Spark R&D Arc ST Splitboard Binding

The Spark R&D Arc ST is the lightweight, surfy binding in Spark's lineup, made in Bozeman for long tours, overnights, trees and steeps. The 26/27 version carries the Tesla T1 system and ST touring brackets with a medium flex Rip N Flip highback.

Why We Carry It

Most of the splitboarders in our shop ride Spark, and the Arc is the one we recommend for people who want a light, responsive binding that is quick in transitions and comfortable on long skin tracks.

Highlights

• Tesla T1 system: Snap ramp locking with no pins or cables, and integrated claws for Ibex crampons.
• ST touring brackets: Thermoplastic bushings last about four times longer than brass and reduce friction on the skin track.
• Whammy bar climbing wires: Smooth adjustment between flat, 12 and 18 degree positions.
• Asym Rip N Flip highbacks: Left and right specific, medium flex, with a tool free forward lean toggle between tour and ride.
• Pillow Line straps: One piece molded ankle straps with a flex window, and toe straps that work as a cap or a traditional strap.
• Cutout baseplate: Trimmed for weight savings, compatible with Spark pucks.

Best For

Splitboarders touring Monarch Pass, Marshall Pass and the Sawatch who want a light setup that still drives the board on the way down.
