Hi Trygve,
I have never done an in hand side by side comparison of Splitboard halves and skis and I’m pretty clueless in general about skis, so I’m just spewing out some thoughts here. I think they stay afloat better while skinning because of a) lenght and b) stiffness that has to be kept through the length of the ski( the average touring skis…[Read more]

Having issues of this post not showing under Splitboard Swap, so I’m trying to make it show.

I have 2014/15 Karakoram Prime Carbon SL size Medium for sale with all the hardware and some extras.

It is in good used condition and everything is fully functional. A lot of life left with these!

It comes with everything that you get when you buy a Splitboard binding from KK:
-Bindings
-Ride Mode plates
-Touring Brackets
-Heelrisers (upgraded…[Read more]

Did this for mine and just wanted to add that it was a flawless experience. Fantastic customer service. Follow the instructions, they cover everything. Had it back within I wanna say maybe 10 days max? From US (Cali) to Germany and back. It was super fast.

Hi Vinzent,
Welcome to the forum. Ha man, that is a very loaded question that could possibly get you tons of different responses, depending on who uses and likes their own system, but since this forum has gotten pretty quiet you probably won’t, so I’m gonna try and help you out.
I would say between softboot splitboarders it’s quite evenly divided…[Read more]

Hi Tony,

Greetings back from a german in the US 😉
I can’t 100% answer your question from experience, since I put my collapsible poles inside the pack, which I like (I use a bigger pack (35L).) Being an old Dude I had plenty of telescope poles throughout my splitboarding time and yes of course they would go on the outside of the pack, because…[Read more]

Hi Sam,
welcome to splitboard.com. This forum has gotten quiet, so I’m not sure how many responses you will get. But I’ll take a shot, even though I can’t speak from hands on experience. I do own a regular Mammut pack for many years now and love it
I myself have been window shopping Mammut Avy packs for several seasons now, but never pulled the…[Read more]

Ugh, that sucks! He was a big influence on me back then. Being a skater and then became a snowboarder myself he was super influential.

Anybody know reason of death?

I really like this sentiment. I’m in the same boat. Had a lot of fun on the slopes and in the park recently. It’s funny that carving is apparently cool again 😉 It’s very easy to get caught up with the urge to chase the gnar. You get inundated via social media of everyone getting after it. I caught myself getting quite down this season. Major…[Read more]

Yeah JimW! Good to see you back on this forum! The man, the myth the legend 🙂

That is indeed a good use case and test!

But also to underline my statement of fitness being a far bigger factor for speed. Jim is a really fast guy, because he is fit as fuck and before the Milligram his various set-ups were not lightweight at all and neither is his…[Read more]

Yes I absolutely understand that Karkis, I agree with you, but ieism was basically saying heavier is faster for him and I was trying to say that is tough to imagine for me. Maybe didn’t get that across the right way. I personally don’t think I go faster with my light set-up. I just feel I get less tired. But maybe I do!?

Crazy shit, I was not…[Read more]

I knew Buell would reply to this, right on cue. Ha! Buell and I have become friends over the last couple years and he is the ultimate weight weenie and gear head that I know. And it’s been very interesting for me to observe him and his gear. I ride softboots and I always will, so I will never be able to come even close to his weight.

I very much…[Read more]

Yeah Buell! Nice!

I’m glad your french shoes 😉 seem to be working out, since that is quite the investment.

That weight is unbelievable! Congrats! That is a full 1.43 kilograms less than my ‘lightest softboot set-up on the planet’ haha.
That is nuts!

Thanks for posting all the weights. I’m looking forward to a full report about how they ride.

Hey Ride Everything, the reason you haven’t received the straight answer you are looking for is because there is a problem with your question. You are trying to look at something in isolation of the main factors that create torsional stiffness in a Splitboard and I second Buell as well here, Board and Binding system are way bigger factors.
