Welcome to Spark R&D
Innovators of the revolutionary Ignition splitboard specific bindings. Winner of the Backcountry Magazine Editor’s choice award for 2009.
Spark R&D was founded in 2005 with the mission of taking splitboarding to the next level. What better place to do that than the beautiful Bozeman, Montana with backcountry access just 20 minutes away in the legendary Bridger Mountain Range.
Two years and many prototypes later our first splitboard binding, the Ignition, was brought to market in Fall 2007. Feedback has surpassed expectation, we won the Backcountry Magazine 2009 Editors Choice Award! Go check out our product page to get the lowdown on our bindings and crampons.
Spark R&D has come up with solution for getting the feel and performance of a conventional set up out of a splitboard. The efficient and lightweight binding system allows me to feel confident riding my splitboard in challenging terrain.
-Bryan Iguchi, Snowboarding legend
The bindings are awesome. I felt the difference on my first step. Snowboarding felt like my traditional set up. I was hoping I would get a 5 to 10 percent improvement out of the system. It was more like 20 to 30. Thanks for making my life better. I will be able to achieve more in the mountains because of the spark bindings. Nice work,
-Jeremy Jones, eight time winner of Snowboarder Magazine’s Best Big Mountain Rider of the Year Award
The Spark R&D binding adds power to my split riding. The light weight system takes less energy to tour up hill, and when in snowboard mode with less weight and the bindings sitting on the board, I get a full powerful performance like my regular board. The system will allow my split boarding to go to a higher level of riding with confidence in the performance.
-Snowboarding Pioneer Tom Burt
