Who needs a season pass? With the Karakoram x NOW Prime1 Split Snowboard Binding's easy and quick interface, lightweight feel, and superior riding performance, you might just skip the crowds at the resort this winter. For this model, Karakoram teamed up with Now Bindings to borrow Now's durable, comfy, and responsive Hyperfuse strap technology, making the ride even better.
More efficient than pin-style split bindings, the Prime Interface uses Karakoram's quick-release touring bracket. This quick-release touring bracket and the Power-Link activation lever allow for quick-and-easy transitions from touring to riding without taking your foot out of the binding. Total changeover time is roughly two minutes, and that includes taking off your skins and storing everything in your pack. Best of all, the Prime Interface has no moving parts, so you never have to worry about losing parts in the snow.
Softer than Karakoram's carbon-infused offerings, the Prime1 Split Binding has an Airflow highback that's cored out for a bit more lateral flex and an ultralight feel. However, it's still plenty responsive when you're carving at high speeds and slashing through deep powder. This highback features Ride-Stride forward lean that quickly toggles between Ride and Walk Modes with a 1/4-turn of the forward lean adjuster. In Walk mode, the -8 degree forward lean elongates your stride to conserve energy on the long uphill skin. Ride mode delivers 0 to 22 degrees of forward lean (2 degree adjustable increments) for quick-turning response.
Offering a completely solid feel underfoot, this binding uses a Solid Ride four-point attachment to eliminate unnerving seam slop and board chatter, especially when you're riding at high speeds. Four wide, preloaded contact points direct energy to the edges for unmatched response on high-consequence terrain.
Ditching traditional climbing wires for a two-height riser that deploys with the simple flick of your pole basket, the Flip-Speed Riser conquers mellow approaches and demanding ascents alike. Engage the shorter riser on long, flatter approaches or flip the taller riser during intimidating climbs. Additionally, there's a heel lock-down feature for skating across flats and side-steeping small hills. This lock-down feature has a load equivalent to DIN 6.
