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.

Why Choose the Free Ranger Connect?

Active Joining Technology – Creates a rock-solid ride feel with zero chatter
Split Kit Included – Tour brackets, heel risers, and ride interface in one box
Ride-Stride Forward Lean – Tool-free adjustments with 8° stride mode and up to 22° lean
X-Type Heelcup – Custom-fit response with a CNC’d aluminum build
Open Chassis Design – Better board flex and weight reduction for long tours
Air-Form Straps – Minimal weight, maximum comfort
Tool-Free Adjustments – Dial in your ride on the fly
Compatible – Works with all Karakoram puck-style interfaces, plus Quiver Connectors for solid boards

Who It's For
The Free Ranger is for experienced splitboarders and backcountry riders who need bombproof construction, high-speed stability, and fast, no-fuss transitions. It’s ideal for bigger lines, longer tours, and variable alpine conditions.

What Riders Say
"I switched from Sparks to Karakorams and it was a game-changer—zero slop, quicker transitions, and way more confident descents." – @backcountrytom
