Features

Pillow Line Straps

Arc Pillow Line Straps are lightweight - 46% lighter than their fabric strap predecessors. They are ultradurable, comfortable, waterproof, one-piece molded construction, and made 100% in-house. Strap pillows are thin and flexible for a comfortable, conformed fit, while thicker ribs are held off the boot and provide stiffness for a uniquely responsive ride. Arc ankle straps have a smaller footprint than the Surge and feature a flex window for max agility while maintaining support. The toe straps come in one construction for both Arc and Surge models, and are designed to be used as a toe cap but also fit traditionally over the top.

Rip 'N' Flip Highback

The R&D shines with a shape built from 3D scans of popular splitboard boot models, and a list of rad features designed specifically for and fully appreciated by the splitboarder. The Arc highback has a moderate amount of glass fiber fill for medium flex and a surfy feel. The tool free forward lean adjuster (FLAD) offers complete customization from 0° to 22° in ride mode. The Forward Lean Adjuster toggles easily between forward lean position and -13° touring position for easy transitions.

Whammy Bar Climbing Wire

A single fatty climbing wire is built into the baseplate with a side arm lever for easy position changes on the steeps. You can switch easily from stowed, to low (12°), to high (18°) and back again while touring.

Snap Ramps & Side-Lock Tesla Touring Brackets

T1 System bindings slide sideways into the offset touring bracket and are locked into place with our snap ramp. No pins, no cables, no fiddle factor. Integrated Ibex crampon mounting claws on touring brackets make for quick and easy installation and removal.

Puck Compatibility

Slide them on and snap the ramp down. Snap the ramp up and slide them off. The most functional way to attach your binding to your board in ride mode. Period. Spark R&D bindings are designed to work with all puck compatible splitboard models. When used with Arc bindings conveniently access puck screws with the bindings in place for precise stance adjustment. Available in a flat and a 3° canted model. Note that pucks do not come with the bindings out of the box and must be purchased separately.

T1 Heel Rest

The T1 Heel Rest catches the climbing wire in the 12° and 18° positions and is specifically designed to hold the T1 Step Locker in place.

Buckles & Plastics

Ladders and adjusters are produced in-house with unique thermoplastics that maintain flex over a wide temperature range, performing well on spring tours as well as sub-zero suffer fests. All straps incorporate Burton's time-tested bomber buckles.

Description

Optimize the Splitboard Experience

Fewer moving parts means less to worry about. The women's Burton Step On® Splitboard Bindings bring the ease and simplicity of our Step On system to the backcountry. Based on the same easy-to-use Spark Tesla mounting system as our Hitchhiker binding, the Step On model mounts quickly and creates a secure connection between the boot heel and binding in tour mode that makes for an efficient stride on the skin track and reduces boot wear. Less fussing equals faster transitions and more time riding.

Features

Just Step Right In
The Step On® system creates a clean and simple boot-to-binding interface that lets you step right in. Toe hooks 2.0 offer responsive entry and a quick-release lever on the hi-back makes for a clean exit. No buckles. No Straps. No Fuss.
Quick Transitions
The simplicity of the Spark R&D Tesla T1 base plates makes for smooth transitions between skinning and riding.
Made for Walking and Riding
Negative lean hi-back design maximizes your stride on the skin track and locks in place for riding.

How it works

The Burton Step On® Split binding system simplifies the boot, binding interface by creating a convenient, user-friendly system that eliminates the hassle of traditional binding straps.

Burton Step On® Split bindings let you move easily between ride and tour modes.

A release lever on the binding heel cup disengages the heel clip and lets you step out.

Burton 2024 Womens Step On Splitboard Bindings

Spark R&D Surge ST Splitboard Binding

$849.99

Description

Endorsed by hard chargers everywhere, the Spark R&D Surge ST Splitboard Bindings have undergone sufficient change to warrant an upgrade to "ST" - smooth touring - status. Spark's own overmolding process puts low-friction, high strength plastic over existing metal components to reduce friction and increase durability pretty much anywhere the binding moves, making touring smoother, easier and quieter. Still the stiffest of the Spark offerings, the Surge ST also has a re-designed Asym highback and overmolded ST Whammy Bars where the bar meets the baseplate. A no-compromise approach to the riding after the approach.

Features

TOUR MODE -

Improved ST (Smooth Touring) Mode – Spark injection molds a proprietary thermoplastic over existing aluminum or steel parts in a process called "overmolding," reducing friction and improving durabillity.

ST Whammy Bars – Overmolded plastic blend where the climbing wire meets the baseplate to eliminate stickiness. (Note: not backward compatible with previous Arc, Surge or other older models)

ST Touring Brackets – Overmolded with low-friction proprietary plastic over and through the bracket holes in the aluminum base - strong, smoother pivoting, and lasts 4 times longer than the old brass bushing.

BASE PLATE -

CNC Machined Baseplates – CNC machined baseplates remain solid for max stiffness and durability. All of the baseplate side windows have been partially filled to increase durability and strength

HIGHBACK -

Asym Rip 'N' Flip Highbacks – Asymmetrical design features individual left and right highbacks that slope inward matching the rider’s stance / The upper section is flatter for improved lateral mobility / More material at the base for increased longevity and durability / Higher bottom edge won’t snag on boots with crampon welts or soles that wrap high on the heel

Tool free micro-adjustable from 0° to 22° for complete customization of your forward lean angle

Flippin’ FLAD toggles between your forward lean angle and -13° touring position for easy transitions.

Made with proprietary custom blended materials for improved strength and durability, while minimizing weight.

Lateral slots for our BD Touring Strap for greater edge control while skinning.

STRAPS -

Pillow Line Straps – Pillow Line Straps are lightweight, durable, comfortable, waterproof, one-piece molded construction, and made 100% in-house. Surge ST ankle straps are wide and asymmetrical around the boot for incredible all-around support. Toe straps are designed to be used as a toe cap, but also fit nicely as a traditional strap across the top of the boot.

Ladders and adjusters are produced in-house with unique thermoplastics that maintain flex over a wide temperature range.
