Above you’ll see some of the process behind Spark’s Pillow Line strap development, which has helped save 50-60% on strap weight in comparison to its predecessors. Made on-site with Spark’s own molds, their one-piece construction incorporates soft ‘pillows’ inside for comfort, with stiffer ribs outside for support. Think they look too minimal to be true? Keep an eye out for our review dropping soon.

Spark’s canted pucks on the other hand, will come as a relief for riders who’ve found canted binder footbeds a big help for knee problems. They’ll be out and available with a three degree angle, and offer a great alternative if you’ve been missing that feel on splitboard missions.

Below, you’ll see a first look at Spark’s new Crossbar clip, with customisable clamping tension to give a perfect fit for your board, and a solid aluminium bar to stop movement across the join. They’ve already been described as “simple, bomber, and easy to use”, which surely fulfils the key criteria of a small but important part in any splitboard.
