Karakoram Prime SL Split Snowboard Binding

Description

Venture deep into uncharted territory with the ultra-light performance and responsive feel of the Karakoram Prime SL Split Snowboard Binding. As the second lightest binding produced by Karakoram (behind the flagship Prime Carbon model), the Prime SL weighs a mere 695-grams per binding, making it approximately 100-grams lighter than the base-level Prime1 and Split30 bindings. A bit softer than Karakoram's carbon-infused offerings, the Prime SL Split Snowboard Binding features a lightweight Airflow highback that's cored-out for more lateral flex without sacrificing heelside response when you're charging. This highback is constructed from bombproof Dupont Zytel ST for unmatched strength and durability. Saving even more weight, you'll find the binding's CNC-machined baseplate and 7075 heelcup deliver an optimum strength-to-weight ratio, while the brand new Air Strap is the lightest ever used by Karakoram. This ingenious, split-specific binding uses Karakoram's newest Prime interface for ultra-fast transitions between riding and touring and a solid feel underfoot. Starting with the brand new Solid Ride board attachment, you'll find the Prime Interface offers more stance options (-30 to 30) and improved ergonomics. Four wide, pre-loaded contact points direct energy to the edges for unmatched response and edge control. This design completely eliminates seam slop, allowing you to rip the steepest, gnarliest lines without unnerving board chatter. Another innovation with the Prime Interface is the new Flip-Speed Riser with heel lock. This feature ditches traditional climbing wires for a two-height riser that deploys with the simple flick of your pole basket. Engage the shorter riser for mellow approaches or flip up the tall riser during steeper, more demanding ascents. Additionally, you'll find a heel lock-down feature that's ideal for skating through long flats and side-stepping small hills. This lock-down has a load equivalent to DIN 6 to 8.
