ST // SMOOTH TOURING TECH

We have enhanced several of our binding and crampon components using a manufacturing technique called overmolding. By injection molding a proprietary thermoplastic blend over and through existing aluminum or steel parts several key areas of friction and wear are eliminated.

Less Friction = Smooth Touring

Whenever you see an ST next to a product, this signifies that part or product uses the overmold process.

HOW IT'S MADE

1

Step One

A steel or aluminum part is loaded into our mold.

2

Step Two

The mold closes and the thermoplastic is injected into the mold. The molten plastic forms around the part in the mold and then cools into a solid state.

3

Step Three

The mold opens and the finished part is released.

Our team created their own custom thermoplastic blend specific to the overmold process that includes additives to make it extremely cold tolerant, durable, and abrasion-resistant.

ST TOURING BRACKET

ST Touring Brackets incorporate the best features of aluminum and thermoplastics. We overmold our custom plastic blend over and through the holes in the aluminum base, forming bushings that last four times longer than their previous brass version.

ST WHAMMY BARS

The ST Whammy Bar climbing wire is built right into the baseplate. Overmolded plastic where the bar contacts the baseplate allows for super-smooth climbing wire deployment and transitions.

IBEX ST CRAMPONS

We’ve replaced the brass axle with our overmolded thermoplastic allowing for effortless installation and super-smooth rotation.

ASYM HIGHBACKS

Asym Rip ‘N’ Flip Highbacks feature a host of rad features appreciated by both new and veteran splitboarders

What changed from previous Rip 'N' Flips?

An 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 soles that wrap high on the heel or that have crampon welts.

What's still awesome?

Tool-free micro-adjustable from 0° to 22° for complete customization of your forward lean angle.
Flippin’ FLAD (forward lean adjuster) 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.
Minimalist goals meet precision design, no padding is needed, shaving weight without sacrificing comfort or performance.
Stiff where you need it toe-to-heel, yet torsionally flexible for improved mobility while riding. Stiffer for the Surge ST and less stiff for the Arc ST.
Lateral slots for our BD Touring Strap for greater edge control while skinning.
