Karakoram Free Ranger Connect Binding w/ Split Kit

Karakoram Free Ranger Connect Binding w/ Split Kit

Power, Precision, and Seamless Splitboard Freedom

The Karakoram Free Ranger Connect is built for serious splitboarders who want responsive freeride performance and quick transitions in the backcountry. Featuring Karakoram’s signature Active Joining technology, this setup eliminates ride slop and locks your board halves into a solid, seamless ride. With a stiffer flex than the Grizzly and added split-touring capability, the Free Ranger is perfect for riders charging big lines, variable snow, and high-consequence terrain.

This model includes the full Karakoram Split Kit, giving you everything you need for skinning uphill and snapping into ride mode without fumbling with pins or clips. The Ride-Stride forward lean system, Air-Form ankle straps, and X-Type heelcup make for an adjustable, dialed-in fit that performs at both ends of the mountain.
