Technical Features

Flex Rating

Medium-plus flexing bindings provide more efficient transfer of energy for quicker and more precise edge-to-edge control, but aren’t so stiff to Sunday cruise when you are looking for a more mellow day or your legs are gassed at the end of the day. 

Voile/Spark R&D Puck Mounting

The puck mounting system utilizes two pucks per binding mounted to the splitboard. The bindings slide onto the pucks from the heel and lock in place with a lever on the toe of the binding. For hiking, the bindings utilize the included toe sliders. 

Machined Aluminum

The binding uses Spark R&D’s Tesla T1 baseplate milled from aluminum.

Hammockstrap™ Ankle Strap

A durable and low-profile design, locking you in and giving you instant control of your board. This provides ultra responsiveness between you and your board while reducing hotspots and increasing blood flow for the best heat retention. Simply put, warm and happy feet! The Genesis comes with a larger surface area strap for superior hold that requires less pressure.

Supergrip Capstrap Toe Strap

This toe strap wraps over the toebox of the boot and is fully injected to reduce waste. As the name implies, it grips!

Double Take buckles

Offer quicker engagement, faster tongue uptake, and fewer cranks to tighten your straps for vastly improved strength, speed, and ease-of-use.

Negative Lean Hi-Back

Negative forward lean hi-back is designed for more comfortable touring.

Forward Lean Adjuster FLAD™

The Negative Forward Lean Adjuster, or FLAD™, lets you set your forward lean to one of four settings, or choose the tour setting for a negative lean option.
