Break free from the resort and explore the snow covered nirvana beyond the ropes with the K2 Freeloader Splitboard. Its directional, mildly shape is perfect for riding hard in technical terrain, with K2's Combination Camber profile, a slightly setback stance, and a mid-firm flex. This lightweight, backcountry-ready setup comes with Karakoram Ultra Clips, mounting pucks, and hardware. Grab some skins and head for the hills!
Directional Combination Camber – The best of both worlds. By blending both traditional camber and rocker profiles, Combination Camber gives you all the benefits of both; the pop and precision of camber, and the float and predictability of rocker.
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)
Paulownia Tour Lite – Up to 500g lighter than an average core to reduce touring fatigue.
ICG 20 Triax Carbon Glass – Integrating tip-to-tail carbon fiber stringers into fiberglass layups ensures a smooth power release in and out of turns while increasing pop, liveliness, and longevity of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity.
Carbon Infused Sintered 5500 Base – Fast, light, and strong. This base is the cream of the crop. By adding carbon to a sintered base, K2 has increased wax retention and decreased drag for a faster, smoother ride.
SnoPhobic Topsheet – Helps eliminate snow buildup while touring up and riding down.
Karakoram Ultra Clips – USA made tip and tail clips for unmatched security.
Riser, Mounting Pucks, and Hardware Included
Splitrack Inserts – K2's Split Track mounting system opens up a whole new dimension for avid split boarders. No longer are stance's limited by stiff pucks, K2's opened it up to allow any desired stance on earth. Freedom to roam.

Part of getting to those epic BC lines is having a kit that is up to snuff and the Burton Hitchhiker Splitboard Bindings will be a major piece in that puzzle. Boasting a burly, yet lightweight aluminum baseplate designed by Spark R&D for climbing convenience and descending confidence. A dual position, single wire ramp adjuster changes angle on the fly when you climb. Going up is half the fun and when going down, fully adjustable straps will lock down your boots into a high performance, single component highback in a flash. If you're ready to break out of the confines of the resort and want gear you can rely on then give the Burton Hitchhiker Splitboard Bindings a ride.
Spark R&D Tesla T1 Single Wire Baseplate – A single fatty wire built into the baseplate switches easily from stowed, to low (12°), to high (18°) climbing positions and back again while touring. Eliminating the second wire saves weight and fiddle time.
Hammockstrap™ – Reactstrap roots in a stitchless construction for ultra-response with minimal materials. The addition of a nylon cross spine equals a more direct connection with the board.
Flex Slider – Makes the ankle straps move out of the way so you can step into the binding without obstruction. Burton's Flex Slider has a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Supergrip Capstrap™ 2.0 – This minimalist design merges two materials into one technologically advanced toe strap. A firmer material in the spine provides a supportive and lightweight skeleton, while a softer over-molded material improves boot wrap and comfort.
Double Take Buckles w/ Insta-Click – Be the first to drop in with the rapid ratcheting of Burton's Double Take Buckles. Helical teeth and "Insta-Click" engagement combine for increased torque per crank, faster uptake, and fewer cranks to tightness. The result: vastly improved strength, speed, and ease-of-use.
Quick-Adjust FLAD™ – Burton's tool-free forward lean adjustment.
Burton-Designed Single-Component Negative Lean Hi-Back – The simplicity of a one-piece hi-back means immediate response. Through material blends we then manipulate the overall flex profile—from buttery to responsive.
True OTT Hi-Back Padding – Wrapping the upper portion of the hi-back with padding eliminates pesky pressure points.
Mounts directly to 2015 and newer Burton splitboards without any additional hardware needed.
To mount the Hitchhiker Binding to any other splitboard, you must purchase additional hardware, such as Spark R&D Spark Pucks, or pucks from Voile USA. Sold separately.
Crampon Compatability – The new Tesla T1 baseplate is only compatible with the Burton Crampon and Spark Ibex Crampon.
Medium-Stiff Flex – Helps with quick, technical maneuvers, even at high speeds. Great for all-mountain carving, powerful freeriding and charging through the terrain park.

Ever Dry 3.0 DWR – PFC-Free
Ready2climb – The ready2climb skin can be cut to a specific ski in just two minutes without any special tools. The adjustable loop can be fixed to any type of ski.
Grip – Pomoca uses a combination of materials and weaving techniques to combine glide and durability with gripping power. Proper alignment and the fiber attachment systems make Pomoca skins very stable under all conditions and for the life span of the skin.
Glide – This exclusive process gives ski tourers extra glide with less effort. This treatment, applied at the end of the production process and to to entire length of the fiber, makes the skin glide and resist moisture more effectively. Skins with Glide offer an effective process for the entire life of the skin, and unique anti-glopping performance.
Safer Skin Light – Pomoca has succeeded in making it's classic Safer Skin membrane lighter. Thanks to finer layers in the membrane, Safer Skin Light is 12% lighter (150g / m² less). Safer Skin Light makes each pair 60 - 75g lighter, while remaining 100% waterproof and providing slightly less wear resistance.
