Finally! A lightweight tech toe with unparalleled build quality! Introducing the Spark x ATK Tech Toe. The Spark x ATK Tech Toes bring together decades of engineering experience from both the splitboard and ski touring worlds to make a lightweight tech toe that balances performance, durability and ease of use in the backcountry. This collaboration offers a precision machined product that can be installed right out of the box and directly into the standard hole patterns of a factory splitboard. Built at the ATK Factory in Italy with Ergal 7075 aluminum and ATKs signature monolink technology, the new tech toe offers an easy entry system that seamlessly integrates with Spark R&Ds dual height wire system. The design offers smoother entry, better retention, and integrated crampon mounts for the D Rex ST Pro Crampons, ideal for demanding ascents and remote missions. Monolink technology. A smart layout that utilizes one pair of springs to lock your boot firmly in place. Integrated Crampon Mounts. Built-in claw mounts allow for easy use of the D Rex ST Pro Crampons and original D Rex Crampons (now discontinued). Slotted rear holes compensate for splitboard insert pattern variability. Pins are riveted to the toe piece arms, making the loss of a pin in the backcountry nearly impossible. Heat treated for incredible wear resistance. Robust stainless steel center screw for easy no tool installation. Slimmed down aluminum lock lever saves weight and handles more abuse than plastic designs.
