum and injection molded with Carbon Nyolite, the Prime-X is a featherweight beast. This is not a flimsy, light-weight splitboard binding. We reduce weight by using stronger and lighter materials such as grade 5 titanium hardware and hollow pins. We’ve added stiffness with our new C4 Carbon highback. The Prime-X sets a new standard for backcountry snowboarders. Travel lighter, travel faster, ride harder. The best of the best for lightweight touring missions, the Karakoram Prime-X + Split Interface Splitboard Bindings are made with high quality materials that perform even better than they look. Titanium hardware, a C4 Carbon highback, and more make these strong yet nimble bindings a force to be reckoned with on the skin track. Complete with a Ride Mode 2.0 touring system that increases board power and provides seamless transitions, the Karakoram Prime-X + Split Interface Splitboard Bindings are a splitboarder's dream. Tour Mode Dual Ride Stride – Saving energy in the backcountry can be the difference between going for a second lap, going for a longer tour, or going home because you’re wiped out. All Karakoram splitboard bindings come standard with Dual Ride-Stride forward lean. With a -8° forward lean setting, Stride Mode allows you to stride and glide further with every step. Dual Ride modes allow you to effortlessly switch between railing carves and surfing turns. Drive Mode consists of a preset useradjustable forward lean (0°-22°), and surf mode can be activated without unstrapping (11° or 0°). Simply turn and go. Dual RideStride is the fastest and easiest forward lean adjustment available.
