Understanding that ladies can shred just as hard as the dudes, Karakoram made sure not to make the Women's Prime Carbon Splitboard Binding any softer or less powerful than the men's version. They simply tweaked the highback to make it better suited to the anatomy of a woman's leg to ensure comfort and performance.

Ride mode delivers 0 to 22 degrees of forward lean (in two-degree increments) for quick-turning response when you're charging steeps. Ditching traditional climbing wires for a two-height riser that deploys with the quick flick of your pole basket, the Flip-Speed Riser conquers mellow approaches and more demanding ascents alike. Engage the shorter riser on long, flatter approaches or flip up the taller riser during intimidating, steeper climbs. Additionally, there's a heel lock-down feature that's ideal for skating across long flats and side-stepping small hills. This lock-down has a load equivalent to DIN 6. Specializing in efficiency, the Prime Interface uses the tried-and-true Tour Mode used on the original Split 30 interf...
