The Spark Arc ST is a lightweight, high-efficiency splitboard binding designed for precision touring and confident all-mountain descents. Built around a cut-out aluminium baseplate and Spark’s medium-flex Asym Rip ’N’ Flip highbacks, the Arc ST delivers a surfy, responsive ride while keeping weight to an absolute minimum. The smaller ankle strap with integrated flex window enhances lateral mobility without sacrificing support, making this binding equally capable in tight trees, deep powder, and variable alpine terrain. At its core is Spark’s proven Tesla T1 system, combined with the latest Smooth Touring (ST) Technology. ST Brackets and ST Whammy Bars use a proprietary thermoplastic overmould bonded to aluminium components, reducing friction, improving durability, and increasing touring efficiency on long climbs.
