Fuse Splitboard Binding

Spark R&D

The splitboard binding has changed back country snowboarding and has characterized it until today. Only the binding systems don´t tick all the boxes, often they are heavy, difficult to handle and impair the riding performance. The new splitboard binding, developed by the passionate American boarder Will Ritter, can be fitted to a plate on the board in the twinkling of an eye and bring forth noticeable better riding qualities through the enormous stiffness. Several world renowned snowboarders like Jeremy Jones, Tom Burt, Bryan Iguchi, Neil Provo and many more swear by this new binding.

Can't wait to get some for my set-up. This is a huge step forward for this product.

31.03.2010 06:06:00



Great innovation in bringing a product that never existed to a market that was starving for this solution. The sprarks have improved the splitboard...

18.02.2010 23:07:00



theeee best thing invented in splitboarding!!!!

03.02.2010 03:34:00



About time someone made some improvements on the same tired old splitboard hardware. This has the potential to make splitboarding more fun, accessibl

13.01.2010 21:34:00



Spark rules... those old designs (burton, rossignol and simms, you forgot voile) don't even compare. Go Spark.

07.01.2010 17:12:00



sorry but i sow the this idea 7 years ego: burton design concept. take a look at the patent...2 years ego: rossignol, 5 years ego sims snowboard ;)

23.12.2009 23:10:00



Makes my splitboard ride like a resort board. Great product.

21.12.2009 20:38:00



Have been splitting for about ten years now. Great concept and execution on this product. Now the only thing left from voile on my board ar the blocks

17.12.2009 08:28:00



Ingenious! Go Bozeman! Go Spark R&D! All the best as your wonderful product takes off.

17.12.2009 03:53:00



Made such a HUGE difference when I switched from the Voile base plate system to the Spark R&D Ignition IIs! I love these bindings!

15.12.2009 03:35:00



Awesome binding!! Great, innovative binding set up.

10.12.2009 05:56:00



This is an exceptional product/binding that has increased my trust, comfort, and therefore my ability to push my limits, on a splitboard!

08.12.2009 21:46:00



If I was a snowboarder, this would be an ideal binding. Great product!!

08.12.2009 02:57:00



I own a pair and LOVE them!

05.12.2009 17:13:00

These bindings are a game changer. They make splits ride like normal boards. jeremy jones

30.11.2009 18:16:00



Thats incredible...exelent invention!!!

29.11.2009 16:28:00



Hallo Longboarder, bitte hört auf negative Kommentare bei anderen Herstellern reinzuspammen. Das kommt wirklich Scheiße! Eure POGOs

28.11.2009 16:51:00



Those things rule! I love how they've also eliminated all the other extraneous BS, just a functional system to attach your feet to the board.

28.11.2009 10:17:00



The Sparks binding is built by a snowboarder that knows what every seasoned split boarder has been hoping for for over ten years. Thank You Sparks R&D

28.11.2009 02:48:00



Hey Longboarders, let's stay fair. Rate the ones you like but don't write that kind of bullshit. Snowboarding is just as cool as well as this binding.

27.11.2009 22:48:00



Just another binding....

27.11.2009 06:37:00



These are strong, light, and easy to use the best!

26.11.2009 21:59:00



No longer do you have to give up snowboarding to go splitboarding. Thank you Will for breathing fresh air into splitboarding!!!

25.11.2009 22:26:00



Fantastic invention, changes the sport. Much less fatigue going up, much more control going down. What more could you ask for? Truly revolutionary!

25.11.2009 20:14:00



Tienen muy buena pinta, espero tener unas muy pronto bajo mis pies. ¡Buen trabajo! Saludos desde los Pirineos de España. Great job!

25.11.2009 18:51:00



These Binders are the best - Easy to setup, easy to use (tour to ride switch), bomber to ride. Feels like riding a non-split.

25.11.2009 17:55:00



Lighter, stronger, stiffer, simple to use, and just plain cool...what's not like.

25.11.2009 03:51:00



Amazing product!!! Has totally changed the feel of my splitboard to a more solid, lighter, controlled ride comparable to riding my resort board.

25.11.2009 01:51:00



Great People, Great Designs and great products. Welcome to the evolution of splitboarding.

25.11.2009 01:27:00



the binding makes a split board into a snowboard, its a must if you want your split to ride like a normal board.

24.11.2009 15:45:00



Essential for splitboarding.

24.11.2009 08:44:00



Spark R&D takes it to the next level for snowboarders. Opening new doors in design and backcountry snowboarding. Thanks Will and Spark R&D!!

24.11.2009 07:13:00



Finally something solid for the traverse. Keep it up. Support smaller companies outside the box.

24.11.2009 04:06:00



SPARK R & D is the bees knees! Just the boys and betty churning out bomber bindings!

24.11.2009 03:40:00



Finally someone has figured out how to make a split board feel more like snowboarding, This device is going to help snowboarding progress in a big way

24.11.2009 02:56:00



If you think this isn't anything new, you're not paying attention. The integrated slider in the binding baseplate means absolute control! No slop!

24.11.2009 01:11:00



Can't wait to get em. Speaking of getting them, production team, let's show a little hustle.

23.11.2009 23:31:00



These are the best things to happen to the splitboard SINCE the splitboard!

23.11.2009 22:42:00



what´s a splitboard?

23.11.2009 22:13:00



These are awesome. If you don't see the need for these, then you probably haven't ever ridden a splitboard. Well done Will!

23.11.2009 22:10:00



I'm on some Ignitor IIs from last year as well. The difference between these and the old bindings is night and day. Seriously!

23.11.2009 20:06:00



I've been on the Ignitions (Fuse's predecessor) for a couple seasons now and can't shut up about the huge difference these bindings make in my setup!

23.11.2009 19:15:00



I have used a Fuse variant for a season in France touring in some big hills and finally the split system works the way it should. Highly recommended

23.11.2009 10:16:00



I want to rivet some to the roof of a train and train surf,im sure vthey can ahndle it cool cool cool

23.11.2009 10:08:00



3 points

22.11.2009 16:19:00



these bindings make my splitty ride like a regular board. By far the best improvement to split boarding yet. ferls

22.11.2009 16:10:00



there is nothing new

22.11.2009 14:10:00



Finally someone put some thought into this,looks great, see u at ispo to check them out

22.11.2009 04:50:00



Ignition II is a terrific product. The bent metal parts slightly bring the product down, but overall a vast improvement to the splitboarding.

22.11.2009 01:44:00



the idea is at least 10 years old :) sorry!

21.11.2009 22:24:00



I'm a skier who's vastly impressed with what Spark R&D has provided for backcountry boarders.I look forward to my first set of FUSE binders. G DANGER

21.11.2009 21:10:00



Excellent product with unbelieveable customer service.

21.11.2009 19:27:00



This has changed my life. I would never use anything else now. Just wished they were a bit longer (I am a size 47 !)

21.11.2009 13:49:00



these make a world of difference, nothing else even close to comparing,best thing to ever happen to the splitboard!!!!

21.11.2009 03:28:00



The must have for the 09 / 10 season!!!!

21.11.2009 02:07:00



awesome company. great product. keep up the good work!

21.11.2009 01:10:00



The Spark R&D is the perfect splitboard binding for the Andes. Our CASA guides love them especially skinning around with the stomp snowboard crampons

21.11.2009 00:10:00



I´m happy with my Ignition II but the new Spark Fuse is a step foward. Thanks Will

20.11.2009 20:14:00



Fantastic innovation to backcountry snowboarding. Spark R & D is really helping progress the sport. What a great design.

20.11.2009 19:57:00



Absolutely love Ignition bindings. The Fuse Bindings look even sicker! Keep up the good work SparkR&D! Worth weight in gold/$ spent! Thanks SparkR&D!

20.11.2009 19:29:00



Took a look at the prototype last weekend and it is sexy, smart, and superb. What other binder system has got mad alliteration skills like that?

20.11.2009 18:46:00



These have made such a difference in my touring and riding the BC on splitboards. Anyone who doen't 'get' that hasn't used 'em.

20.11.2009 17:50:00



Most significant advancement in splitboarding since the invention of the splitboard. Thanks Spark!!!

20.11.2009 17:16:00



Indispensable! I just wish there were some mountains near me.

20.11.2009 14:56:00



Save 160 g compared to which binding ??? What's the exact weight ??? What's the inovation compared to Burton system 15 years ago ???

20.11.2009 13:20:00



No comparison

20.11.2009 12:54:00



Great idea. Nobody wants to unscrew bindings every time from Voilè slider track. And with fuse we have the final binding for all freeriders.

20.11.2009 12:17:00



GRANDIOSE REMARQUABLE GENIAL, B R A V O aux inventeurs. Vive la neige et les descentent Pierre-Alp Meyer, Prof de sports

20.11.2009 10:08:00



die beste Bindung seit ich mit dem Splitboard unterwegs bin

20.11.2009 08:00:00



The best by far-Montucky rated 2 thumbs up-ride the sickter

20.11.2009 06:54:00



so good, so very good

20.11.2009 05:45:00



Best snowboarding equipment purchase I've made in 30 years-AFTER my first board with edges in 1988 and my splitboard in 2005.

20.11.2009 04:37:00



Spark R and D bindings are awesome. Buy them and you will not be disappointing.

20.11.2009 02:47:00



Can't wait to try out the Fuse!

20.11.2009 02:39:00



Spark bindings add power and control both in split and snowboard mode. They are a vast improvement over the other systems that are out there.

20.11.2009 02:26:00



soon all splitbinds will copy this style.

20.11.2009 02:10:00



I love the set up. Every time I am out others on splitboards know of your product and want my feedback. I tell them it rocks, then drop in.

20.11.2009 01:46:00



This binding has changed splitboarding forever. There is no other product like it on the market.

20.11.2009 01:35:00



The best thing to happen to backcountry snowboarding, since the splitboard itself.

20.11.2009 00:35:00



How are some damn hats and a face mask actually being mentioned in the same conversation around innovation as the Spark binding??? I mean seriously.

20.11.2009 00:02:00



Have been using the ignition II's for the last year and their awesome, can't wait to get the new Fuse's which look even better - nice job Will!! -b-

19.11.2009 21:13:00



Crispy approved!

19.11.2009 21:11:00



Good stuff!!! I got mine and cant wait to get back on the snow.

19.11.2009 20:44:00



One run with Spark R&D bindings turns the skeptical - fanatical! Simply an amazing product that I'll never stop using.

19.11.2009 20:32:00



If you enjoy riding soft boots and strap bindings, and I'm not sure who wouldn't, there is nothing on the market even comparable

19.11.2009 20:28:00



Can't wait to get mine for my split. Ignition II bindings were amazing and have no doubt this will rock as well. :)

19.11.2009 20:09:00



A great design that has changed the backcountry experience for BC Riders. Better stability while sidehilling, lighter weight, and a better ride. RAD.

19.11.2009 20:03:00



"Best thing to happen to backcountry snowboarding since the splitboard itself." Indeed, truer words have not been spoken!

19.11.2009 20:02:00



10 for the bindings and 10 for Eric's footy (making fatties look badass)... been waiting to see a hint of what you guys have in store.

19.11.2009 19:21:00



No brainer, fuse's dramatically change the game

19.11.2009 19:16:00



wherre's the inovation here?

19.11.2009 19:15:00



Been using the Spark binders for 3yrs. They have never failed me and are the easiest to use interface for splitboards hands down!!!

19.11.2009 19:04:00



Incredible stuff! I love my Spark products!

19.11.2009 19:00:00



Best ever!

19.11.2009 18:59:00

19.11.2009 18:52:00



oh Sheeeetzki... can't wait to buy the Fuse! Fuse me arse to zeee spleeet'n board'n

19.11.2009 18:45:00



Revolutionary!

19.11.2009 18:09:00



Will...you're my hero!!!

19.11.2009 17:14:00



If you splitboard and aren't on a set of Sparks, you're shorting yourself. These binders are as good as it gets.

19.11.2009 16:15:00



Awesome bindings, so light they make touring a joy!

19.11.2009 15:36:00



That's great!!!

19.11.2009 10:15:00



French user of that new binding system. I can tell that it has pushed away the limit of the free surf practice. As performant as skis in stiff slopes!

19.11.2009 09:01:00



Impressive! Why wouldn't every snowboarder want these? Stellar people making a stellar product.

19.11.2009 05:25:00



These bindings kick ass!! They are a huge improvement on what we snowboarders had before to access the backcountry!

19.11.2009 05:02:00



Function at it's finest

19.11.2009 04:31:00



Amazing product for splitboarding. Worth every penny

19.11.2009 04:22:00



These rock!!

19.11.2009 04:21:00



Best thing to happen to backcountry snowboarding since the split board itself.

19.11.2009 04:09:00



I just received mine in the mail today and am extremely excited. Its amazing to me that this wasn't thought of from the beginning. Thanks for this.

19.11.2009 03:55:00



This product improves the performance of splitboards to close to that of a regular snowboard when descending. A ground breaking innovation and brand.

19.11.2009 02:59:00



There is nothing even close. This is a real product made well and makes a difference!

19.11.2009 02:45:00



Spark R&D. Down home attitude, world-class engineering. Representing some of the only new changes to splitboard technology in a decade.

19.11.2009 02:04:00



Last Fall was the purchase of the split board. Tried the other methods and then found the Spark. Love them. I now ride and tour on my split. Thanks

19.11.2009 02:03:00



NEW concept, simple, Easier than existing tech to use, performs better than existing Tech, Spark has Set a New Bar to measure against

19.11.2009 01:58:00



sweeeeeetnesss

19.11.2009 00:40:00



thank you for your innovative design, so simple and intuitive... being closer to the board feels so much better and offers more control faster.

19.11.2009 00:34:00



Gotta love the innovation from the folks at Spark R n D. Thanks for making my split da sh!t.

19.11.2009 00:23:00



These bindings are the cutting edge of the splitboard revolution! Super sick. Excellent contact, easy change out. These are THE BEST. Bertsch Tahoe 09

19.11.2009 00:20:00



Love the idea! Can't wait to get some to try out. Brilliant!

19.11.2009 00:07:00

18.11.2009 22:03:00

18.11.2009 13:32:00
