Karakoram Interface Hardware Prime

The Karakoram Interface Hardware Prime is a cutting-edge solution designed for the most demanding backcountry snowboarders. Engineered with precision and crafted from the highest quality materials, this interface hardware ensures a seamless connection between your splitboard and bindings, providing unmatched performance and reliability in the harshest conditions.

Key Features:

1. Active Joining Technology:

   • Instant Response: The pre-loaded binding-to-board connections deliver immediate responsiveness, eliminating any lag or slop. This ensures that every movement you make is directly translated to your board, offering the most precise control possible.
   • Seamless Connection: The active joining mechanism ensures a tight, rattle-free connection, enhancing your riding experience by providing a stable and secure interface.

2. C4 Carbon Highback:

   • Progressive Reinforcement: The highback features a unique design that offers stiffness at the base for powerful turns and flexibility at the top for comfort during long tours and tweaks.
   • Lightweight and Durable: Made from Karakoram’s proprietary Carbon Nyolite, this highback reduces weight without compromising strength.

3. Ride Mode 3.0 Technology:

   • Versatile Adjustments: Easily switch between ride, surf, and walk modes with a simple 1/4 turn mechanism. Ride mode offers angles from 10° to 22°, surf mode provides 0° or 11°, and walk mode allows for a -8° angle for a longer stride.
   • No-Slop Design: The drop-on change-over system ensures a loose fit initially, but locks securely once engaged, removing all play from the system.

4. Premium Materials:

   • Space-Grade Aluminum: The chassis is CNC machined from 7000 series aluminum, known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.
   • Titanium Hardware: All screws and pins are made from Grade 5 titanium, offering superior durability and reduced weight.

5. Airpod Straps:

   • Comfort and Precision: Independent pressure pods articulate to your boot, eliminating pressure points and ensuring a snug fit.
   • Lightweight Construction: Made from P-Lite TPE, these straps are 30% lighter than standard TPU straps.

6. Asymmetric Heelcup:

   • Enhanced Power Transfer: The high outside sidewall provides optimal power transfer to your edges while touring.
   • Freedom of Movement: The dropped inside sidewall allows for greater freedom of movement, perfect for tucking your knee in a turn or tweaking a grab.

7. Environmental Responsibility:

   • Recycled Carbon Buckles: The buckles are made from recycled carbon fiber tow, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

Compatibility: The Karakoram Interface Hardware Prime is compatible with all Karakoram Prime System Splitboard Bindings, including the Guide HB. For older models like the Prime1, Prime SL, and pre-2024-2025 Women’s Small Nomad-W and X-W, a small modification may be required.

With its innovative design, premium materials, and advanced technology, it offers unparalleled performance, durability, and comfort.
