Spark R&D Arc ST Splitboard Bindings in Gold
The Spark R&D Arc ST Splitboard Binding in Gold is an industry-leading favorite for powder chasers, tree-riders, and backcountry touring enthusiasts who prioritize agility, comfort, and effortless transitions. Built around Spark’s pinless Tesla T1 chassis with Smooth Touring (ST) technology, the Arc ST offers a medium flex profile that provides a surfy, playful feel underfoot while maintaining total reliability on technical skin tracks and high-alpine descents.
Milosport Shop Take
"If you want a splitboard binding that won't weigh you down during long backcountry ascents or force you into a stiff, unforgiving ride on the descent, the Arc ST is the absolute sweet spot. The Gold anodized finish brings a clean, premium look to any splitboard setup.
What makes the ST generation so good is the overmolded thermoplastic tech in the ST Touring Brackets and ST Whammy Bars. The bracket bushings last up to four times longer than old-school brass bushings, and the climbing wires flip up effortlessly with your pole basket. Paired with the lightweight cutout baseplate and flexible Pillow Line straps, the Arc ST gives you a lively, surfy feel in deep snow without exhausting your legs on big touring days."
