Product Details

Rocker Type

Directional Powder CamberA large reverse-camber nose provides maximum float in deep snow while traditional camber underfoot provides a reliable edge hold.

Flex

Flex Rating6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Shape

Directional Swallowtail

Core

91% Poplar / 9% BambooSustainably harvested, this blend keeps the board smooth and powerful.

Laminates

Tri-Axe GlassMulti-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any ­terrain or snow conditions.

Tail V CarbonCarbon fiber from the tail inserts to the tail contact points to provides added edge to edge response and spring in the tail.

Sidewalls

UMHW PEUltra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene has one of the highest impact strengths of any plastic out there, which means it can take a beating and look as good as new. For additional durability, the tip and tail sections are stitched to the core for a tighter bond.

Base

Sintered Durasurf 4001The gold standard in bases. The 4000-series sintered bases have a higher density than other options on the market, and are therefore more durable. Additionally, it absorbs more wax, making for a faster and smoother ride. 4000-series PTEX is usually reserved for only top-of-the-line boards due to a higher manufacturing cost, but at Weston it’s the minimum standard.

Topsheet

Rugged TopsheetRugged Topsheet - Polymide is eco friendly and made from castor beans. The topsheet is durable and resistant to scratches and scuffs.

Additional Features

Karakoram UltraClips and Active JoiningKarakoram UltraClips and Tip-Locks use Active Joining to spring load the seam of your splitboard, eliminating the rattling shearing, and rolling inherent to passive slip-fit connections. Simply close the lever to lock in the most responsive ride.

Skin AttachmentsTip holes (for Pomoca Z-Clips) and tail notches.

Shifted Touring Bracket Position

Rooted InsertsThe odds of pulling out inserts on a snowboard are about zero, but just to make sure Weston have reinforced all of the inserts areas with precision-cut sheets of flax. This improved durability and naturally dampens chatter. Additionally, flax is a sustainable crop and is good for the environment.

Split TechWeston doesn't skimp on their splits. You'll see a full inner metal edge, complete with sidewall and dampening tape. Also, when facing a kick-turn on a steep slope, you want all the help you can get - that's why Weston balance's their splits so that they are tail heavy.

Product Details

Tour Mode

Dual Ride StrideSaving energy in the backcountry can be the difference between going for a second lap, going for a longer tour, or going home because you’re wiped out. All Karakoram splitboard bindings come standard with Dual Ride-Stride forward lean. With a -8° forward lean setting, Stride Mode allows you to stride and glide further with every step. Dual Ride modes allow you to effortlessly switch between railing carves and surfing turns. Drive Mode consists of a preset useradjustable forward lean (0°-22°), and surf mode can be activated without unstrapping (11° or 0°). Simply turn and go. Dual RideStride is the fastest and easiest forward lean adjustment available.

Smooth Touring PivotIndependent sleeves rotate freely on a fixed thru-axle, similar to a bike axle, making these stiff and smooth. They're wide for touring rigidity, they shed snow well, and the quick-releasing bracket allows for simple transitions.

Dual Speed Riser with Heel Lock Pole Basket FlipFlip up/down with pole basket on the fly. Retractable Heel-Lock included.

Heel LockOn-the-fly heel lock down Release load equivalent to DIN 6 Heel-Lock folds out of way when not needed

Ride Mode

Dual Ride 2.0Active Joining pulls your splitboard together and keeps your feet spring-loaded to the board, giving you direct power transfer to the edge and instant response in a way that passive, slide fit splitboard systems cannot.

Active JoiningNo slop with instant response. Pre-loaded contact points create an ultra solid connection between your bindings and splitboard.

Interlocking Seam TabsNo separation: tabs interlock across the seam of your board, interlocking and pre-loading the two halves for a solid ride.

Snow Ejection ChannelsMade from a carbon infused nylon, the Ride Mode 2.0 is designed to reduce snow build up and clear snow easily.

Baseplate

7075-T6 Open ChassisCNC’d completely from 7000 series space grade aluminum, the open chassis allows your bindings to twist naturally with your board. Say no to dead spots under your feet.

Nomad X Type Heelcup2X stronger than standard aluminum. CNC core outs maximize the strength-to-weight ratio. The high sidewall supports boot for better power transfer and grip while side hilling.

Drop-On Change OversActive joining allows for a loose fit then closing the lever LOCKS your binding to board, removing all play from the system.

Flex (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)6

Straps

Air-Pod StrapsMade from P-Lite TPE, which is 30% lighter than standard TPU. These lightweight straps feature Independent Pressure Pods that articulate to eliminate pressure points.

Buckles

Carbon BucklesMade from recycled carbon fiber tow, these buckles are not just strong and light they use carbon fiber that is destine for landfills.

Highback
